SEE SCHEDULE OIN 1985, THE WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY RESEARCH CORPORATION (WVURC) WAS CREATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STATE LAW AND WITH THE EXPRESSED PURPOSE TO FOSTER AND SUPPORT RESEARCH AT WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY (WVU). THE CORPORATION IS ORGANIZED EXCLUSIVELY FOR CHARITABLE, EDUCATIONAL, AND SCIENTIFIC PURPOSES, INCLUDING FOR SUCH PURPOSES: (1) TO FOSTER AND SUPPORT RESEARCH AT WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY; AND(2) TO PROVIDE EVALUATION, DEVELOPMENT, PATENTING, MANAGEMENT AND MARKETING SERVICES FOR INVENTIONS BY THE FACULTY, STAFF AND STUDENTS OF WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY.FROM A FUNDING PERSPECTIVE, FEDERALLY SUPPORTED RESEARCH PROGRAMS REPRESENT AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF WVURC'S REVENUE BASE. THIS SUPPORT HAS BEEN IMPACTED BY EVENTS SUCH AS INCREASING FEDERAL BUDGET DEFICITS, LOSS OF KEY COMMITTEE LEADERSHIP FOR THE STATE IN BOTH THE US HOUSE AND SENATE AND THE "SPEND DOWN" OF ONE-TIME ARRA STIMULUS FUNDING. THE UNIVERSITY HAS BEEN ACTIVELY COUNTERING THESE CHALLENGES BY STRENGTHENING THE COMPETITIVENESS OF ITS FACULTY FOR GRANTS THROUGH A COMBINATION OF FACULTY TRAINING PROGRAMS AND PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE AND WILL RELY ON WVURC'S INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT THAT ENDEAVOR. THIS, COMBINED WITH AN EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCY OF THE SENATE RESEARCH GRANT AND SENATE FACULTY TRAVEL GRANT PROGRAMS THEMSELVES SHOULD HELP PROVIDE A USER FRIENDLY INFRASTRUCTURE PROCESS THAT FACILITATES THE IDENTIFICATION OF EXTERNAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES.IN 2013 WVURC COMMENCED OPERATIONS OF THE WVU CLINICAL AND PHARMACOLOGICAL RESEARCH CENTER. THIS PROJECT HAS PARTNERED WITH MYLAN PHARMACEUTICALS (THE THIRD LARGEST GENERIC AND SPECIALTY PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY IN THE WORLD) TO CONDUCT CLINICAL TRIALS. IN 2014 THIS OPERATION GENERATED REVENUES OF APPROXIMATELY $7 MILLION AND IS POISED FOR EXPANSION IN THE FUTURE.ADDITIONALLY, THE RESEARCH CORPORATION IS WORKING WITH THE UNIVERSITY AND THE WVU FOUNDATION TO DEVELOP A BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT CENTER TO DEVELOP DEEPER RELATIONSHIPS WITH CORPORATIONS IN AREAS SUCH AS CLINICAL COLLABORATIONS, SPONSORSHIP OF APPLIED RESEARCH PROJECTS, COLLABORATION TO SEEK LARGE GOVERNMENT FUNDED PROJECTS THAT REQUIRE INDUSTRY-ACADEMIC PARTNERS, AND ENGAGEMENT OF STUDENTS THROUGH INTERNSHIP FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES.FINALLY, THE RESEARCH CORPORATION IS ALSO DEVELOPING A STRONG SUPPORT SYSTEM TO ENCOURAGE ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTIVITIES. THE CENTER OF INNOVATION, ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND COMMERCIALIZATION WAS STARTED IN 2014. THE CENTER IS HOME TO THE UNIVERSITY LAUNCH PAD THAT IS USED TO PROVIDE SERVICES AND SPACE TO ENTREPRENEURIAL STUDENTS AND FACULTY TO DEVELOP THEIR IDEAS AND SUCCUSSFULLY MARKET THEM. THUS FAR, THE LAUNCH PAD HAS SECURED DEDICATED SPACE ON THE MAIN CAMPUS AND FORMED BOTH A MARKETING AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY GROUP TO FACILITATE THE COMMERCIALIZATION PROCESS.WHILE FEDERAL SPONSORED AWARDS ARE IMPORTANT, THE UNIVERSITY THROUGH THE RESEARCH CORPORATION CONTINUES TO EXPAND ITS BASE OF FUNDING FOR THE RESEARCH ENTERPRISE FROM THE PRIVATE SECTOR SOURCES SUCH AS FOUNDATIONS, CORPORATIONS, AND COLLABORATIONS WITH INDUSTRY.
