<strong>Letter</strong> <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong><strong>Vice</strong> <strong>Chancellor</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Research</strong>Like any Annual Report, this year’s Summary <strong>of</strong> Sponsored <strong>Research</strong> contains retrospectivedata, summary reflections, and <strong>for</strong>ward-looking statements. In a year <strong>of</strong> continuedeconomic challenge, funding uncertainties, and constant change, we have none<strong>the</strong>less seenan unwavering constant. That constant is <strong>the</strong> passion and excellence <strong>of</strong> our faculty, staff,and trainees -- <strong>for</strong> inquiry, <strong>the</strong> creation <strong>of</strong> new knowledge, and <strong>the</strong> dissemination <strong>of</strong> thatknowledge <strong>for</strong> public good. Our position as a leader in research continues to benefit <strong>the</strong>world, long after <strong>the</strong> research is concluded and results published, and our students havebecome alumni.Fiscal year 2011 realized <strong>the</strong> anticipated waning <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> funding “bolus” which was infusedinto <strong>the</strong> nation’s research enterprise by <strong>the</strong> American Recovery and Reinvestment Act <strong>of</strong>2009. Washington University’s ARRA funding was $47M in FY11, compared to $105M in<strong>the</strong> ARRA apex year <strong>of</strong> FY10. None<strong>the</strong>less, total FY11 research funding <strong>of</strong> nearly $618Mevidenced <strong>the</strong> overall health and competitiveness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> University research enterprise, and<strong>the</strong> strength <strong>of</strong> our faculty in competing successfully <strong>for</strong> increasingly sought-after funding.As in previous years, Washington University in FY11 received <strong>the</strong> majority <strong>of</strong> its extramuralresearch funding <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> federal government. Federal agency support accounted <strong>for</strong> nearly76% <strong>of</strong> total research funding. <strong>The</strong> majority <strong>of</strong> that support derived <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> NationalInstitutes <strong>of</strong> Health, which provided almost 68% <strong>of</strong> total University sponsored projectdollars and more than 89% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> federal support.<strong>The</strong> unwinding <strong>of</strong> ARRA, which saw a 12% decrease in overall federal research spending,<strong>from</strong> FY10 to FY11, was mirrored in a 13% decrease in total Washington Universityresearch support. Our faculty, like <strong>the</strong> American research community, will be challengedgoing <strong>for</strong>ward, to maintain and grow <strong>the</strong>ir individual research enterprises. Increasedcompetition <strong>for</strong> federal research support has and will continue to necessitate greaternumbers <strong>of</strong> federal research applications by faculty and diversification <strong>of</strong> funding sources,such as foundations and <strong>the</strong> private sector. Washington University faculty, who currentlyenjoy greater-than-average success rates in federal funding, have already responded to <strong>the</strong>serealities. From FY06 to FY11, research funding <strong>from</strong> private sources grew 63%.


Private providers <strong>of</strong> research funding, in <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>m <strong>of</strong> sponsored laboratory and clinicalresearch grants, and philanthropy, <strong>from</strong> industry, corporations foundations, and diseaseadvocacy organizations, continue to provide substantial benefit to Washington University.Moreover, industry-sponsored research agreements represent <strong>the</strong> types <strong>of</strong> partnerships thatWashington University can <strong>for</strong>ge with <strong>the</strong> private sector in moving research advancementsthrough development, toward commercialization, and, ultimately, to improve <strong>the</strong> lives <strong>of</strong>people all over <strong>the</strong> world.<strong>The</strong> overall Washington University goal to “Enhance our global leadership today to benefit<strong>the</strong> world tomorrow” took a new direction in FY11, with a University-wide initiative <strong>of</strong>Innovation and Entrepreneurship. In March, <strong>Chancellor</strong> Mark Wrighton provided anaddress to <strong>the</strong> University community on this <strong>the</strong>me, and I followed with a presentation onInnovation, Intellectual Property, Commercialization, and Entrepreneurship in <strong>Research</strong>.<strong>The</strong>se presentations may be viewed on <strong>the</strong> <strong>Office</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Vice</strong> <strong>Chancellor</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Research</strong>(OVCR) website, at http://research.wustl.edu/Pages/default.aspx. Toge<strong>the</strong>r we set <strong>for</strong>th anambitious goal, to expand <strong>the</strong> University research culture and to enhance <strong>the</strong> role <strong>of</strong> WU incommercializable innovation -- creating intellectual property and advancing <strong>the</strong> fruits <strong>of</strong>research <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> greatest public benefit. <strong>The</strong> coming year will see <strong>the</strong> implementation <strong>of</strong> ourambitious plans to realize <strong>the</strong>se goals.New initiatives have not been limited to <strong>the</strong> agenda <strong>of</strong> innovation and entrepreneurship.FY11 saw <strong>the</strong> debut, and phenomenal success, <strong>of</strong> a new pilot grant program sponsored by<strong>the</strong> OVCR, designed to stimulate and support new collaborative research. Termed <strong>the</strong>University <strong>Research</strong> Strategic Alliance (“URSA”, Latin <strong>for</strong> Bear, <strong>the</strong> Washington Universitymascot), it requires that applications represent a new collaboration between faculty <strong>from</strong>different disciplines working toge<strong>the</strong>r in a new area <strong>of</strong> research or approaching a problem inan innovative way. <strong>The</strong> goal is to promote new collaborations that build on differentscientific and scholarly backgrounds to facilitate breakthroughs in solving challengingresearch questions in a collaborative manner. <strong>The</strong> program attracted over <strong>for</strong>ty applications,most <strong>from</strong> teams <strong>of</strong> investigators <strong>from</strong> different Washington University Schools. <strong>The</strong>applications were outstanding in <strong>the</strong>ir quality and novelty <strong>of</strong> collaborations, and six werefunded with <strong>the</strong> resources available. Hopefully many if not all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> new collaborations,funded and unfunded by URSA, will persist and succeed. <strong>The</strong> URSA Program will returnannually.This Annual Report presents funding and expenditure data and accounts <strong>of</strong> innovativeresearch and technology <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> past year. As we strive to attract <strong>the</strong> best faculty andstudents, and support <strong>the</strong>m in <strong>the</strong>ir research endeavors, next year will entail revising andstreng<strong>the</strong>ning our operational and regulatory infrastructure, establishing and maintainingentrepreneurial partnerships, and supporting and encouraging innovative faculty and alumni,to help guarantee Washington University’s place as a global leader well into <strong>the</strong> future.Evan D. Kharasch, MD PhD<strong>Vice</strong> <strong>Chancellor</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Research</strong>

