annual report Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research
FISCAL YEAR
January 1, 2008
Dear Colleagues, I am pleased to present the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research (OVCR) fiscal year 2007 Annual Report. Research is one of Washington University’s core missions, an extraordinary enterprise with global impact. The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research promotes and supports Washington University investigators in this mission as they seek funding sponsors, conduct world-class research, and share their research results through publication and commercialization for the use and benefit of the public. Mark S. Wrighton, Chancellor of Washington University, has said, “We believe we have a responsibility to meet national and global imperatives in energy, environment, security, health and economic prosperity.” Through innovative research, the University will contribute to the creation of new knowledge needed to achieve a bright and sustainable future and will foster collaborations regionally, nationally and internationally to bring about rapid progress.
Samuel L. Stanley, Jr., M.D., Vice Chancellor for Research
Support for sponsored research continues to be extremely competitive. Federal funding accounted for nearly 83% of the total award dollars to WU in FY 07 and remains the University’s largest source for external sponsored activities funding. The University’s main contributor to research funds, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has seen its obligations budget decline since 2004, and its funding to Washington University decreased by $8.9M (2.2%) in FY07. The total amount of research funding to Washington University in FY07 was $537.5 M, down 1.6% from the previous year. Though the dollar amount decreased in FY07, the numbers of awards actually increased. This is an indication that despite budget pressures at Federal Agencies, Washington University’s sponsored research programs continue to show significant success. But increasing the number of awards has required an extraordinary effort from our faculty, and they continue to work hard to continue their important research in this climate of Federal budget reductions. In one bright spot, funding from private sources to WU actually increased by 1.3% in FY 2007, and this represents one way to add to our research support during this challenging time.
Additional details regarding these trends are found in Appendix 2, “Trends in Federal Research Funding”, of this report. The Office of Technology Management at WU helps federally funded technologies reach the public. The technology transfer revenue has remained relatively constant since FY04. According to the most recent data, the University has over 150 NIH-funded inventions. Approximately half of these are licensed to private companies through exclusive or nonexclusive agreements. These license agreements have benefited society, as well as the University. New leadership in the Office of Technology Management provides exciting opportunities for Washington University. The industry sponsored clinical trials highlighted in this report are performed by faculty throughout the School of Medicine. There are also a number of Centers dedicated to supporting clinical trials across the School of Medicine. Clinical trials sponsored by industry have increased steadily over the last three years. Total research expenditures at Washington University increased 3% over FY06. These dollars are necessary to support research and scholarly activities. There is also a growing trend, by both federal and private funding agencies, toward the funding of interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary collaborative research. In many of the projects outlined in this report, researchers with complementary skills, and their own specific area of expertise, work together in collaborative multidisciplinary teams. The projects described in “Notable Achievements” in the Annual Report are exemplary examples of interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary research projects in which researchers with complementary skills work together collaboratively to solve problems. Additionally, all Federal research agencies, including NIH, are preparing policies and procedures to formally allow multiple Principal Investigators on individual research awards. The overarching goal is to maximize the potential of team science efforts, responsive to the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. Washington University is committed to conducting and administering sponsored research activities with the utmost integrity, the highest ethical standards and the fullest regulatory compliance. The report that follows summarizes the contributions that Washington University researchers are making in their fields of expertise to advance society and make the world a better place. Please contact my office if you have any questions or comments about this report.

