Sponsored Research Executive Summary This report presents an overview of external funding for sponsored projects at Washington University during the fiscal year of 2005 (FY05). The awards reported are those with start dates on or between July 1, 2004 and June 30, 2005 and the associated funds represent new money only. Beginning in 2005, business rules for reporting were changed to avoid including dollars approved by sponsors to be carried over from the previous award period. For a full explanation, please refer to Appendix 1. Five year trends tables have been adjusted accordingly. Federal Agency Funding Down Slightly Funding for Washington University’s sponsored programs totaled $516.7 million in FY 05, an increase of 1.3% over FY 04. Federal award dollars decreased by 1 % or about $4.5 M during FY05. Only two schools increased federal obligations for research during FY05, the School of Engineering and the School of Social Work (Center for Mental Health Development and Electrical Engineering). Direct dollars from numerous federal agencies dove by an average of 34% over FY04, with only the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) standing out, awarding a million dollars more in FY05. Regardless of difficult times in Washington, federal agency support continues to be the University’s leading source of award dollars, constituting 84% of total sponsored funding this year. Increase in Non—Profit Sponsor Support A significant rise in funding from private, non-profit sources cushioned the impact of the federal decreases on the overall total of Washington University dollars for research. Private non-profit dollars increased by 26%, almost $11M, during FY05. Approximately 60% of those funds were awarded to the School of Medicine, perhaps the largest increases in support coming from the American Cancer Society and the Barnes-Jewish Foundation. A key award contributing to Danforth Campus initiatives was Monsanto’s support for Science on the Move, with the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and the Ford Foundation also making a significant impact in the private sponsor column. Key Federal Research Sponsors NIH awarded $399.6M, up about 2% in dollars over the previous fiscal year. This amount represents 77% of WU’s total sponsored project funding and 92% of its federal dollars. NSF remains the number two sponsor of University research with $15.2 million, though dollars decreased 38% from last year. NASA, on a happier note, increased support of WU researchers by 24% to $6M direct dollars and another $1.7 million through subawards. Tables 6 and 6a illustrate the rankings of the different sponsoring agencies by dollar volume. Washington University’s National Ranking NSF’s most recent nationwide comparison of universities with federal research support reflects Fiscal Year 2003. Using those numbers from the past, Washington University ranked 9th in receiving federal research funding, fourth when compared only to other private universities. In addition, according to the website of the National Institutes of Health, the School of Medicine ranks 4th out of all medical schools in the United States in the amount of funding it received from the NIH for federal FY04. (Table 14)

Funding History The following graphs illustrate Washington University’s funding history over the past five years. Figure 1 illustrates the total dollars summarized in table 1 received each year, sorted by three broad sponsor types: 1) federal, 2) state, local and international governments, and 3) private sector, which includes industry and nonprofit sponsors. Figures 2-5 address the same sponsor data in greater detail. Finally, 5-year trends are compared in figures 6-9 and table 2 among the four research-intensive units of the university: the School of Arts and Sciences, the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the School of Medicine, and the George Warren Brown School of Social work.

Award Summary by Sponsor Type Washington University receives a considerable amount of research funding from other institutions and corporations, commonly referred to as “sub-awards”. The following table shows the original source of the award dollars, including sub-award dollars, rather than attributing the funds to the awarding entity. The effect increases the Federal total and decreases the Private and State totals. Table 6a Award Dollars by Sponsor and Direct/Sub Award Category FY05 and FY04† (000s) FY05 Category FEDERAL AGENCIES