OVCR Annual ReportFiscal Year 2011Sponsored <strong>Research</strong> FundingSponsored <strong>Research</strong> FundingExecutive Summary<strong>The</strong> Washington University in St. Louis (WU) research program had ano<strong>the</strong>r successful year infiscal year 2011 (FY11), receiving $617.7M <strong>of</strong> sponsored research awards. This amount <strong>of</strong>funding continues to demonstrate <strong>the</strong> strength <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> WU research program and facultyengaged in research, a particularly successful achievement in light <strong>of</strong> a struggling nationaleconomy, intense scrutiny <strong>of</strong> government spending, and <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> American Recovery andReinvestment Act (ARRA) <strong>of</strong> 2009.Funding HistoryFunding growth over five years (FY06-FY11) was a healthy 13.2%, largely due to <strong>the</strong> boom year<strong>of</strong> FY10, which was also <strong>the</strong> peak year <strong>for</strong> ARRA funding. As expected, <strong>the</strong> ARRA awardsdropped in FY11 since most agencies completed awarding <strong>the</strong>ir ARRA funds in FY10. Asexplained later in this Executive Summary, ARRA was a one-time, unique occurrence in <strong>the</strong>research funding environment that all academic institutions experienced. WU certainlybenefited <strong>from</strong> this unusual funding opportunity, but ARRA funding decreased as expected,<strong>from</strong> $105M in FY10 to $47.4M in FY11 (54.9%). More importantly, however, WU facultymanaged to s<strong>of</strong>ten <strong>the</strong> effect <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ending <strong>of</strong> ARRA funding by acquiring $570.3M <strong>of</strong> non-ARRA funding, so that total funding in FY11 ($617.7M) decreased <strong>from</strong> FY10 ($706.3M) bymuch less (12.6%) than expected. Removing <strong>the</strong> ARRA funds <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> total funding picture<strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> sake <strong>of</strong> comparative analysis, <strong>the</strong> total funding in FY11 was 5.2% less than FY10, butgrew 1.2% over two years and 4.4% over five years.Total ($M)GrowthTotal (withARRA)Total (w/outARRA)FY06 FY07 FY08 FY09 FY10 FY11 5-yr 4-yr 2-yr 1-yr546 537 548 567 706 618 13.2% 15.1% 9.0% -12.6%546 537 548 563 601 570 4.4% 6.1% 1.2% -5.2%<strong>The</strong> percentages <strong>of</strong> funding per major sponsor type related to total funding <strong>of</strong> $617.7M weresimilar or <strong>the</strong> same as <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> prior year. Federal support accounted <strong>for</strong> 75.8% <strong>of</strong> total funding;state, local, and international <strong>for</strong> 4.2%; and private <strong>for</strong> 20.1%.Federal Agency FundingFederal agency support at $468M is by far <strong>the</strong> leading source <strong>of</strong> research award dollars <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>University, accounting <strong>for</strong> 75.8% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> total ($617.7M) <strong>for</strong> FY11. Federal dollars in FY11accounted <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> same percentage <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> total in FY10, a sign that University faculty remainedcompetitive <strong>for</strong> important federal support, particularly <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> National Institutes <strong>of</strong> Health(NIH). <strong>The</strong> decrease in total federal funding dollars (12.5%) closely mirrors that <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> totalfunding decrease (12.6%).1


OVCR Annual ReportFiscal Year 2011Sponsored <strong>Research</strong> Funding<strong>The</strong> amount <strong>of</strong> federal direct costs received decreased by about $54M (13.6%) in FY11, andfederal Facilities & Administrative (F&A) costs received decreased by $13.0M (9.4%). For moredetails on direct and F&A costs, see Tables 5 through 6A on pages 25 through 27, and <strong>the</strong>Sponsored Projects Expense section <strong>of</strong> this report.Key Federal <strong>Research</strong> Sponsors<strong>The</strong> number one federal sponsor <strong>of</strong> University research is <strong>the</strong> NIH. Its total awardobligation <strong>of</strong> $418.1M to WU (13.5% less than <strong>the</strong> previous fiscal year) represents 67.7%<strong>of</strong> WU’s total sponsored project funding and 89.3% <strong>of</strong> itsfederal dollars. NIH was also <strong>the</strong> primary contributor <strong>of</strong>ARRA funding in <strong>the</strong> amount <strong>of</strong> $42.6M, which accounted<strong>for</strong> 89.9% <strong>of</strong> total ARRA funding, 10.2% <strong>of</strong> total NIHdollars, and 6.9% <strong>of</strong> total funding to WU in FY11. NIHARRA funding to WU saw a 53.9% decrease <strong>from</strong> FY10 toFY11, correlating with <strong>the</strong> decrease in total ARRA funding(54.9%).School <strong>of</strong> Medicine NIH award dollars in FY11 ($390.5M)decreased by $57.1M (12.8%) compared to FY10($447.6M). <strong>The</strong> decrease in NIH funding to <strong>the</strong> School <strong>of</strong>Medicine ($57.1M) was 87.3% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> total NIH decrease <strong>of</strong>NIH is <strong>the</strong> primarycontributor <strong>of</strong> both totalfunding and ARRAfunding to <strong>the</strong> University.Subsequently, all Schoolsreceiving NIH fundingsaw decreases in support<strong>from</strong> that federal agencyin FY11compared toFY10.$65.4M, 85.2% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> total federal dollar decrease <strong>of</strong> $67M, and 64.9% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> total fundingdecrease <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> University ($88M). <strong>The</strong> Medical School and University continue to becompetitive <strong>for</strong> NIH dollars, however. <strong>The</strong> Blue Ridge Institute <strong>for</strong> Medical <strong>Research</strong>(BRIMR) ranks WU fourth among medical schools <strong>for</strong> NIH funding provided during <strong>the</strong>government’s FY2011. 1Total NIH dollars awarded to <strong>the</strong> School <strong>of</strong> Engineering in FY11 ($9.7M) decreased by19.2% <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> previous year. NIH award dollars in FY11 to <strong>the</strong> George Warren BrownSchool <strong>of</strong> Social Work decreased by $3.5M (32.7%), bringing it to just above <strong>the</strong> FY09funding level. Arts & Sciences experienced a similar decline to that <strong>of</strong> FY10, receiving 17.5%fewer NIH dollars in FY11.<strong>The</strong> National Science Foundation (NSF) remains <strong>the</strong> second largest contributor <strong>of</strong> federaldollars to University research with obligations <strong>of</strong> $14.8M <strong>for</strong> FY11, a 36.8% decrease <strong>from</strong><strong>the</strong> prior year. <strong>The</strong> University received no ARRA funding directly <strong>from</strong> NSF in FY11. <strong>The</strong>Schools <strong>of</strong> Arts & Sciences and Engineering typically receive <strong>the</strong> majority <strong>of</strong> NSF funding toWU. Engineering received $6.2M (a decrease <strong>of</strong> 17.3% <strong>from</strong> FY10), and Arts & Sciencesreceived $6.8M (a decrease <strong>of</strong> 49.3% <strong>from</strong> FY10). As with prior years, increases anddecreases in Arts & Sciences are due not <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> loss or gain <strong>of</strong> one single grant butmultiple grants spread across <strong>the</strong> departments within <strong>the</strong> School. NSF funding to <strong>the</strong> School<strong>of</strong> Medicine decreased by $483,000 (a decrease <strong>of</strong> 22.7% compared to <strong>the</strong> prior year). <strong>The</strong>School <strong>of</strong> Social Work, which typically receives little or no funding <strong>from</strong> NSF each year,received no funding <strong>from</strong> NSF in FY11.1 <strong>The</strong> Blue Ridge Institute <strong>for</strong> Medical <strong>Research</strong> (BRIMR). www.brimr.org.2


