什么是Beacon预算模型?

The 信标预算模型 (BBM) is a hybrid form of Activity-Based 预算ing (ABB) for 马塞诸斯州大学波士顿 that distributes revenues and budget authority from instructional and 研究 activities, which are then allocated directly to the unit responsible for the activity.

The university will distribute revenues to 学校 and colleges using ABB principles, which means these funds are not distributed at the departmental level, 而是, each dean 确定s how to allocate funds within their school or college.

为什么采用这种模式?

BBM provides improved transparency and predictability around the budgeting process. Subsidies are deliberate rather than historical or accidental, and they can be better forecasted and strategically managed.

模型结构

BBM organizes the structure of the university into academic, 研究, 和服务 中心 (ARS 中心) and support units. ARS中心包括大学, 学校, 中心, 研究院, and auxiliary units that generate revenue through instruction, 研究, 和/或其他形式的自筹资金. Support units do not directly generate revenue to cover their expenses, 相反,它们提供了核心, shared services that support and enable the University to function and serve its academic mission. 这一组织反映如下:

农业研究所的中心

  • 教育与人类发展学院
  • 文理学院
  • 管理学院
  • 科学与数学学院
  • 曼宁护理与健康科学学院

时间轴

The shift to BBM will be implemented over multiple years. 该计划始于22财年, and a parallel budget process will continue for FY24 and FY25 and include the traditional incremental budget process as the primary method while testing and evaluation of BBM occurs at the same time. This will provide units with the ability to see what the model looks like, test how different levers may impact an individual unit’s fiscal picture, 确定, 并提供必要的培训, and inform important factors for full-scale implementation.