Sponsored Research Executive Summary
This report presents an overview of external funding for sponsored projects at Washington University (WU) during the University’s fiscal year of 2007 (FY07). All references within Tables and Figures to ―Fiscal Year‖ are to Washington University’s fiscal year, which begins on July 1 and ends on June 30 of the following year. The awards reported within are those with start dates on or between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007, and the associated funds represent new money only (i.e., no carry-over funds from year to year for the same grant award are included). In some instances, there are references to an agency’s fiscal year (e.g., NIH-FY05), due to the fact that the fiscal years of agencies such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) do not coincide with that of Washington University’s. Federal Agency Funding During FY07, funding for Washington University’s sponsored programs totaled $537.5 million, a decrease of 1.6% from FY06. Federal award dollars decreased by 1.7% or about $7.9M during FY07. Regardless of difficult budget issues in Washington, federal agency support continues to be the University’s leading source of award dollars, constituting 83% of total sponsored funding to Washington University in FY07. Key Federal Research Sponsors The number one federal sponsor of University research is the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Its total award obligation of $390M to WU (2.2% less than the previous fiscal year) represents 72% of WU’s total sponsored project funding and 88% of its federal dollars. The NIH award counts for both the Medical School and the Danforth campus were up in FY07, but the dollars represented by those awards are less than in previous years. Medical School NIH award dollars were down by 3.4% in FY07 compared to the prior year, even with the large-scale genome grant contributing more dollars in FY07 ($44M) than in FY06 ($41M). Federal direct costs increased by about $1M (.34%) in FY07, but federal Facility and Administrative (F&A) costs decreased by $13.6M (11%). The F&A dollars were down primarily due to a lower F&A rate for the Genome Sequencing Center. Effective July 1, 2006, the F&A rate for these federal sponsored funds dropped from 53% (for FY06) to 25.8% (for FY07). The Large-Scale Genome Sequencing project (NIH) and the Sequencing the Maize Genome project (NSF) awards (FY07) were directly impacted by this decrease in F&A. The National Science Foundation (NSF) remains the number two federal sponsor of University research with $33.4M, a 10.8% increase (almost $3.3M) over FY06. Major awards contributing to the increase include approximately $13.4M to the Medical School for the Sequencing the Maize Genome project; a $1.5M award to the Education Department (Urban-Focused Science, Technology & Math Pedagogy Model); and $1.5M awarded to the Biology Department (The Evolutionary Genomics of Invasive Weedy Rice).

Sponsored Research Executive Summary
The largest percent increase from a federal agency was the 175.5% jump in Department of Education funding (an increase of about $2.6M). Approximately $2.9M was awarded to the Psychology Department for a project entitled ―Test Enhanced Learning in the Classroom.‖ Department of Labor funding to WU decreased by 36.2% ($1.2M) in FY07. The major contributing factor to that decrease was the expiration of a $1.7M grant. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) funding to WU decreased nearly $4M (45.4%) from FY06 ($8.7M) to FY07 ($4.7). A major factor contributing to the significant decrease in funding is NASA’s overall decrease in obligations to research institutions by 15%-20%, affecting years 2 and 3 of some grants. Other factors include the conclusion of the MARGINS Office (NSF) grant and the departure of two faculty members from the Earth and Planetary Science Department. Total Department of Defense (DOD) funding in FY06 was $2.6M and in FY07 was $3.6M, an increase of approximately $1M. In FY06, total DOD funding for the Medical School was $124,000. Total DOD funding for the Medical School in FY07 was $1.9M, an increase of 1444.4%. The dramatic increase is largely due to the Medical School receiving three new awards from the Department of Defense-US Army, totaling approximately $1M. DOD funding for Arts and Sciences decreased from $359,000 in FY07 to $348,000 in FY06, a decrease of 3.1%. DOD funding for the School of Engineering decreased from $2.1M in FY06 to $1.4M in FY07, a decrease of 35.8%. Table 6 (page 16) lists the different sponsoring agencies with dollar volume and change from FY06 to FY07. Private Sources: Industry and Non-Profit Sponsor Support There has been a trend toward an increase overall of private funding for research over the past few years. Support from private industry rose 20.6% in FY07, an increase of almost $2.7M. A major contributor to this increase is the $1.5M award from Battelle Pacific Northwestern Division to the Biology Department for a project entitled ―Systems Analysis of Membrane Processes in Cytobacterium.‖ Funding from private non-profit dollars decreased slightly by 2.8% (about $1.7M) in FY07 compared to the previous year. Rankings of Top Institutions Receiving Funding Effective FY06, NIH has stopped providing ranking data and now is providing data by state. A review of preliminary data by State, from NIH for its Fiscal Year 2007 indicates that Washington University continues to have major impact upon Missouri’s economy, accounting for nearly 80% of the federal research funding dollars awarded to Missouri universities and institutions.