OVCR Annual ReportFiscal Year 2011Sponsored <strong>Research</strong> FundingDepartment <strong>of</strong> Energy (DOE) total funding to WU decreased 13.8% ($1.3M) <strong>from</strong> FY10($9.5M) to FY11 ($8.1M). <strong>The</strong> International Center <strong>for</strong> Advanced Renewable Energy andSustainability (I-CARES) received a DOE grant <strong>for</strong> nearly $1.5M in FY11.Tables 6 and 6A (page 26 and 27) list <strong>the</strong> different sponsoring agencies with dollar volumeand change <strong>from</strong> FY10 to FY11. Tables 7 and 7A (pages 28 and 29) fur<strong>the</strong>r break outagency funding by School.Award data are <strong>of</strong>ten affected by unusual events such as large, multi-year private awards inwhich all funds are provided at <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> project. Though <strong>the</strong> work on <strong>the</strong>se projectsis spread over <strong>the</strong> course <strong>of</strong> several years, <strong>the</strong> amount <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> total award is registered entirely inone year. For that reason, annual award levels may vary significantly year to year and do notnecessarily reflect <strong>the</strong> amount <strong>of</strong> funding available <strong>for</strong> use in any given fiscal year. In addition,<strong>the</strong> receipt or completion <strong>of</strong> a single significant award may have a dramatic affect on percentagesshown in this report. <strong>The</strong> award data picture over <strong>the</strong> last two years has been uniquely affectedby <strong>the</strong> one-time implementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ARRA program.American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA)<strong>The</strong> ARRA program enacted in 2009 provided WU and o<strong>the</strong>r institutions a unique andpositive opportunity to conduct research on certain eligible programs in a short-two yearwindow. This national reinvestment program was designed to help <strong>the</strong> U.S. economyrecover <strong>from</strong> a deep recession by funding programs that would sustain or create new jobs.As a result <strong>of</strong> this program, WU faculty benefited significantly <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> new and additionalfunds supporting <strong>the</strong>ir research. Through FY11, WU received more than $157M in stimulusfunding provided by <strong>the</strong> federal government under ARRA. In FY11, $47.4M in ARRAfunding was received by WU, a 54.9% decrease <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> peak year <strong>of</strong> FY10. After aremarkable FY10, wherein already-healthy research funding levels were supplemented bymore than $105M in ARRA obligations, <strong>the</strong> federal government’s spending under <strong>the</strong>stimulus program slowed.Three factors are important to remember when comparing ARRA funding in FY11 to FY10.• Activity peaked in <strong>the</strong> first full year <strong>of</strong> ARRA funding, FY10 ($105M), as expected dueto <strong>the</strong> U.S. government’s stipulation that funds be distributed and expended within anarrow window <strong>of</strong> time. ARRA dollars received during FY11 were largely those awardedto new proposals <strong>for</strong> stimulus funding, whereas in FY10, ARRA funding came not only<strong>from</strong> new proposals but also supplements to existing awards and proposals thatpreviously had been declined due to lack <strong>of</strong> money ra<strong>the</strong>r than lack <strong>of</strong> worthiness.• Although ARRA funding was originally provided by federal agencies, in FY10 and FY11<strong>the</strong> University also benefited <strong>from</strong> funding that originally went to o<strong>the</strong>r institutions andagencies. Stimulus funding was received <strong>from</strong> local and state governments, internationalorganizations, and private donors as a result <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir receiving federal ARRA funds andpassing <strong>the</strong>m through to <strong>the</strong> University.3


OVCR Annual ReportFiscal Year 2011Sponsored <strong>Research</strong> Funding• All universities that received ARRA funding will see a similar peak-and-valley picture <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong>ir research funds as <strong>the</strong> ARRA program comes to a close.<strong>The</strong> table below shows <strong>the</strong> stimulus dollars received each year since <strong>the</strong> reinvestment andrecovery program began in FY09. <strong>The</strong> total <strong>of</strong> $47.4M in ARRA funding <strong>for</strong> FY11represents 7.7% <strong>of</strong> total sponsored research funding to WU ($617.7M).ARRA (000s)Sponsor TypeFY09 FY10 FY11Federal $4,730 $98,530 $43,130State/Local/Int'l 0 2,344 1,065Private 0 4,159 3,188TOTAL $4,730 $105,033 $47,383Private Sources: Industry and Non-Pr<strong>of</strong>it Sponsor SupportWU has experienced a trend <strong>of</strong> increased funding <strong>from</strong> private (industry and non-pr<strong>of</strong>it)sources, playing an important role in filling <strong>the</strong> gap left by declining federal support. Growth inthis sector reached 63.2% over a five-year-period, and increased 11.7% <strong>from</strong> FY09. Whilefunding <strong>from</strong> FY10 to FY11 declined 15.7%, part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> decrease can be attributed to a lack <strong>of</strong>large, multi-year grants <strong>from</strong> non-pr<strong>of</strong>its and industry, which also experienced a negative effect<strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> U.S. economic troubles. Industry funding <strong>of</strong> $19.3M was 24.3% ($6.2M) less than inFY10, and non-pr<strong>of</strong>it funding <strong>of</strong> $104.6M was 13.5% ($16.4M) less than in FY10.Federal ARRA dollars flowing through non-federal sources to WU had a negligible influence onprivate sources, accounting <strong>for</strong> just 2.6% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> total private funding received in FY11(compared to 14.9% in FY10).<strong>The</strong> School <strong>of</strong> Medicine received three notable grants totaling more than $17M in FY11, <strong>from</strong>non-pr<strong>of</strong>it entities. Of note also are two contracts totaling nearly $7M <strong>from</strong> industry sponsors to<strong>the</strong> School <strong>of</strong> Medicine.<strong>The</strong> School <strong>of</strong> Arts & Sciences received a $1M award <strong>from</strong> a corporate foundation, and an$800,000 award <strong>from</strong> a not-<strong>for</strong>-pr<strong>of</strong>it institute.<strong>The</strong> Effect <strong>of</strong> ARRAARRA was an historic infusion <strong>of</strong> funding into research institution programs. Its effect onfunding cannot be emphasized enough when discussing <strong>the</strong> total sponsored research funding <strong>for</strong>multiple fiscal years. <strong>The</strong> importance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ARRA funding era is particularly evident whenviewing federal funding levels across fiscal years 2006 through 2011.4


