This paper reports on the development of a grant support unit in the Community College League of California's (CCLC) Ad Hoc Task Force on Grants and Development. A survey was developed and mailed during December, 1998, and again in January, 1999. In total, 92% of the 71 districts responded to the survey, 89% of the 106 campuses responded, and 100% of the 21 multi-college district offices responded. Findings of the survey indicate that few staff members have grant-writing and/or coordination of grants as a major part of their assigned duties. Other findings include: (1) 28% of the colleges responding indicated they have no staff with these responsibilities, 63% reported they have 1 to 2 staff members with these responsibilities, and the remaining 9% have 3 or more such staff members; (2) 84% of the colleges indicated that not having enough staff was "frequently" or "very frequently" a major reason for their lack of success; (3) district offices had even fewer of these staff members--38% reported no staff members with grant-writing or coordinating staff, and 48% reported having one or two such staff members; (4) 100% of district respondents reported not having enough staff as a "frequent" or "very frequent" impediment to success. Finally, the document reports on conclusions of the study and makes recommendations. (Contains 14 tables.) (Author/NB)