Sponsored Research Executive Summary
Notable Achievements for Fiscal Year 2007 Notable research initiatives include, but are not limited to, the following: The Establishment of I-CARES The International Center for Advanced Renewable Energy and Sustainability (I-CARES) demonstrates a new area of leadership in sustainable energy research at Washington University. I-CARES encourages and coordinates University-wide and external collaborative research into alternative energy applications. The focus of the center is research on bio-fuels from plant and microbial systems, and the exploration of sustainable alternative energy and environmental systems and practices. I-CARES will foster collaborative and cooperative research, both within the university and externally between Washington University and other regional research institutions, such as the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center and the University of Missouri-Columbia, and international partner universities.
Center for Materials Innovation The Center for Materials Innovation (CMI) is comprised of a multidisciplinary community of scholars from the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Engineering, and the School of Medicine at Washington University, who conduct educational and research activities focused on the creation, study and use of materials. Research at the CMI focuses on the following areas: Nanostructured Materials Synthesis, Magnetic Materials, Biological and Biomedical Materials, and Materials for Energy Applications. BioMed 21 Ground was recently broken on the Washington University Medical Center campus for the new BJC Institute of Health. This facility will house laboratories and support facilities as part of the University's BioMed 21 research initiative, a University-wide research and training initiative aimed at bringing new knowledge of the human genetic blueprint to the patient's bedside through the strategic pursuit of novel medical therapies. The Institute of Health will be home to research that brings together gifted physicians, scientists and researchers with a common goal: to find new and better ways to improve human health, including new treatments and potential cures for human diseases. The Institute will provide the opportunity to translate medical discoveries into everyday patient care for the benefit of our entire community. The five Interdisciplinary Research Centers (IRCs) selected to occupy the new building were chosen through a novel competitive application process that assessed each proposal’s scientific merit and alignment with the core principles of the BioMed 21 initiative. Each addresses a disease-specific area – cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases, infectious diseases or membrane excitability diseases – and each includes researchers from several scientific disciplines and academic departments, who proposed to work together in designated laboratory space within the new building. They include the Center for Cancer Genomics, the Center for the Investigation of Membrane Excitability Disorders, the Center for Women's Infectious Disease Research, the Hope Center Program on Protein Folding and Neurodegeneration, and the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies of Diabetic Cardiovascular Disease. 3
Sponsored Research Executive Summary
Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) program The overall goal of the Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences (ICTS), created by the Clinical and Translational Science Awards program, is to serve as the intellectual and physical home for clinical and translational research, research training, and career development to help overcome the traditional boundaries between disciplines, departments and institutions. WU is the recipient of the four clinical research and training grants that form the basis of the CTSA. An unprecedented level of partnership with other academic, healthcare, community and scientific institutions that complement WU core expertise in laboratory and clinical research and research training is central to the transformation that will be led by the ICTS. The ICTS complements Washington University’s BioMed 21 initiative. Center for Latino Family Research The Center for Latino Family Research in the George Warren Brown School of Social Work is the only center in a U.S. school of social work that conducts research on Latino social, health, mental health, and family and community development in the U.S. and Latin America. The Center's ultimate goal is to help improve the lives of Latino families in all of the Americas. WU Genome Sequencing Center WU Genome Sequencing Center is one of three large-scale genome sequencing centers in the nation to receive support funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI), both part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). These centers will devote significant parts of their efforts to The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Pilot Project, which will test the feasibility of a largescale systematic approach to identify important genomic changes involved in cancer. Test Enhanced Learning in the Classroom The Test Enhanced Learning (TEL) approach views tests as opportunities for learning, instead of holding the traditional view of tests as assessment techniques. The goal of this project is to examine a new approach to learning, memory, and comprehension of text material. Prior laboratory research shows the power of retrieval of material during tests in enhancing later retention. Test-enhanced learning has been shown to be highly effective in promoting student learning in laboratory situations. In this project the researchers are moving toward a systematic application of this approach to education practice, investigating the power of tests to enhance learning of text material. The purpose of this project is to import the Test-Enhanced Learning program into school settings to examine its efficacy at two different educational levels. Study participants will come from a public school in Illinois and from the University of New Mexico. Integrated Nanosystem for Diagnosis and Therapy - Program of Excellence in Nanotechnology Washington University in St. Louis has been chosen as a Program of Excellence in Nanotechnology (PEN) by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health. The prime focus of the Washington University PEN is the development of nanoscale agents that can be assembled, labeled, targeted, filled and activated for eventual diagnosis and treatment of various diseases relevant to NHLBI.

Sponsored Research Executive Summary
The Program of Excellence in Nanotechnology is a vitally important research effort that will spur the development of novel technologies to diagnose and treat heart, lung, and blood diseases. The program brings together bioengineers, materials scientists, biologists, and physicians who will work in interdisciplinary teams. By taking advantage of the unique properties of materials at the nanoscale, these teams will devise creative solutions to medical problems. Specialized Center for Clinically Oriented Research The Specialized Center for Clinically Oriented Research (SCCOR) at Washington University School of Medicine was established with funds from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health to foster research in chronic inflammatory airway diseases. It is one of only four such centers in the country. Researchers will study how emphysema and the associated condition of chronic bronchitis contribute to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. It is hoped that research will lead to a much better understanding of how COPD develops, leading to the discovery of new treatments that stop the progression of the disease. Using a newly developed imaging technique, such as helium MRI, and advanced gene analysis technologies, researchers will take a comprehensive look at the molecular changes that occur as the lungs become crippled by COPD.