OVCR Annual ReportFiscal Year 2011Sponsored <strong>Research</strong> FundingAs <strong>the</strong> table and figure below show, ARRA greatly enhances <strong>the</strong> picture <strong>of</strong> federal fundinggrowth over several years. Although <strong>the</strong> University showed overall growth in total federalresearch funding <strong>from</strong> FY06 to FY11 (3.5%) and <strong>from</strong> FY09 to FY11 (7.1%), those figuresinclude ARRA funding. Without stimulus dollars, as <strong>the</strong> second line in <strong>the</strong> table below shows,federal funding <strong>for</strong> FY06 to FY11 would have decreased by 6.0%, and decreased by 1.8% <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>period FY09 to FY11.Federal(with ARRA)Federal(w/out ARRA)Total ($M)GrowthFY06 FY07 FY08 FY09 FY10 FY11 5-yr 4-yr 2-yr452 444 440 437 535 468 3.5% 5.4% 7.1%452 444 440 433 437 425 -6.0% -4.3% -1.8%<strong>The</strong> following graph clearly shows <strong>the</strong> peak <strong>for</strong> ARRA in FY10.

OVCR Annual ReportFiscal Year 2011Sponsored <strong>Research</strong> Funding<strong>The</strong> effect on total funding by ARRA directly correlates with that on federal funding. Totalfunding decreased 12.6% and federal funding decreased 12.5% <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> prior year. Whenfunding is examined without taking ARRA dollars into account, it becomes clear that <strong>the</strong>University remained competitive in total funding. While total ARRA funding decreased 54.9%<strong>from</strong> FY10 to FY11, and direct federal ARRA funding decreased 56.2%, total research funding at$617.6M decreased <strong>from</strong> FY10 ($706.3M) by a lesser degree – 12.6% ($88.6M) – and whendiscounting ARRA dollars altoge<strong>the</strong>r, total funding at $570.3M decreased by an even lesseramount – 5.2% ($31.0M) – <strong>from</strong> FY10 ($601.3M).Although <strong>the</strong> University showed overall growth in total research funding <strong>from</strong> FY06 to FY11(13.2%) and <strong>from</strong> FY09 to FY11 (9.0%), those figures include ARRA funding.

OVCR Annual ReportFiscal Year 2011Sponsored <strong>Research</strong> FundingA decrease in research funding <strong>from</strong> FY10 to FY11, including acorrelative decrease in federal funding, was expected as <strong>the</strong>number <strong>of</strong> ARRA awards declined after <strong>the</strong> apex year <strong>of</strong> FY10.Total funding decreased 12.6% and federal funding decreased12.5% <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> prior year. State, Local, and International (“o<strong>the</strong>rgovernment”) awards increased by 4.0% <strong>from</strong> FY10, a result <strong>of</strong>federal ARRA flow-through dollars. (Without ARRA funding, thiscategory would have experienced a 0.3% decrease.) Privateindustry and non-pr<strong>of</strong>it funding in total decreased 15.7% <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong>prior year, but was 11.7% higher than FY09.<strong>The</strong> completion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ARRA stimulus era may coincide with anhistoric shift in <strong>the</strong> way <strong>the</strong> federal government, particularly NIH,views its investment in research. <strong>The</strong>re has already been an ef<strong>for</strong>tWhile ARRA had apositive, short-termimpact on WU, it isimportant to rememberthat <strong>the</strong> core <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>WU research programremained strong, asdemonstrated by <strong>the</strong>growth <strong>of</strong> non-ARRAfunding between FY09and FY11 <strong>of</strong> 1.2%.to concentrate a greater proportion <strong>of</strong> funding toward centers and o<strong>the</strong>r collaborative ef<strong>for</strong>ts as<strong>the</strong> continued economic strain <strong>for</strong>ces federal agencies to consider ways to stretch <strong>the</strong>ir fundingdollars fur<strong>the</strong>r. O<strong>the</strong>r research institutions may also find increased competition <strong>for</strong> federaldollars; all will be looking <strong>for</strong> new strategies.<strong>The</strong> spending <strong>of</strong> ARRA funds nationally can be monitored through <strong>the</strong> federal government’swebsite: www.recovery.gov.Fiscal Year 2010It is important to note FY10’s uniqueness in that it was also <strong>the</strong> peak <strong>for</strong> non-ARRA funding,a testament to <strong>the</strong> ef<strong>for</strong>ts <strong>of</strong> WU faculty to remain competitive in a struggling economy andchanging funding environment.Non-ARRA funding highlights <strong>of</strong> FY10 included $12M <strong>from</strong> private industry <strong>for</strong> energyresearch, $19M <strong>from</strong> NIH toward <strong>the</strong> Human Microbiome Project, a $20M grant <strong>from</strong> a nonpr<strong>of</strong>itentity <strong>for</strong> children’s medical research, $5M <strong>from</strong> a foundation toward eliminatingtropical diseases, and nearly $8M <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> first year <strong>of</strong> a DOE grant to establish an EnergyFrontier <strong>Research</strong> Center. <strong>The</strong> approximately $64M in non-ARRA funding provided by just<strong>the</strong>se examples accounted <strong>for</strong> nearly 46% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> $139M increase in total funding <strong>from</strong> FY09($567M) to FY10 ($706M). Even without that infusion <strong>of</strong> non-ARRA funding, total FY10funding would have increased by approximately 13.2% over FY09.Large Center FundingAs predicted previously by several observers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> research funding environment, NIH istargeting collaborative multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary initiatives. Two <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> largestgrants received by WU researchers in FY11 were to multi-institution projects: one with fiveinstitutions and <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r with nine. Because <strong>the</strong> University has long recognized that Centersand Institutes are integral to a healthy research environment and successful fundingacquisition, it has established many innovative, vibrant, and thriving collaborative centers, andwill continue to do so.7

OVCR Annual ReportFiscal Year 2011Sponsored <strong>Research</strong> FundingA decrease in research funding <strong>from</strong> FY10 to FY11, including a correlative decrease in federalfunding, was expected as ARRA awards dwindled after <strong>the</strong> peak year <strong>of</strong> FY10. Total fundingdecreased 12.6%, and federal funding decreased 12.5% <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> prior year. State, Local, andInternational (“o<strong>the</strong>r government”) awards increased by 4.0% <strong>from</strong> FY10, a result <strong>of</strong> federalARRA flow-through dollars. Without ARRA funding, this category would have experienced a0.3% decrease. Private industry and non-pr<strong>of</strong>it funding in total decreased 15.4% <strong>from</strong> prior yearFY10, but was 11.7% higher than FY09. Without ARRA <strong>the</strong> total funding <strong>for</strong> FY11 would havebeen 5.2% less than <strong>for</strong> FY10 and only 1.2% more than FY09.Figure 1A illustrates <strong>the</strong> effect <strong>of</strong> ARRA on total sponsored research, especially in FY10, <strong>the</strong>peak year <strong>for</strong> both ARRA and non-ARRA funding.

