OVCR Annual ReportFiscal Year 2011Sponsored Research FundingPrivate FundingPrivate funding received from companies and organizations fall into two main categories:Industry and Non-Profit. In FY11 this category included federal ARRA funding passedthrough to the University by non-federal entities. As in FY10, Private funding accounted forapproximately 20% of total University funding.Industry typically includes commercial (for-profit) entities such as Ameren, Arch Coal,Peabody Energy, Pfizer, and Monsanto.Non-Profit includes foundations and trusts, such as charitable organizations established byfamily foundations or employees of a company, and voluntary health-specific or diseasespecificagencies such as the American Heart Association or the American Cancer Society.Other non-profit entities may include hospitals, individuals, institutes, and organizations suchas The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, andNFL Charities.Figure 4 illustrates how the two main components of private funding – industry and nonprofit– compare to each other in dollars. The University experienced a sizable decrease(15.4%) in total private funding from FY10 to FY11. Although both industry and non-profitfunding decreased from the prior year (24% and 13.2% respectively), it should be noted thatfunding in FY10 benefited uniquely from two large, one-time receipts: $12M from industryand $20M from a non-profit entity. Even without similar instances in FY11, the total privatedollars were strong enough to represent an 11.3% increase over two years from FY09.160140120Dollars ($M)10080604020061777087931121211461051241617192519FY07 FY08 FY09 FY10 FY11Industry Non-Profit Total PrivateFigure 4Private Funding – FY07 to FY11(000s)15
OVCR Annual ReportFiscal Year 2011Sponsored Research FundingFunding by SchoolResearch is a university-wide endeavor at WU. As collaborative and interdisciplinary researchincreases, a single prime award may fund projects at multiple Schools. The numbers for each Schoolin the following table and figures most likely include dollars allocated to them by other Schools.Although much of the decrease in federal dollars is due to the “downhill” activity of the ARRAstimulus program, decreases in any fiscal year numbers can be attributed to the expiration of a largegrant or contract, the timing of a sizable award near fiscal year end, or continuing work on a multiyeargrant or contract for which the funding was awarded up front but for which research continues.The following table and figures show a five-year history of funding to the four most researchintensiveSchools. “Administration & Other” in Table 2A includes central fiscal units (CFUs),Schools not listed here, and some Centers.