Technology Management Executive Summary During Fiscal Year 2005, the Office of Technology Management received 124 new invention disclosures. Of these disclosures, 71% originated in the School of Medicine, 6% from the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and the remainder from the School of Arts & Sciences and the School of Social Work. The Office handled 22 % more disclosures than the prior year. The University filed 97 new United States patent applications. The Patent Office issued 20 patents on behalf of the University. Foreign offices issued 34 patents on behalf of the University. The University generated $11.7M in total technology transfer revenue. This amount exceeds the previous fiscal year by 22%. The University entered into a total of 43 revenue generating license agreements during the year, down 23% from the previous year. Of the new license agreements, 74% were non-exclusive. Open source software licenses—most involving gene sequencing and related topics—numbered 2,074. Licensing related distributions to individual inventors, Washington University Schools and third parties totaled $9.3M. Legal expenses totaled $1.9M, of which $0.9M was reimbursed by licensees. Technology transfer revenues generated by each School were as follows: School of Medicine $10.2M School of Engineering and Applied Sciences $1.0M School of Arts and Sciences $0.4M School of Social Work $0.002M OTM continues its community involvement through such organizations as RCGA, BioGenerator, Danforth Plant Sciences Center Alliance, Coalition for Plant and Life Sciences, Missouri Venture Forum, Midwest Research Universities Network and the Research Alliance of Missouri. Involvement with these various organizations extends to local, state and regional levels. In its relationships with these organizations, OTM works to build the economy and to develop channels for commercializing Washington University technologies. OTM staff members work continuously with the Business School’s entrepreneurship program and the larger Kaufmann Foundation entrepreneurship undertaking. The work by the students contributes to the assessment of ideas within a commercial context—whether in a start-up situation or the licensing of ideas to large, established companies. Most of the students involved have—or are pursuing—advanced technical degrees in the life sciences, chemistry, math, physics or computer sciences. The Bear Cub Fund has matured into a well-recognized arm of the University’s commitment to technology development and community growth. During this fiscal period at least two local startup companies have benefited from Bear Cub proof of concept work. The fund maintains its pace of allotting approximately $250,000 per year to about five award winners in amounts ranging from $20,000 to $50,000. The fund has proved useful in enabling investigators to conduct proof of concept experiments in areas where commercial promise exists. During the fiscal year, 21 projects were reviewed—16 from the Medical School and 5 from Engineering. Of these, 8 projects were awarded funding, with total outlays amounting to $275,000. The awardees are listed below. Six awardees are from the School of Medicine and two are from the School of Engineering. OTM received no applications from the School of Arts and Sciences or School of Social Work.

David Zar Computer Science and Engineering Development of a prototype crystal controlled clock that controls very high speed computing in large integrated circuits. This technique blends clockless with clocked subsystems to prevent synchronizer failure. Arthur Neufeld Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, Molecular Biology and Pharmacology Studies to support the confirmation of the epidermal growth factor receptor kinase as a new therapeutic target to treat glaucoma and to prevent nitric oxide toxicity of the retinal ganglion cells. Thomas Baranski and Ross Cagan Internal Medicine, Molecular Biology and Pharmacology Development and use of a high throughput developmental screen to select and identify small molecule drug candidates which block the sensitivity to high glucose in an intact organism. The screen identifies both vascular and neuroendocrine targets that participate. John Heuser Cell Biology Completion of a prototype “freezing machine” which allows one to fix tissues for ultra structural studies that retain all of their insitu subcellular detail. The technology, which is of great interest to electron microscopy machine manufacturers, exploits freezing samples under very high pressure to prevent ice crystal damage. Eric Leuthardt, Dennis Rivet and Guy Genin Mechanical Engineering, Neurosurgery and Radiology Completion of a prototype “HaLOW” device which tethers the head of spinal cord injury patients to a base mounted like a back pack on the individual. This replaces the clam shell devices which have not been improved for 40 years and affords the patient better support and quality of life. This invention came out of the Biomedical Engineering senior design course. Richard Todd Department of Psychiatry Funds will be used to complete a genetic correlation screen to prove the correlation between genetic polymorphisms and the tendency to use nicotine (smoking). If confirmed, this increases the size of genetic screening for nicotine use to about 50% of the world population. Jaime Landman Department of Urology and Minimally Invasive Surgery The funds are being used to develop a “bloodless” scalpel, or parenchymal transecting device, for expanding minimally invasive surgical procedures. The bipolar electrodes use an external controller to cauterize tissue without heat that expands the procedures available for laparoscopic surgery.