For <strong>the</strong> period FY06-FY11,<strong>the</strong> average per year with ARRA funding is $587M, while without ARRA funding it is $561M, adifference <strong>of</strong> $26M average per year. For <strong>the</strong> period FY09-FY11, with ARRA dollars <strong>the</strong> averageper year is $630M, while <strong>the</strong> average <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> same period without ARRA funding is $578M, adifference <strong>of</strong> $52M average per year.ARRA is not <strong>the</strong> only unique factor affecting <strong>the</strong> total funding <strong>for</strong> FY11 ($617.6M) versusFY10 ($706M). <strong>The</strong> FY10 non-ARRA total included $12M <strong>from</strong> private industry <strong>for</strong> energyresearch, $19M <strong>from</strong> NIH toward <strong>the</strong> Human Microbiome Project, a $20M grant <strong>from</strong> a nonpr<strong>of</strong>itentity <strong>for</strong> children’s medical research, $5M <strong>from</strong> a foundation toward eliminating10

OVCR Annual ReportFiscal Year 2011Technology Management & Intellectual PropertyTechnology Highlights <strong>for</strong> Fiscal Year 2011Cardiac ImagingBy using new analysis and computation techniques, coupled with existing Magnetic ResonanceImaging (MRI) techniques, a clear picture <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> expansion and contraction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> heart can bemade. <strong>The</strong> resulting precise image can be used clinically by cardiologists and surgeons todetermine <strong>the</strong> proper type <strong>of</strong> treatment. Primary Investigator: Michael Pasque, Surgery. Thistechnology has been exclusively licensed to a St. Louis startup company: CardioWise, Inc.BarIC ProbeCerebral shunt malfunction is a life threatening problem which can be <strong>of</strong>ten very difficult todiagnose and treat. Each year, approximately 40,000 shunt related operations are per<strong>for</strong>med and40% <strong>of</strong> shunts fail during <strong>the</strong> first year after implantation. Symptoms <strong>of</strong> shunt malfunction areambiguous and <strong>of</strong>ten lead to costly evaluations and hospital admissions. <strong>The</strong> most direct way todetermine shunt malfunction and hydrocephalus is measuring intracranial pressure (ICP)through a surgical procedure. Delays in diagnosis/treatment may cause health and cognitiveproblems. A noninvasive ICP monitoring process is not currently available. BarICProbe is animplantable intracranial pressure monitor that can be easily and non-invasively interrogated byexternal ultrasound. <strong>The</strong> device is consistent with shunt implantation techniques and can beimplanted concurrently. <strong>The</strong> BarICProbe is small, MRI-compatible, and bio-compatible. <strong>The</strong>ease <strong>of</strong> use and chronic ability <strong>of</strong> BarICProbe will improve patient outcomes through its abilityto diagnose problems in an ambulatory setting, more appropriate timing <strong>of</strong> surgery, and <strong>the</strong>avoidance <strong>of</strong> unnecessary admissions and tests. Primary Investigator: Eric Leuthardt,Neurosurgery. <strong>The</strong> BarIC Probe has been exclusively licensed to a Boston-area startupcompany: Allied Minds Devices, LLC.High Throughput Liquid Film ElectrosprayExisting atomization and electrospray techniques permit only one or two grams <strong>of</strong> material anhour due to <strong>the</strong> design <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> capillaries. For example, electrostatic atomization <strong>of</strong> foodadditives, such as coloring agents, stabilizers and alcohols, cannot be achieved in <strong>the</strong> volumesrequired with existing techniques. This invention is a new design <strong>of</strong> an atomization head thatpermits pounds <strong>of</strong> material per hour deposition and should be able to be scaled up considerably.Primary Investigator: Da-Ren ChenA Process <strong>for</strong> Making Copper Nanostructures Below 24nm Size<strong>The</strong> wires made with this process are ~ one-half <strong>the</strong> diameter <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> thinnest Cu nanowire madein commercial processes today. Although gold and silver, inter alia, can be made in <strong>the</strong> 24nmrange, this is <strong>the</strong> first process to show <strong>the</strong> ability to make Cu (a much cheaper material) in suchsizes with <strong>the</strong> ability to scale up to commercial production rates. Cu nanowires are excellentconductors <strong>of</strong> electricity, and as <strong>the</strong> wires get smaller, many more transistors can be put on asingle microprocessor – speeding up and enhancing computer capability. Cu nanowires can alsobe used as catalysts, in displays, heat pipes and solar cells, and to make smaller LEDs and LCDs.Primary Investigator: Younan Xia41