Federal Research Funding Federal research funding refers to the dollars awarded by federal agencies to Washington University for use in its sponsored research program. Federal research funding provided 83% of total University award dollars for FY07. As Figure 2 illustrates, the University has demonstrated cumulative growth in total Federal research funding from 2003 to 2007 (an increase of approximately $47 million, or about 12%).

Funding History by Sponsor Type – FY03 to FY07†
State, Local, and International (or “Other Government”) Funding This category most often includes state universities whose subcontracts to WU are funded from their federal grants. It also includes funding from local entities such as the Missouri Department of Highways and Transportation (MODOT), the Missouri Department of Conservation and the City of St. Louis, as well as occasional funding from foreign governments, such as the Australian Research Council. The decrease in state, government and international funding in FY07 is largely due to the fact that in FY06 a $2.8M subcontract (NIH-State Government) was awarded. In FY07, only $300,000 was awarded to the same subcontract (NIAID Inner-City Asthma Consortium Immunologic Approach).

Award Dollars by School and Cost Category
The following table compares FY07 award dollars for schools with the prior year, broken out by direct and facility and administrative (F&A) costs for each school. The percent of change from one fiscal year to the next is tracked in the far right column. The numbers from fiscal year to fiscal year can be significantly impacted by timing, the receipt or expiration of one large award, or the receipt or expiration of many small awards. In addition, the number of awards received is not always an accurate indicator of increased funding. As Table 3 shows, the number of total awards for FY07 increased by eighteen, yet the total dollars for FY07 decreased. This may be indicative of the trend toward collaborative research combined with changes in caps on F&A recovery costs (see Appendix 2).

Award Dollars by School
The term ―Project Type‖ in Table 4 below refers to the distinct types of awards received by the University. Table 4 breaks award dollars into three categories: Research, Research Training and Other Sponsored Activities. Research projects are those activities whose principal focus is the discovery, verification, or even evaluation of new knowledge. Research training includes individual and institutional awards for the support of pre and postdoctoral trainees and fellows, plus institutional awards for graduate education. Other Sponsored Activities include projects such as scholarly conferences, equipment grants and community outreach programs.

Award Dollars by School
The following describes in more detail the activities and award dollars for four Schools: Arts and Sciences The number of awards to the College of Arts and Sciences increased from FY06 (256) to FY07 (261), and the dollars represented by those awards also increased by $2.6M (6.3%) from $41.4M in FY06 to $44M in FY07. Direct costs increased from $30.7M in FY06 to $33.2M in FY07. This increase is due in part to a large award of $2.9M to the Psychology Department from the U.S. Department of Education. Federal funding increased from $33.3M in FY06 to $34.7 M in FY07. Private non-profit funding also increased from $4.6M in FY06 to $5.3M in FY07. Private industry funding also increased from $2.6 in FY06 to $3.0M in FY07. Engineering Although the number of awards to the School of Engineering decreased from FY06 (171) to FY07 (148), the dollars represented by those awards increased by $1M (5.2%) from FY06 ($21M) to FY07 ($22M). Direct costs increased slightly from $15.3M in FY06 to $15.7M in FY07. Federal grant awards increased $3.3M, from $13.5M in FY06 to $16.8M in FY07. NIH funding increased significantly, from $4.1M in FY06 to $7M in FY07, but NSF funding decreased from $6.7M in FY06 to $5.6M in FY07. Private industry funding decreased $0.6M from $2.2M in FY06 to $1.6M in FY07. Private non-profit sources decreased from $2.7M in FY06 to $1.6M in FY07. Medical School The number of awards to the Medical School increased in FY07 from 1,863 in FY06 to 1,890 in FY07, but the dollars represented by those awards decreased by about $8.2M (1.7%), from $473M in FY06 to $464M in FY07. Direct costs increased slightly from $346M in FY06 to $350M in FY07. Recovery of F&A fell, 11.7% from FY06 ($127M) to FY07 ($114M), due in large part to a drop in the recovery rate (from 53% to 25.8%) for the large-scale genome sequencing grant, effective July 1, 2006. Two very large government awards were directly impacted by the decrease in the F&A. As a result, the Medical School experienced a decrease in total government dollars, from $400M in FY06 to $388M in FY07. Total non-government dollars increased from FY06 to FY07. Private industry funding increased from $8.1M in FY06 to $11M in FY07, and private non-profit funding increased from $48.8M in FY06 to $51.7M in FY07. Social Work The number of awards to the George Warren Brown School of Social Work increased from FY06 (32) to FY07 (38), yet the dollars represented by those awards decreased by $3.5M (37.8%). In FY06 the School of Social work received a total $5.9M in awards from foundations ($4.7M from two major awards for $2.5 M and $2.2M each). Award data is impacted by these large, multiyear private awards where funding is provided up front. Though the work of these awards is spread over the course of several years, the full amount of the total award was registered entirely in one year (FY06). Thus annual award levels may vary significantly and do not necessarily reflect the amount of funding potentially available in any given fiscal year. In FY07, the School received $1.7M in awards from foundations. The School received $3.5M in Federal funding in FY06 and $4.2M in FY07. Direct costs were down from $8M in FY06 to $4.6M in FY07. F&A costs were also down from $1.27M in FY06 to $1.22M in FY07. The overhead limitations provided by sponsors, and in some cases, the sponsor’s prohibition against charging overhead to any amount of consortium expenditures, are constraints affecting the School of Social Work’s ability to recover overhead costs.