Technology Management Executive Summary Technology Highlights for Fiscal Year 2005 Profound effect of microbiota on fat storage and metabolism Studies using combinations of gnotobiotic normal and genetically modified mice reveal that the gut microbiota exerts a profound effect on fat storage and metabolism. This control of metabolism appears to work through a pathway that involves microbial regulation of a circulating lipoprotein lipase inhibitor. Jeffrey Gordon, Fredrick Backhed, Justin Sonnenburg, John Rawls, and Lora Hooper. Molecular Biology & Pharmacology. Novel uses of perfluorocarbon nanoparticles Nanoparticles have been developed which offer a variety of novel approaches to the detection and treatment of vascular disease and other disorders. These perfluorocarbon nanoparticles have unique properties that make them highly sensitive for imaging disease or following the course of therapy. Novel uses of both targeted and nontargeted particles have been described. Sam Wickline and Greg Lanza. Internal Medicine. Method for Noninvasive Electrocardiographic Imaging Over 7 million people worldwide die annually from rhythm disorders of the heart and many more are disabled. Despite this alarming statistics, there is no noninvasive imaging modality (similar to CT or MRI) for cardiac arrhythmias to identify patients at risk of sudden death, or to provide specific diagnoses and guide therapeutic intervention. Electrocardiographic Imaging (ECGI) is such a novel imaging modality. The present invention improves this approach so that it can be used on complex geometries (e.g. the atria; diseased ventricles), increases its accuracy, and accelerates its application so that it can be used interactively during a medical episode or intervention (an extremely important property for clinical application). The new technology is the novel application of a mathematical method and computer algorithm for a new noninvasive imaging modality for diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Yoram Rudy, Yong Wang. Biomedical Engineering. Electrode Array Device for array chip stability This is a process for performing an isolated Pd (O) catalyzed reaction electrochemically on an electrode array device. This chemical process can be used for building chipbased molecular libraries and is the first example of a transition metal catalyst being used at selected electrodes on an addressable semi-conducting chip. The invention shows that the use of a confining agent to the solution above the chip can keep the catalyst from migrating to undesired sites on the chip.

Technology Management Executive Summary
Process for performing an isolated Pd (II)-mediated oxidation reaction This invention allows for the spatial isolation of Pd (II) oxidant to pre-selected sites on a semi-conducting chip. It is the first example of a transition metal oxidation, particularly Pd (II), being conducted at selected electrodes on the addressable semi-conducting chips. The invention shows that the use of a reductant in the solution over the chip (namely ethyl vinyl ether) serves as an effective means for confining the Pd (II) generated on the chip to selected electrodes. Kevin Moeller, Eden Tesfu, Karl Maurer, Steve Ragsdale. Chemistry Department. Methanobrevibacter smithi, a mesophilic methanogenic Archeon isolated from the human intestine Obesity is a worldwide health problem with an estimated 500 million adults being over weight and 250 million classified as obese. This invention relates to the use of mesophilic methanogenic archaea to modulate nutrient harvesting in the gut of individuals. In particular, the invention provides methods that use archaea to modulate the nutrient harvesting functions of the microbiota in a subject’s gastrointestinal tract. Jeffrey Gordon, Samuel Sparrow. Molecular Biology and Pharmacology. D.O.C.S. (Dobbs clubfoot orthotic system) Clubfoot is one of the most common serious congenital deformities of the musculoskeletal system. Once the deformity is corrected, a brace is required to keep the deformity from recurring. This brace must be worn for up to 4 years. Compliance with foot abduction bracing is essential to prevent relapse of the clubfoot deformity. If the brace is not worn, recurrence is inevitable and the child is faced with major reconstructive foot surgery to correct the clubfoot. It was shown that those children that have the major surgery suffer stiffness, pain, and arthritis in early adulthood. It was also shown that the main reason for noncompliance with bracing is the formation of blisters on the back of heels caused by rubbing in the traditional brace. This has led to the improved design of D.O.C.S. - a brace that would fit the children better and therefore prevent blister formation. Matthew Dobbs. Orthopaedic Surgery. Low-voltage defibrillation by unpinning anatomical reentry During cardiac arrhythmias determining the precise moment when a defibrillation shock will be most effective, the voltage required for the defibrillation can be much lower – estimated to be about 90% lower – than is presently used. Since higher defibrillation voltages can have undesirable side effects, a lower, more precise, the defibrillation voltage should be better for the patient. This low-voltage defibrillation system is now being tested in large-animal model studies. Igor Efimov, Vladimir Nikolski, Alain Pumir, Valentin Krinski. Biomedical Engineering. Upflow Microbial Fuel Cell (UMFC) The microbial fuel cells currently in wide use for waste water treatment are net energy consumers. The UMFC is a new design that in small scale lab models has proven to be a net energy producer. A Bear Cub grant has been awarded to Dr Angenent to develop a large scale model. Largus Angenent, Zhen He. Chemical Engineering.

