Resource Management Model for FY2009 Budget Development

The Resource Management Model was developed at Iowa State University in a thorough 20-month review. In January 2007, President Geoffroy decided that Iowa State University will adopt the Resource Management Model.

This differs from the university's former budgeting model in that the Resource Management Model:

• More accurately links responsibilities with resource decisions
• Provides decision-makers with more transparent and relevant information
• Provides a more effective way to accomplish the goals of the university's strategic plan
• Rewards units that focus on high quality education, research, and outreach programs