Office of Technology Management Executive Summary
During Fiscal Year 2007, the Office of Technology Management (OTM) received 100 new invention disclosures. Of these disclosures, 78% originated in the School of Medicine, 11% from the School of Engineering, 6% from the School of Arts & Sciences, and the remainder 5% from across disciplines. The Office handled 22% fewer disclosures than the prior year. The University filed 67 new United States patent applications. The U.S. Patent Office issued 11 patents on behalf of the University. Foreign offices issued 6 patents on behalf of the University. The University generated $12M in total technology transfer revenue. This amount held constant from the previous fiscal year. The University entered into a total of 41 revenue generating license agreements during the year. Of the new license agreements, 88% were non-exclusive. Open source software licenses, most involving gene sequencing and related topics, numbered 1,572. Technology transfer revenues generated by each School were as follows: School of Medicine $10.6M School of Engineering $1.1M School of Arts and Sciences $0.3M Industry sponsored research agreements decreased 4% and other agreements (including confidentiality, evaluation and option, inter-institutional, service, and material transfer) remained about the same. OTM continues its community involvement through such organizations as RCGA, BioGenerator, Danforth Plant Sciences Center Alliance, CORTEX, Coalition for Plant and Life Sciences, NIDUS, CET, MOBio, Missouri Venture Forum, Midwest Research Universities Network and the Research Alliance of Missouri. Involvement with these various organizations extends the mission of the university 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 (e.g. iBridge) 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 advanced technical degrees in the life sciences, chemistry, math, physics or computer sciences.

Office of Technology Management Executive Summary
Technology Highlights for Fiscal Year 2007 A Gene-Expression Signature Predicts Survival of Patients with Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer This gene expression profile uses a finite number of genes (64) to accurately predict long term patient survival after aggressive intervention. The profile identifies patients that will respond well to aggressive therapy, helping oncologists to more efficiently prescribe treatment regimens. Ming You, Yan Lu, and Ramaswamy Govindan. Surgery and Internal Medicine. Human KH Polyomavirus A novel virus has been isolated from patients with acute respiratory disease of unknown origin. Genetic data from this novel polyoma virus can be used to develop diagnostic testing for further undiagnosed respiratory samples. In addition, serology and PCR assays can be developed from the isolated virus protein and genomic data. David Wang, Guang Wu, Anne Gaynor, Michael Nissen and Theo Sloots. Molecular Microbiology and Pathology & Immunology. Induction of Cell Death by the Type JIB Collagen Amino Propeptide It has been discovered that a splice variant of the Type II procollagen amino propeptide can mediate cell death, inhibit angiogenesis, and inhibit cell migration. This invention includes compositions and methods for treating a cell, or population of cells, to induce cell death, inhibit angiogenesis, or inhibit cell migration. Further, this invention may be beneficial for the treatment of tumor cell migration and metastasis, detrimental angiogenesis, tumor formation and growth, osteoporosis, cartilage repair and other diseases where targeted cell death and inhibiting angiogenesis or migration may be advantageous. Linda Sandell and Zhepeng Wang. Orthopedic Surgery. Inhibition of Wnt Signaling by Mesd and Mesd Peptides Several peptides have been identified that inhibit Wnt signaling in cellular systems to varying degrees. The Wnt pathway is critical in bone development and certain types of cancers. By varying the efficacy of the Wnt inhibition using specific peptides, cancer or bone disease can be treated. Guojun Bu. Pediatrics. Isatin Michael Acceptors as Inhibitors of Apoptosis Isatin analogues comprising Michael Acceptors (IMAs) are disclosed, along with methods of synthesizing an IMA. These IMAs are used as inhibitors of caspase 3 and caspase 7 and as imaging agents to image apoptosis therefore useful in monitoring progress of chemotherapy. Robert Mach and Michael Welch et al. Radiology. Lipid Profiling for Alzheimer’s Diagnosis Studies have demonstrated that specific lipid species and lipid profiles can be quantified and used to distinguish between normal ageing and Alzheimer’s disease. These lipid profiles provide a biomarker readout for staging and assessment of disease and disease progression, and the technology has the sensitivity to differentiate the earliest clinically recognizable stage of Alzheimer’s disease. The described methodologies can be broadened to other neurological disorders. Xianlin Han. Internal Medicine.