Technology Management Executive Summary
Wrong Site Procedure Prevention Method Current procedures in most hospitals are for the surgeon, the patient and the operating room nurse to meet immediately prior to surgery to agree on the site of surgery. For many reasons, but primarily time pressures, these procedures are sometimes not followed, and surgery to the wrong side of body part occasionally ensues. The system developed at WUSTL requires a positive action to turn off an inexpensive alarm system prior to surgery. If not turned off, an alarm sounds as the patient enters the operating room. The system has been licensed to CheckSite Medical Systems, a startup company based in St Louis, and is now in clinical trials in local hospitals. Richard Chole. Otolaryngology. Osteogenic Screw System Using Variable Anodized Screws Screws have long been used to hold bones together while healing. This new design allows a low voltage current to be passed through the screw and delivered to specific locations in the bone. This current from an external power source drastically speeds up the bone regeneration and healing process. The process is being tested in small mammals for use in spinal surgery. Eric Leuthardt, Daniel Moran. Neurosurgery, Biomedical Engineering. Biochemical Diagnosis of Sleep Deprivation A biological marker for quantitating sleep deprivation in humans has been identified. This marker could eventually be used in clinical labs to help treat sleep conditions and abnormalities or as a measure of efficacy for sleep therapeutics. The marker might even be used for the consumer market to test sleep deprivation in drivers and long-shift workers. Paul Shaw. Anatomy & Neurobiology. In vitro-reconstituted mammalian NAD biosynthesis system This in vitro assay system can be used to screen therapeutic candidates for use in treating diabetes. It includes pathway information, cell assay systems and mouse models. In addition, several potential therapeutic molecules have been identified using this assay and are currently being examined in further studies. Shin-ichiro Imai, Javier Revollo, Andrew Grimm. Molecular Biology & Pharmacology. Plaque purified MNV-1 strains A novel virus has been discovered that appears to be endemic in mouse colonies. Several institutions are already using assays to detect the presence of the virus in barrier mouse colonies. In some types of knock-out mice the virus is correlated with high morbidity and possibly mortality. Herbert Virgin IV. Pathology & Immunology. Monoclonal and polyclonal antibody against MNV-1 capsid Biological reagents have been generated which are required for identifying mice exposed to the new norovirus discovered by Virgin. They are also useful in determining strain variants. Herbert Virgin IV. Pathology & Immunology.

Technology Management Executive Summary
Plasmid containing MNV-1 This plasmid can serve as a template and source of information for designing confirmatory PCR primers for detection of MNV in mouse tissues. The plasmid can also be used as a positive control. Herbert Virgin IV. Pathology & Immunology. Treatment of cancer with stimulators of apoptosis Naturally occurring compounds have demonstrated to exhibit significant apoptotic effects on cancer cells in culture and in mouse models. These molecules might be used as an effective single or combination therapeutic in certain cancer types. Shrikant Anant, Arun Balakrishnan. Internal Medicine. Novel function of the mammalian NAD-dependent protein deacetylase A new therapeutic target and compound that may promote insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. Shin-ichiro Imai, Marshall Permutt, Kathryn Moynihan. Molecular Biology & Pharmacology, Endocrinology Diabetes & Metabolism Division Cytoplasmic Factor that Protects Injured Neurons This technology describes a molecule, or a class of molecules, that can be used to protect neurons that have suffered injury. Studies show that increasing the NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) concentration by overexpression of Nmnat1 (nicotinamide nucleotide adenylyltransferase), the enzyme that converts nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) to NAD, in neurons can protect against axonal degeneration secondary to axotomy or toxic injury. Jeffrey Milbrandt. Pathology & Immunology. Use of rapamycic and rapamycin analogs for the treatment of neurofibromatosis 1-associated tumors Currently, no effective biologically-active therapies exist for treating NF1 tumors. Rapamycin, rapamycin analogs and other novel compounds have been found to be effective in treating NF1 tumors in mice. These compounds act on the mTOR pathway and restore normal growth in NF1 deficient cells. David Gutmann, Jason Weber. Neurology, Internal Medicine. Inhibition of DKK1 binding to Wnt signaling receptors LRP5 and LRP6 peptides This technology may be a novel treatment for osteoporosis and alter bone mass diseases. A certain protein and shortened variations have demonstrated promising results in cell culture. Guojun Bu, Yonghe Li. Pediatrics Department, Internal Medicine Treatment of cancers with purified phytochemicals from the plant Phyllanthus amarus. Studies have revealed that a novel cancer treatment method and protection against reoccurrence can be achieved with selected natural molecules. Shrikant Anant, Sripathi Sureban, Brian Dieckgraefe.

