Good morning, Doug. I'd start with Fred's recommendation/approach. It's similar to an approach I developed here at Michigan Tech but I use MySQL database. Having had the some experience with it before, I started created user accounts (e.g., john, jane, jill, james, etc.) with their own research group named after the PI as the primary UNIX group (e.g., amy-users). One of the tables in MySQL database keeps information about their full names, department and college affiliations, date of account creation, etc. If your user accounts aren't created this way, you could probably do a key-value match type process to affiliate a given user with a her/his research group.
SGE accounting log has, I believe, 46 fields for each entry (i.e., completed job or simulation) separated by colon (:). The description for the each field is available in the man page or http://gridscheduler.sourceforge.net/htmlman/htmlman5/accounting.html. One of this fields is the primary unix group. Once the data is in the MySQL table (a cron job could update it once a day or so), you could extract and prepare reports as you feel necessary. My workflow uses LaTeX to generate PDFs and a cron job to mail out the report to PIs every Monday morning. University administrators get it once a quarter.