Office of Technology Management Executive Summary
Method for Extending Efficacy of Antibiotic Treatment During Primary Pneumonic Plague Pneumonic plague is the term used to refer to a lung infection with the pathogen Yersinia Pestis. Generally speaking, pneumonic plague is a serious disease, with reported mortality rates of >95% if antibiotics are not administered within 24 hours following the development of symptoms. The present invention provides methods of treating pneumonic plaque. In particular, the methods increase the time for which antibiotics may be effectively administered in a subject afflicted with pneumonic plague, and consequently, the methods of the invention may increase the chance of the subject’s survival. William Goldman et al. Molecular Microbiology. Multi-Plug Design Insole to Reduce Plantar Pressure A prototype insole that reduces foot pressure and stress has been developed. The design includes multiple, compressible plugs inserted into a larger insole to expressly reduce secondary pressure peaks arising at the plug-insole boundary. The composite multi-plug insole offers flexibility to create an off-the-shelf insole for stresses associated with normal activity or a custom insole for stresses associated with diseased states. Michael Mueller et al. Physical Therapy. Par-1b Protein Kinase as a Drugable Target for Treating Type II Diabetes This target has been demonstrated to be a factor in insulin hypersensitivity in PAR 1b knock out mouse models. The suggestion is that inhibitors of endogenous Par 1b might be effective in regulating metabolic events that are detrimental in Type II diabetes. Helen Piwnica-Worms and Jonathan Hurov. Cell Biology & Physiology. Sigma-2 Receptor Ligands as Chemosensitizers A series of N-substituted 9-azabicyclo [3.3.1] nonan-3α-yl phenyl carbamate analogs are disclosed as well as methods of their preparation. Their affinities for sigma (σ1 and σ2) receptors are described. Two new compounds are shown to have a high affinity and selectivity for σ2 versus σ1 receptors. Some of these compounds have been shown to induce cell death and are effective for treatment of tumors. The compounds can be used as chemotherapeutics or chemosensitizers in the treatment of a wide variety of solid tumors. Robert Mach et al. Radiology. Transplantation of Bone Marrow Derived Stem Cells for the Regeneration of Beta Cell Function This invention uses adult stem cells isolated from bone marrow using a novel selection technology that enriches the cells for beta cell function. These cells are subsequently injected into diabetic mouse models resulting in reduced blood glucose levels in the mouse. David Hess, Robarts Research Institute.

US Patent Applications by School
OTM filed a total of 81 U.S. provisional and non-provisional patent applications in FY07. 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 filed 25 patents in foreign countries. Table 3

Licenses
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 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, upfront license fee without subsequent fees or royalties. No-fee license: rights are granted to a third-party (usually another non-profit 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. The University generated $12M in total technology transfer revenue. This amount has held constant from the previous fiscal year. The University entered into a total of 36 revenue generating license agreements during the year. Of the new license agreements, 74% were non-exclusive. Open source software licenses, most involving gene sequencing and related topics, numbered 1,578.