US Patent by School US Patent Applications
OTM filed a total of 97 U.S. provisional and non-provisional patent applications. Patent applications are filed on inventions that have potential commercial value as well as social value. Frequently, the first step is to file for a provisional patent. This filing is not actually examined by the Patent Office, but rather serves to establish a filing date and “patent pending” status for a year. Provisional filings, because of their relative ease and speed, are particularly useful for managing the sometimes conflicting demands between publication and commercialization. OTM will later file for a non-provisional patent that will be examined by the patent office before it is granted. Patent protection strengthens the University’s position with respect to potential licensees, particularly in a field such as pharmaceuticals where the investment to bring a product to market can be large. OTM will seek foreign patents if warranted. Table 17

Licenses by School Patented and unpatented inventions are transferred to industry through a variety of licensing arrangements. The rights to a license are defined by the allowed field of use and by the exclusivity of the license. Payment terms are also highly varied including one or a combination of license fees due on signing, maintenance fees, milestone payment and earned royalties on sales. Defined here are major categories used in this report. Exclusive: A fee-and royalty-bearing exclusive license grants a license the sole right to commercialize a technology (may include sublicensing rights). Non-Exclusive: • Fee-and royalty-bearing license: grants of rights to commercialize the technology; may be granted to multiple licenses, • Paid-up license: a non-exclusive license granted in return for a one-time, up-front license fee without subsequent fees or royalties, • No-fee license: rights are granted to a third-party (usually another nonprofit educational institution) to use a technology (frequently computer software) that is generally licensed to others for a fee. License Modifications: • Amendment: an agreement modifying the terms of an existing license. • Assignment: a reassignment of rights caused by a change in ownership of the license through merger or acquisition.
The majority of licenses granted by the University are to existing commercial companies located in the United States, with a smaller number to foreign entities. The University is also beginning to focus more on partnerships with Missouri and St. Louis companies and is actively supporting and encouraging the creation of new business ventures. Licensing technology to start-up companies can provide the best mode of commercialization for early-state platform technologies. Figure 13 140

License Revenue Under most licenses, OTM receives gross licensing income in the form of license fees, maintenance fees, milestone payments, and earned royalties against product sales. In addition, the University collects patent expense reimbursement from some licensees, particularly when the license is exclusive. Legal expenses represent the amounts paid out to external law firms engaged in the preparation and prosecution of patents. Other expenses may include specific out-ofpocket costs incurred as part of technology licensing (e.g. consulting fees, marketing fees) or non-patent legal costs.

Material Transfer Agreements by Departments – FY 05 When transferring proprietary materials in and out of the University to support research activities, the University requires execution of material transfer agreements (MTA). Incoming MTAs are no-fee agreements used when the material is received from another non-profit institution or from a commercial third party. Many of these materials are highly valuable research tools deemed essential to our research activities. Outgoing MTAs are used to distribute our materials (patented and unpatented) without charge to other non-profit institutions so that researchers can use them in their research activities. The nature of materials agreements involving transfer to for-profit companies depends on whether the use of the material will be restricted to internal research purposes. Table 28 677