OVCR Annual ReportFiscal Year 2011Technology Management & Intellectual PropertyDichromic Fluorescent CompoundsIt has been discovered that structural asymmetry <strong>of</strong> chromic compounds results in <strong>the</strong>generation <strong>of</strong> dichromic emissions that have distinct lifetimes. Because <strong>the</strong> fluorescent lifetimes<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> two peaks are distinct, <strong>the</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mation content may be multiplexed. <strong>The</strong> dichromicfluorescent compounds may advantageously be utilized <strong>for</strong> several applications includingimaging, diagnostics, to monitor biological events, and <strong>for</strong> detecting and monitoring molecularprocesses. Primary Investigator: Samuel Achilefu, Radiology.Fluorescent Polymethine Cyanine Dyes<strong>The</strong> present invention provides compounds that possess a robust C-C bond containing nearinfrared chromophore as optical antenna. <strong>The</strong> C-C bond allows <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> stable dyes<strong>for</strong> imaging and monitoring biological events such as disease-associated enzymatic activity. Thisnovel molecular design <strong>of</strong>fers superior chemical stability <strong>for</strong> biomedical and analyticalapplications. Because <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> biological stability, changes in spectral properties can be attributedaccurately to target biological processes such as monitoring disease-associated enzymatic activity.<strong>The</strong> C-C coupled dyes also allows <strong>for</strong> extended pi-bond conjugation, <strong>the</strong>reby enabling <strong>the</strong> use <strong>of</strong>new designs to obtain diagnostically useful spectral in<strong>for</strong>mation such as pH-sensitive response insolid tumors. Primary Investigator: Samuel Achilefu, Radiology.Compounds Having Rd Targeting Motifs<strong>The</strong> present invention provides compounds that have motifs that target <strong>the</strong> compounds to cellsthat express integrins. In particular, <strong>the</strong> compound shave peptides with one or more RD motifsconjugated to an agent selected <strong>from</strong> an imaging agent and a targeting agent. <strong>The</strong>se compoundsmay be used to detect, monitor, and treat a variety <strong>of</strong> integrin-mediated biological processes,including <strong>the</strong> progression <strong>of</strong> disease states such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, inflammationand cancer. Primary Investigator: Samuel Achilefu, RadiologyEffective Anti-integrin Antitumor Reagent <strong>for</strong> ChrondrosarcomaChondrosarcoma is a difficult musculoskeletal tumor to treat. Chemo<strong>the</strong>rapy is only somewhateffective in mesenchymal chondrosarcoma and is <strong>of</strong> uncertain value in dedifferentiatedchondrosarcoma. Surgical excision is <strong>the</strong> only tumor treatment, but it leads to severe disabilitywith high rate <strong>of</strong> local recurrence, <strong>of</strong>ten at a higher grade, and can thus be life threatening.Radiation and adjuvant <strong>the</strong>rapy are not effective in differentiated chondrosarcoma. Moreeffective antitumor reagents <strong>for</strong> chondrosarcoma are needed. <strong>The</strong> present invention utilizes ananti-integrin reagent which has chondrosarcoma tumor cell killing activity in vitro. Promisinganimal data indicates that this is also true in vivo.

Primary Investigator: Doug Covey,Developmental BiologyNovel <strong>The</strong>rapies to Treat Cancer<strong>Research</strong>ers at Washington University have identified several agents (antibodies and/orpeptides) targeted to radiation inducible antigens. This is a new paradigm in <strong>the</strong>rapeutic antibodydevelopment. <strong>The</strong> principle <strong>of</strong> inducible antigens is that ionizing radiation induces <strong>the</strong>translocation <strong>of</strong> protein <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> intracellular reservoirs to <strong>the</strong> cancer cell surface. <strong>The</strong> proteinsare over expressed in cancer cells but not in <strong>the</strong> normal tissue which allows antibodies toopsonize cancer cells after x-ray irradiation in a specific manner. Ef<strong>for</strong>ts are underway tooptimize and test <strong>the</strong>se agents in a clinical setting <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>rapeutic and imaging purposes. PrimaryInvestigator: Dennis Hallahan, Radiation OncologyBiomarker <strong>for</strong> Alzheimer's Disease and Human Brain InjuryBiomarker such as VILIP-1 (Visinin-like protein-1) is an important prognostic and diagnostictool in providing an early indication <strong>of</strong> brain injury such as Alzheimer's disease, stroke and o<strong>the</strong>rrelated disease indications. VILIP-1 is a neuronal calcium-sensor protein that had beenidentified as a potential marker <strong>of</strong> neuronal injury in large-scale gene-array analyses andconfirmed in brain injury models.

PrimaryInvestigator: Zhou-Feng Chen, Anes<strong>the</strong>siology.Novel Genetic Risk Factor <strong>for</strong> Alzheimer’s Disease Progression<strong>Research</strong>ers at Washington University have identified a novel genetic variant that stronglycorrelates with Alzheimer’s disease progression. Dr. Alison Goate and collaborators used anestablished biomarker <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> decline <strong>of</strong> AD patients (cerebrospinal fluid tau phosphorylated atthreonine 181, ptau 181 ) to find genetic variants that influence levels <strong>of</strong> ptau 181 in <strong>the</strong> cerebrospinalfluid. <strong>The</strong> study found a highly significant association between ptau 181 levels and <strong>the</strong> rs1868402SNP located within a regulatory subunit <strong>of</strong> PPP3R1 (calcineurin B), a gene previously linked toAD pathogenesis. Carriers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> rs1868402 risk allele showed a 6-fold faster rate <strong>of</strong> diseaseprogression than AD patients without <strong>the</strong> variant. Direct examination <strong>of</strong> brain samples <strong>from</strong>AD cases and controls revealed that rs1868402is in fact associated with reduced PPP3R1 mRNAlevels and increased tangle <strong>for</strong>mation, providing biological validation <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> genome-wideassociation study and fur<strong>the</strong>r implicating PPP3R1 in disease pathology. As <strong>the</strong> first geneticvariant associated with rate <strong>of</strong> AD progression to be reported, its use in clinical trial design andpatient care will translate into a significant benefit to patients.

OVCR Annual ReportFiscal Year 2011Technology Management & Intellectual PropertyNovel Genetic Risk Factor <strong>for</strong> Alzheimer’s Disease Progression<strong>Research</strong>ers at Washington University have identified a novel genetic variant that stronglycorrelates with Alzheimer’s disease progression. Dr. Alison Goate and collaborators used anestablished biomarker <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> decline <strong>of</strong> AD patients (cerebrospinal fluid tau phosphorylated atthreonine 181, ptau 181 ) to find genetic variants that influence levels <strong>of</strong> ptau 181 in <strong>the</strong> cerebrospinalfluid. <strong>The</strong> study found a highly significant association between ptau 181 levels and <strong>the</strong> rs1868402SNP located within a regulatory subunit <strong>of</strong> PPP3R1 (calcineurin B), a gene previously linked toAD pathogenesis. Carriers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> rs1868402 risk allele showed a 6-fold faster rate <strong>of</strong> diseaseprogression than AD patients without <strong>the</strong> variant. Direct examination <strong>of</strong> brain samples <strong>from</strong>AD cases and controls revealed that rs1868402is in fact associated with reduced PPP3R1 mRNAlevels and increased tangle <strong>for</strong>mation, providing biological validation <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> genome-wideassociation study and fur<strong>the</strong>r implicating PPP3R1 in disease pathology.

