Metrics

Tracking data or “metrics” help to measure an organization's activities and assist with developing strategies for ongoing improvement. At Cal Poly Humboldt's Sponsored Programs Foundation, the number of proposals and awards are tracked for various benefits including use as a forecasting tool. Metrics assist SPF in anticipating increased volume of proposals and awards to help balance increased workload.