Sponsored Research Research Expense Expense Executive Executive Summary Summary Sponsored This report presents an overview of expenditure activity for sponsored research projects at Washington University during the fiscal year of 2005 (FY05). The expense dollars reported are for all transactions that occur on or between July 1, 2004 and June 30, 2005. Data Sources The data presented in this report was obtained from the Washington University’s Financial Information System (FIS) and it reflects the expenditure activity incurred during the performance of sponsored projects. Excluded from these figures are expenses associated with projects supported by gifts, sales and service agreements and clinical trials. Additionally, the figures in this report include expenses related to training and the U.S. Department of Education’s College Work-Study Program; however, theses activities represent only a very small fraction of total expenditures. Expenditure Activity The University’s total research expenditures for FY05 amounted to $504 million, an increase of 7% over FY04. This percentage increase is driven primarily from additional dollars ($28.5 million) from the National Institutes for Health (NIH). The NIH continues to provide the single largest funding stream, thus the costs for those projects represent 80% of total expenditures during the fiscal year. In addition to the NIH, several large projects funded by the National Science Foundation contributed to the rise in the expenditure level ($2.5 million). The University maintained a strong position in sponsored research during FY05. Detailed schedules regarding this activity have been compiled this data in several formats, see Tables 1 – 12. Noted below are definitions and descriptions of the key expenditure categories.
Sponsor / Sponsor Type Federal Direct Agreements Expenditures incurred under sponsored agreements awarded by a Federal agency directly to the University.
DHHS - Department of Health and Human Services (Agencies other than HRSA and NIH)
DOD - Department of Defense (Includes Air Force, Army, Navy, DARPA, and ARPA)
DOE - Department of Energy
EPA - Environmental Protection Agency
HRSA - Health Resources and Services Administration (A division of DHHS)

Federal Subagreements
Expenditures incurred under a subagreement from another entity (usually another university) that has received an award directly from a Federal agency. The University is considered a subrecipient of federal funds.
Total Federal
Expenditures incurred under direct agreements with Federal agencies and subagreements with other entities (that have received a direct award from a Federal agency). The figure(s) is the total of the Federal and Federal Subagreements categories noted above.
Other Government
Expenditures incurred under sponsored agreements with other city, county, state and international government agencies.
Private Sources
Expenditures incurred under sponsored agreements from industry, foundations and trusts, voluntary health agencies and other entities.
Industry – Typically commercial (for-profit) entities that fund hardware, software, fabrication and clinical device projects. Entities would include companies such as Monsanto, Lockheed Martin and Hoffman La Rouche. Foundations & Trusts – Sponsored agreements from non-profit entities such as; the James S. McDonnell Foundation, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. Voluntary Health - Sponsored agreements from nonprofit health/disease specific agencies such as; American Heart Association, American Cancer Society and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Other – Sponsored agreements and subagreements (excluding federal pass-thru funding) from other non-

Cost Category Direct Costs
Expenditures incurred that can be specifically identified to a particular sponsored agreement/project. Costs of this nature would include those such as; faculty & staff salaries (and applicable fringe benefits), consultants, consumable supplies, travel, subagreements and equipment. Direct costs are booked to the general ledger on a daily basis.
F&A Costs
Abbreviated term for Facilities and Administrative (F&A) Costs (also known as indirect/overhead costs). F&A costs are defined as expenditures incurred for common or joint objectives which cannot be specifically identified with a particular agreement/project.
43
Sponsored Research Research Expense Expense Executive Executive Summary Summary Sponsored Costs of this nature would include: utilities and building services, building and equipment depreciation, university/school/ department administration, research administration and the library. The University has negotiated F&A rates with our cognizant federal agency (the Department of Health and Human Services). The F&A costs are posted to the general ledger monthly, based upon the project’s direct or modified direct (excludes capital equipment, subcontract expenses > $25,000, patient care costs, tuition, and off-campus rent) costs and the applicable F&A rate. Cost Sharing
Defined as costs incurred under a specific cost objective which are not supported by the sponsoring agency. Cost sharing can be described as the dollar amount the University provides to support a sponsored project. The University will commit resources to support a project under the following conditions: Mandatory Cost Sharing: Certain sponsoring agencies, and programs within those agencies, may require the University to contribute resources towards the project as a condition of the award. Typically, the agency will state in the sponsored agreement the minimum dollar amount or percentage of project costs that the University must contribute as cost sharing. Voluntary Cost Sharing: The University will voluntarily pledge resources towards the project. The University monitors and maintains cost sharing expenditures by establishing separate accounts/funds in the general ledger. For each sponsored project, a specific cost sharing account will be established based upon the terms and conditions of the award. See Table 11 for a summary of the University’s cost sharing contributions.
Facilities and Administrative (F&A) Rates Sponsored projects awarded to the University provide funding for direct and F&A costs (see above). A percentage rate is applied to the direct costs in order to determine the F&A funding/expenses for the project. The Federal F&A rate for on-campus research can change at the start of a fiscal year, based upon our current rate agreement. Federal F&A rates are applied based on the competitive start date of the project. Non-federal sponsors will also provide funding for F&A costs, but the rates can vary based upon the internal policies of the sponsor. Noted below is a brief description of the major F&A rates.