Some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> licensing or license-related arrangements OTM enters intoare as follows:Evaluation & Option Agreement:• Gives a company a time-limited (generally six months to a year) “preview” <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>invention <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> purpose <strong>of</strong> deciding whe<strong>the</strong>r to take a license.Non-Exclusive License Agreement:• Fee- and royalty-bearing license: rights are granted to commercialize <strong>the</strong> technology,may be granted to multiple licensees.• Paid-up license: a non-exclusive license granted <strong>for</strong> a one-time, up-front license feewithout subsequent fees or royalties.• No-fee license: rights are granted to a third party (usually ano<strong>the</strong>r non-pr<strong>of</strong>iteducational institution) to use a technology that is generally licensed to commercialentities <strong>for</strong> a fee.Exclusive License Agreement:• A fee- and royalty-bearing exclusive license; grants a licensee <strong>the</strong> sole right tocommercialize a technology (may include sublicensing rights).License agreements may be limited to a particular field <strong>of</strong> use or geographic area. <strong>The</strong>y also <strong>of</strong>tenvary in terms <strong>of</strong> amount <strong>of</strong> fees and royalties due, milestones to be achieved by <strong>the</strong> company, andlength <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> agreement. While <strong>the</strong> majority <strong>of</strong> licenses granted by <strong>the</strong> University are to existingcommercial companies, <strong>the</strong> University is also actively supporting and encouraging <strong>the</strong> creation <strong>of</strong>new business ventures in St. Louis by licensing technology to start-up companies.In FY11 <strong>the</strong> University entered into 12 Evaluation and Option Agreements. This year <strong>the</strong>University also granted a total <strong>of</strong> 48 revenue-generating licenses, 15 exclusive and 33 nonexclusive.<strong>The</strong> table below shows <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> revenue-generating licenses by School. Thisresult is remarkable considering <strong>the</strong> downturn in <strong>the</strong> global economy and continuation <strong>of</strong>company mergers and downsizing.FY11 FY10 FY09 FY08 FY07Arts & Sciences 0 0 0 0 0Engineering 3 3 2 3 0Medicine 45 38 41 38 45Law 0 0 0 1 0Social Work 0 0 1 0 0Total 48 41 44 42 45Table 6Licenses by School – FY11 through FY0757

OVCR Annual ReportFiscal Year 2011Clinical Trials – Industry SponsoredClinical Trials – Industry SponsoredExecutive Summary<strong>The</strong> industry-funded clinical studies described in this report are per<strong>for</strong>med by numerous facultythroughout <strong>the</strong> School <strong>of</strong> Medicine. <strong>The</strong>re are also a number <strong>of</strong> centers dedicated to supportingclinical studies across <strong>the</strong> School <strong>of</strong> Medicine; some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se centers are highlighted below.Center <strong>for</strong> Clinical Studies<strong>The</strong> mission <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Center <strong>for</strong> Clinical Studies (CCS) is to facilitate clinical research <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>highest quality – supporting <strong>the</strong> effective evaluation <strong>of</strong> pharmaceuticals, medical devices, andtreatment outcomes – by providing <strong>the</strong> Washington University research community withadministrative and clinical research services that move trials efficiently <strong>from</strong> initial proposalthrough study close-out. We assist with clinical research studies supported by federal andfoundation grants and industry contracts, including strong support <strong>for</strong> investigator-initiatedstudies. Our services include study placement, IRB and o<strong>the</strong>r regulatory support and guidance,comprehensive budget development and contract negotiation, recruitment support services(including a centralized research participant database), expert study coordination, dedicatedresearch space and quality improvement initiatives. CCS services facilitate regulatory complianceand operational best practices to optimally support <strong>the</strong> clinical research endeavor.Center <strong>for</strong> Applied <strong>Research</strong> Sciences<strong>The</strong> Center <strong>for</strong> Applied <strong>Research</strong> Sciences (CARS), established in September 2007 as a corewithin <strong>the</strong> WU Institute <strong>of</strong> Clinical & Translational Sciences, represents three units (<strong>the</strong> ClinicalTrials Unit, <strong>the</strong> Clinical <strong>Research</strong> Unit and <strong>the</strong> Pediatric Clinical <strong>Research</strong> Unit) at <strong>the</strong> School <strong>of</strong>Medicine which support and conduct clinical studies. <strong>The</strong> establishment <strong>of</strong> CARS improvesaccess to specialized clinical research units that contain state-<strong>of</strong>-<strong>the</strong>-art resources and wherestudies can be per<strong>for</strong>med safely, ethically and efficiently across a spectrum <strong>of</strong> study populations,research designs and physical sites.<strong>The</strong> Clinical Trials Unit (CTU) is located on <strong>the</strong> 11 th floor <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Center <strong>for</strong> Advanced Medicine.<strong>The</strong> unit is an outpatient research unit that <strong>of</strong>fers dedicated research space, equipment, andnursing support <strong>for</strong> a wide range <strong>of</strong> clinical studies, particularly multi-center clinical trials. <strong>The</strong>CTU generally supports studies that require less sophisticated or intensive measurements andprocedures than those conducted in <strong>the</strong> Clinical <strong>Research</strong> Unit.<strong>The</strong> Clinical <strong>Research</strong> Unit (CRU) is located on <strong>the</strong> 4 th and 5 th floors <strong>of</strong> Barnard Hospital. <strong>The</strong>CRU operates as an in-patient and out-patient clinical research unit <strong>for</strong> studies that require more“intense” nursing services than <strong>the</strong> studies per<strong>for</strong>med in <strong>the</strong> Clinical Trials Unit or that requirean inpatient stay. In addition, this unit provides specialized nutritional and lifestyle interventionresearch services, coordinating with <strong>the</strong> principal investigator to facilitate a comprehensiveexperience <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir research subjects. Bionutritional or lifestyle intervention research servicesmay be obtained separately or as part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> visits.68