License Revenue by School
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. The University generated $12M in total technology transfer revenue. Technology transfer revenues generated by each School were as follows: Table 8 Arts & Sciences Engineering Medicine Social Work

Material Transfer Agreements by Department
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 14

Industry Sponsored Clinical Trials Executive Summary Fiscal Years 2007 - 2005 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 4% from 1,294 trials in fiscal year 2005 to 1,318 trials in fiscal year 2007. During that same time, the cash receipts from those trials have increased by 13% from $21.4 million in 2005 to $24.4 million in 2007. However, during the period fiscal years 2005 to 2007, the number of new clinical trial contracts has decreased by 3% as is shown in Figure 3. 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 2007, 683 out of 1,318 or 52% were performed in the Department of Internal Medicine. In dollar terms this represents 48% of the total clinical trial dollars for fiscal year 2007. For a break-down of clinical trials by Division of the School of Medicine’s Department of Internal Medicine, please refer to Figure 2. 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 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
41
Industry Sponsored Clinical Trials Executive Summary
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 of 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 28,000 individuals. Working with the Washington University Institutional Review Board, VFH also assists Washington University faculty place advertisements seeking clinical trial volunteers. As of fiscal year 2007, VHF placed more than 1,200 advertisements in all forms of media (radio, newspaper, posters and 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 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.
42
Industry Sponsored Clinical Trials Executive Summary 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 McDonnell Pediatric Research Building (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.

Sponsored Research Expense Executive Summary
This report presents an overview of expenditure activity for sponsored research projects at Washington University during the fiscal year of 2007 (FY07). The expense dollars reported are for all transactions that occur on or between July 1, 2006 and June 30, 2007. 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 are expenses associated with projects supported by sales and service agreements and clinical trials. The report includes expenses related to training and the U.S. Department of Education’s College Work-Study Program; however, these activities represent only a very small fraction of total expenditures. Expenditure Activity The University’s total research expenditures for FY07 amounted to $537 million, an increase of 3% over FY06. This percentage increase is driven primarily from additional dollars ($5.8 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 77% 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 ($9.4 million). The University maintained a strong position in sponsored research during FY07. Detailed schedules regarding this activity have been compiled 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) NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration NIH - National Institutes of Health (A division of DHHS) NSF - National Science Foundation USDA - United States Department of Agriculture USDE - United States Department of Education

Sponsored Research Expense Executive Summary
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 nonprofit entities such as; the James S. McDonnell Foundation, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. Voluntary Health - Sponsored agreements from non-profit 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-profit agencies such as: Shriners Hospital for Children, Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the St. Louis Zoo. Project Type
Research
Projects and activities that discover new scientific areas, procedures and devices.
Research Training
Support provided to pre/postdoctoral students and fellows involved in research training programs.
Other Sponsored Activities
Other activities such as public service, patient service, conference grants, community outreach programs and student aid. 48

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 and 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. 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 greater than $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 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 12 for a summary of the University’s cost sharing contributions.
49
Sponsored Research Expense Executive Summary
Facilities and Administrative (F&A) Rates Sponsored projects awarded to the University provide funding for direct and F&A costs (see previous page). 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.
54%
Federal on-campus research rate for projects awarded during the period 7/1/01 – 6/30/02. Applied to modified total direct costs.
53%
Federal on-campus research rate for projects awarded during the period 7/1/02 – 6/30/06. Applied to modified total direct costs.
52.5%
Federal on-campus research rate for projects awarded during the period 7/1/06 – 6/30/07. Applied to modified total direct costs.
50%
Base rate for non-federal sponsors. Applied to total direct costs.
26%
Federal off-campus research rate.
8%
Federal rate for research training and fellowship projects.
Other
Includes various rates from federal, private and other government sponsors.
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 are available on the SPA website (http://www.spa.wustl.edu/).

Appendix 1 Changes in Business Rules and Historical Trend Data
Changes in Business Rules and Historical Trend Data Reflected in Annual Reports as of Fiscal Year 2005
An analysis conducted in 2005 showed that the ―new award‖ data provided in past years had actually contained totals for both new fiscal year dollars awarded and carried forward award dollars from the previous fiscal year. Essentially, this resulted in a report of dollars that were actually ―available award dollars‖ rather than newly awarded dollars for each of the fiscal years. Beginning with the Fiscal Year 2005 Annual Report, Tables 1 – 11 have been modified to reflect only new dollars.