Sponsored Projects Accounting The mission of Sponsored Projects Accounting (SPA) is to provide consistent and high quality financial stewardship, policy interpretation and compliance assurance to the University's research community and the sponsoring agencies. Members of the department strive to perform accurate and timely transaction approvals, financial analysis and reporting of costs incurred for sponsored projects. We monitor and maintain the accounting structure involved with revenue, expense and receivable transactions for sponsored projects so that these amounts are properly stated in the University's financial statements. In conjunction with Grants and Contracts and the Research Office, SPA develops a coordinated and consistent approach on institutional issues involving sponsored projects. The office of Sponsored Projects Accounting reports to Barbara Feiner, Vice Chancellor for Finance and Chief Financial Officer. This report and other data is available of on the SPA website, see http://www.spa.wustl.edu/.

Industry Sponsored Clinical Trials Fiscal Years 2005 - 2003 Industry Sponsored Clinical Trials performed at Washington University have gone through a period of steady growth over the last three fiscal years. Over that period, the numbers of clinical trials performed at the institution have increased 9% from 1,191 trials in fiscal year 2003 to 1,294 trials in fiscal year 2005. During that same time, the cash receipts from those trials have increased by 20% from $17.8 million in 2003 to $21.4 million in 2005. For a break-down of clinical trials by department of the School of Medicine please refer to Figure 1. Of the total trials performed at the School of Medicine in 2005, 628 out of 1,294 or 48% were performed in the Department of Internal Medicine. In dollar terms this represents 58% of the total clinical trial dollars for FY 2005. For a break-down of clinical trials by Division of the School of Medicine’s Department of Internal Medicine, please refer to Figure 2. Also, during the period FY 2003 to 2005 the number of new clinical trial contracts has increased by 30% as is shown in Figure 3. The industry sponsored trials highlighted in this report are performed by numerous faculty throughout the School of Medicine. There are also a number of Centers dedicated to supporting clinical trials across the school of Medicine. These Centers have been highlighted below:
The Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis is an international leader in patient care, cancer research, prevention, education and community outreach and a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. The Siteman Cancer Center offers many different types of clinical trials. At any given time, Siteman has more than 350 trials open. There are different types of clinical trials performed at Siteman. Therapeutic trials involve some type of treatment, such as a new drug, combination of new and/or existing drugs or a new combination of therapies (for example, changing the schedule of the chemotherapy and radiation therapy). They are aimed at patients who have already been diagnosed with cancer. Other trials are designed to prevent cancer in healthy people or control cancer in people who have had curative treatment.
The Center for Clinical Studies (CCS), at Washington University Medical School in St. Louis-MO, supports the effective, efficient, and reliable evaluation of new pharmaceuticals and medical devices in collaboration with sponsoring organizations (industry and/or government). CCS
61
Industry Sponsored Clinical Trials
supports Wash U. faculty with industry contract negotiation and clinical trial referrals, a full spectrum of services for planning and conducting clinical trials, and programs to streamline relevant Medical Center-wide processes. CCS also provides sponsoring organizations with access to top-quality investigators, study coordinators, and participants for the conduct of clinical trials and other ancillary resources. CCS is the department responsible for negotiating all clinical trial contracts performed at Washington University, Barnes-Jewish Hospital and St. Louis Children’s Hospital. The department has a staff of 11 nurse/coordinators that can be utilized to complete clinical trials. CCS also provides assistance to create clinical trial budgets, opens clinical trial accounts, deposits funds from industry sponsors, and provides other forms administrative support. In addition, CCS has 5,400 square feet of outpatient research space on the 11th floor of the Center for Advanced Medicine Building that can be utilized to conduct clinical trials. This fully staffed and dedicated clinical trial space has six patient exam rooms, phlebotomy room, consultation room, 2 long-term lounges for extended visits, portable ECG machine, IV infusion pumps, laboratory specimen processing and packaging area. Currently CCS provides clinical trial support services for 1 out of 6 clinical trials performed at the institution.