OVCR Annual ReportFiscal Year 2011Clinical Trials – Industry Sponsored<strong>The</strong> Pediatric Clinical <strong>Research</strong> Unit (PCRU) provides space, nursing and bionutritional support<strong>for</strong> clinical research projects conducted with children at Washington University. <strong>The</strong> unit is on<strong>the</strong> 11 th floor <strong>of</strong> St. Louis Children’s Hospital and has exam and interview room space, aprocedure area and a phlebotomy and sample processing area.Siteman Cancer Center<strong>The</strong> Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington UniversitySchool <strong>of</strong> Medicine in St. Louis is an international leader in cancer treatment, research,prevention, education and community outreach. It is <strong>the</strong> only cancer center in Missouri andwithin a 240-mile radius <strong>of</strong> St. Louis to hold <strong>the</strong> prestigious Comprehensive Cancer Centerdesignation <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> National Cancer Institute. <strong>The</strong> Siteman Cancer Center <strong>of</strong>fers manydifferent types <strong>of</strong> clinical trials. At any given time, Siteman has more than 250 clinical studies,including many collaborative ef<strong>for</strong>ts with o<strong>the</strong>r leading cancer centers throughout <strong>the</strong> country.<strong>The</strong>re are different types <strong>of</strong> clinical trials per<strong>for</strong>med at Siteman. <strong>The</strong>rapeutic trials involve sometype <strong>of</strong> treatment, such as a new drug, combination <strong>of</strong> new and/or existing drugs or a newcombination <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>rapies (<strong>for</strong> example, changing <strong>the</strong> schedule <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> chemo<strong>the</strong>rapy andradiation <strong>the</strong>rapy). <strong>The</strong>y are aimed at patients who have already been diagnosed with cancer.O<strong>the</strong>r trials are designed to prevent cancer in healthy people or control cancer in people whohave had curative treatment.Recruitment Enhancement Core (REC)In order to improve patient accrual in clinical studies, <strong>the</strong> Regulatory Support Center (RSC)within <strong>the</strong> Institute <strong>of</strong> Clinical & Translational Sciences supports a program called RecruitmentEnhancement Core (REC). <strong>The</strong> goal <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> REC is to assist investigators in recruiting potentialparticipants while ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations, including in<strong>for</strong>med consent,confidentiality, privacy <strong>of</strong> health in<strong>for</strong>mation, and <strong>the</strong> recruitment <strong>of</strong> women andunderrepresented minorities. <strong>The</strong> REC provides investigators with pre-qualified, pre-screenedand potential research participants. <strong>The</strong> service increases public awareness and knowledgeconcerning medical research needs and opportunities, and <strong>the</strong> increasing need <strong>for</strong> minorityparticipation. This education <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> community is done in a variety <strong>of</strong> ways, including radio andprint advertising as well as targeted health fair promotion. This paradigm shift has beenachieved by utilizing a pre-existing WU medical center resource called Volunteer <strong>for</strong> Health(VFH). <strong>The</strong> Washington University VFH recruitment program was established in September1998 and has assisted investigators in recruitment <strong>of</strong> study participants since that time. Thisprogram includes a database, called <strong>the</strong> <strong>Research</strong> Participant Registry, with pr<strong>of</strong>iles <strong>of</strong> potentialsubjects in a variety <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>rapeutic areas, as well as assistance with on-campus and/or mediaadvertising. Currently, <strong>the</strong> database contains more than 15,000 interested, consented volunteersand <strong>the</strong> REC is dedicated to developing and implementing strategic, recruitment plans thatimpact recruitment, university wide.69

Since 1987, <strong>the</strong> Washington University ACTU has been a highly productive participantin <strong>the</strong> AIDS Clinical Trials Group funded by <strong>the</strong> National Institute <strong>of</strong> Allergy and InfectiousDiseases. It conducts NIH, CDC and industry sponsored and Washington Universityinvestigator initiated clinical research trials <strong>of</strong> potential treatments <strong>for</strong> HIV and its co-infectionsand complications. Well established and active in <strong>the</strong> community, <strong>the</strong> ACTU provides access toresearch trials, community outreach and education, continuing education, and consultation <strong>for</strong>health care pr<strong>of</strong>essionals. Currently, clinical trials at <strong>the</strong> ACTU are studying <strong>the</strong> aging andmetabolic effects <strong>of</strong> long term HIV infection, treatments that may stop HIV’s destruction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>immune system; treatments that might help reduce HIV associated inflammatory, metabolic andneurological complications. Since 1988, more than 6000 individuals have participated in studies<strong>of</strong>fered at our site.Oriented <strong>Research</strong> Unit (Pediatrics)<strong>The</strong> Patient Oriented <strong>Research</strong> Unit (PORU) has dedicated space on <strong>the</strong> 10th floor <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>Northwest Tower and serves as an academic base <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> interaction and collaboration <strong>of</strong> clinicalinvestigators within <strong>the</strong> Department <strong>of</strong> Pediatrics. Administrative members <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> PORU assistmembers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Department with submission <strong>of</strong> human studies protocols to <strong>the</strong> Internal ReviewBoard (IRB) and with preparation <strong>of</strong> clinical research grants and contracts. PORU investigatorsare studying a variety <strong>of</strong> clinical topics, including diabetes, asthma, sickle cell disease,hypertension, cancer predisposition, organ transplantation, smoking cessation and many o<strong>the</strong>rs.Beyond physicians, participants in <strong>the</strong>se studies include psychologists, epidemiologists, andbiostatisticians.Industry Sponsored Clinical Trials – FY09-FY11<strong>The</strong> number <strong>of</strong> Industry Sponsored Clinical Trials per<strong>for</strong>med at Washington University hasremained stable over <strong>the</strong> last three fiscal years while <strong>the</strong> revenue received <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> trials has seena slight decrease.

OVCR Annual ReportFiscal Year 2011Sponsored Project ExpenseSponsored Project ExpenseExecutive SummaryThis section presents an overview <strong>of</strong> expenditure activity <strong>for</strong> sponsored research projects atWashington University during <strong>the</strong> fiscal year <strong>of</strong> 2011 (FY11). <strong>The</strong> expense dollars reported are<strong>for</strong> all transactions that occur on or between July 1, 2010 and June 30, 2011.Data Sources<strong>The</strong> data presented in this report was obtained <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> Washington University’s FinancialIn<strong>for</strong>mation System (FIS) and it reflects <strong>the</strong> expenditure activity incurred during <strong>the</strong>per<strong>for</strong>mance <strong>of</strong> sponsored projects. Expenses associated with projects supported by sales andservice agreements and clinical trials are excluded <strong>from</strong> this report.Expenditure Activity<strong>The</strong> University’s total research expenditures <strong>for</strong> FY11 amounted to $628 million, a 4% increaseover FY10. <strong>The</strong> University expended $61.6 million dollars under grants funded via <strong>the</strong>American Recovery and Reinvestment Act <strong>of</strong> 2009 (ARRA). <strong>The</strong> Total ARRA expendituresincreased 38%, or approximately $17 million <strong>from</strong> <strong>the</strong> prior year. <strong>The</strong> University also saw amodest increase in funding <strong>from</strong> private granting agencies. <strong>The</strong> NIH continues to provide <strong>the</strong>single largest funding stream, thus <strong>the</strong> costs <strong>for</strong> those projects represented 75% <strong>of</strong> totalexpenditures during <strong>the</strong> fiscal year. In addition to <strong>the</strong> NIH, <strong>the</strong> University also saw a modestincrease in expenses <strong>from</strong> projects funded by private sources.<strong>The</strong> University continues to maintain a strong position in sponsored research during FY11.Detailed schedules regarding this activity have been compiled this data in several <strong>for</strong>mats, seeTables 1 – 12. Noted below are definitions and descriptions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> key expenditure categories.Sponsor / Sponsor TypeFederal Direct Agreements Expenditures incurred under sponsored agreements awarded by aFederal agency directly to <strong>the</strong> University.• DHHS - Department <strong>of</strong> Health and Human Services(Agencies o<strong>the</strong>r than HRSA and NIH)• DOD - Department <strong>of</strong> Defense (Includes Air Force, Army,Navy, DARPA, and ARPA)• DOE - Department <strong>of</strong> Energy• EPA - Environmental Protection Agency• HRSA - Health Resources and Services Administration (Adivision <strong>of</strong> DHHS)75