Appendix 2 Trends in Federal Research Funding
This Appendix to the OVCR Annual Report provides information compiled from various sources, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), regarding trends in federal research funding. According to the AAAS Budget and Policy Program, ―Federal research did very well between 1998 and 2003 because of the campaign to double the budget of NIH, the largest supporter of research. Other agencies also increased their research investments in that time period because a string of budget surpluses freed up resources for domestic appropriations. But with the return of budget deficits in 2002 followed by restraints on domestic spending thereafter, growth in research funding for NIH and other domestic agencies slowed in 2004 and then reversed. At the same time, DOD research support lagged as the Pentagon went to war in 2003 and shifted resources away from research toward near-term projects, and NASA research fell even within a stable R&D budget as it shifted resources from research first to returning the Space Shuttle to flight and then toward developing the Shuttle’s replacement.‖ Source http://www.aaas.org/spp/rd/prev08p.htm
The graphs below reflect historical trends in Federal R& D funding for selected agencies in constant dollars.

Appendix 2 Trends in Federal Research Funding
President Bush signed a bill into law on February 15, 2007, which included the American Competitiveness Initiative (ACI). That initiative increased funding for three key agencies, including: the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Department of Energy’s Office of Science (DOE OS), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology Laboratories (NIST). The National Institutes of Health (NIH) received an inflationary increase instead of flat funding. Notice the increase in total NSF R&D funding in FY07, reversing two years of cuts in 2005 and 2006. ―President Bush also signed into law an NIH authorization bill that formally authorized a Common Fund cutting across NIH institute and appropriations lines to fund trans-NIH initiatives such as the Roadmap for Medical Research. Most NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) received the same budgets in 2007 as last year, but the transfer of trans-NIH funding from individual ICs to OD (Office of the Director) in 2007 should allow most ICs to increase their research funding by 1.2 percent. The 2007 appropriation allows NIH to barely keep pace with economy-wide inflation in 2007 after two years of real cuts, but leaves NIH 3% below 2004 funding in real terms.‖ Source: http://www.yale.edu/oranewsletter/archive1/feature1.html
The chart below shows the NIH R&D, in current dollars. Note that, since FY98, obligations in current dollars to Universities and Colleges have increased every year. The change in current dollars from FY98 to FY06 was 107.5%.

Appendix 2 Trends in Federal Research Funding
The graph below represents NIH R&D funding from 1998 to 2006 in constant dollars. During the 5-year period from 1998 to 2003, the NIH budget more than doubled from $13B to more than $27B. Since 2003, however, the trend has stalled. The following graph illustrates (in constant 2007 dollars) how NIH funding dramatically increased to Universities and Colleges during the years 1998-2003, before the stall and downward trend that began in 2004.

Appendix 2 Trends in Federal Research Funding
The graph below shows the NIH budget for the past 30 years. Note that in current dollars (blue), the budget doubled in the 5-year period between 1998 and 2003, with a small increase in 2004 and a subsequent leveling through 2007, while the constant dollars (green) actually decreased from 2003 through 2007, indicating that the NIH budget is not keeping pace with inflation.

Trend toward collaborative research ―The federal government, including the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, now supports projects that ask for researchers in different disciplines to work together. The NIH road map, a project that is determining the agency’s future extramural and intramural research mission, has defined certain areas for study, such as nanomedicine and structural biology, which will involve research within and across disciplines, and, in some cases, with industry. The new programs support research as well as the education of next-generation scientists to look across disciplines when doing research. The NSF also has ―cross-cutting/interdisciplinary programs‖ that seek new and multidisciplinary approaches in research, education, earth systems, and organizational structures.― (Source: http://ccnmtl.columbia.edu/projects/rcr/rcr_science/foundation/index.html#2_B )

Appendix 2 Trends in Federal Research Funding
Multiple PIs ―All Federal research agencies including NIH are preparing policies and procedures to formally allow multiple Principal Investigators (PI) on individual research awards. However, it is intended to supplement, and not to replace, the traditional single PI model. The overarching goal is to maximize the potential of team science efforts, responsive to the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.‖ (Source: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/multi_pi/index.htm) Caps on F&A Recovery Reductions of F&A recovery and the imposition of arbitrary caps on reimbursement of F&A costs (such as the cap on F&A costs on Department of Defense sponsored research) is a trend that could place additional burden on universities. Projections: Future of Funding ―The AAAS analysis of the latest outyear projections reveals that the Bush budget would cut R&D funding for all major R&D programs over the next five years except for NASA's space exploration programs and the three agencies singled out in the American Competitiveness Initiative (DOE Science, NSF, and NIST). Even defense and homeland security R&D, recipients of large increases until this year and projected for increases in past budgets, would decline in the latest projections.‖ (Source: http://www.aaas.org/spp/rd/guioutyr.htm)