In order to improve patient accrual in clinical trials, CCS has instituted a program called Volunteer for HealthTM (VFH). This innovative program seeks to develop a patient registry of potential study candidates and improve recruitment efficiency. Currently, the registry of volunteers exceeds 21,000 individuals. Working with the Washington University Institutional Review Board, VFH also assists Wash U. faculty place advertisements seeking clinical trial volunteers. As of FY 2005 VHF placed more than 900 advertisements in all forms of media (radio, newspaper, posters & flyers, etc.).
The Washington University AIDS Clinical Trials Unit (ACTU) was established in 1987 to conduct clinical research and participate in clinical trials for persons with HIV-associated disease. Since its inception, 3,000 HIV-infected persons have been seen at the unit and more than 1,300 have been enrolled in clinical trials of new agents for primary HIV infection or for its associated opportunistic infections. Many patients have volunteered to participate in other clinical research protocols at this unit.
Studies of anti-retroviral agents and immunomodulators have been conducted in patients with asymptomatic HIV disease, symptomatic infection and AIDS. In addition, the unit has participated in collaborative trials investigating the treatment and prevention of most
62
Industry Sponsored Clinical Trials
of the opportunistic infections associated with AIDS. Unit oncologists perform studies in AIDS-related malignancies. The ACTU has a neurology clinical core to participate in specific neurologic protocols and to perform more detailed neurologic sub-studies of patients actively enrolled in other ACTU protocols. In addition, we have recently established a metabolic clinical core to perform more detailed metabolic sub-studies of patients with HIV disease as these become a greater problem in infected individuals. The unit has two clinics: the main unit at the Washington University Medical Center and a second at St. Louis ConnectCare. The latter, located at the only municipally supported public clinic in St. Louis, was specifically developed to increase access to clinical trials for minorities, drug abusers and other individuals underrepresented in clinical research. We direct a substantial effort toward making the goals and successes of clinical research known to the community, especially health care workers. An immunology laboratory and a virology laboratory serve the ACTU. Since 1988, the Washington University ACTU has screened approximately 3,000 HIV-infected individuals for possible participation in clinical trials. As of December 1, 2000, 1,363 HIV-positive persons have participated in studies offered at our site.
Patient Oriented Research Unit (Pediatrics): The Patient Oriented Research Unit (PORU) has dedicated space on the 11th floor of the MPRB and serves as an academic base for the interaction and collaboration of clinical investigators within the Department of Pediatrics. Administrative members of the PORU assist members of the Department with submission of human studies protocols to the Internal Review Board (IRB) and with preparation of clinical research grants and contracts. PORU investigators are studying a variety of clinical topics, including diabetes, asthma, sickle cell disease, hypertension, cancer predisposition, organ transplantation, smoking cessation and many others. Beyond physicians, participants in these studies include psychologists, epidemiologists, and biostatisticians.

Appendix One
Changes in Business Rules and Historical Trend Data in Fiscal Year 2005 Report A recent analysis of the “new award” data provided in past years have actually contained totals for both new fiscal year dollars awarded and carried forward award money from the prior fiscal year. Essentially, this has resulted in a report of dollars that are actually ‘available award dollars’ rather than newly awarded money for each of the fiscal years. The difference is about $16M and primarily impacts the School of Medicine; particularly the Department of Genetics and the Genome Sequencing Center. The impact on the other schools is minimal. The FY05 Annual Report will reflect the following changes: 1) Modified business rules that include only ‘new money’ used to generate the award dollars 2) The 5-year history (FY01 - FY05), rather than the previously published ten year history, will present the modified historical trend data (Figure 1 and Table 1) 3) Modified tables 2-11 reflecting only ‘new money’ a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i.
