| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF TRANSPLANTATION AND INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR BIOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL REPOSITORIES, WE UNDERTOOK AN IN-DEPTH RESEARCH PROJECT EXAMINING THE POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS OF BIOPRESERVATION SCIENCE TO VARIOUS AREAS OF HUMAN HEALTH. THESE INCLUDED ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION, TISSUE TRANSPLANTATION AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY, BASIC BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH, PRE-CLINICAL DRUG TESTING, ONCOFERTILITY, COSMETICS TESTING, TISSUE ENGINEERING, AND CELL THERAPY. THE MAIN OUTCOME OF THIS RESEARCH HAS BEEN A PLETHORA OF SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE SESSIONS, TALKS, WEBINARS, AND OTHER EVENTS, AS WELL AS THREE PEER-REVIEWED PUBLICATIONS IN PREPARATION. THE RESEARCH GATHERED HAS ALSO FORMED MUCH OF THE BASIS FOR OUR PUBLICLY AVAILABLE SCIENTIFIC GRANTWRITING RESOURCES AND THE RESEARCH AGENDA FOR THE BIOSTASIS RESEARCH INSTITUTE (SEE BELOW). |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B | WE PUBLICLY SOLICITED PROPOSALS FROM THE RESEARCH COMMUNITY TO ESTABLISH THE FIRST UNIVERSITY RESEARCH CENTERS FOCUSED ON ORGAN AND TISSUE CRYOPRESERVATION. AFTER DISCUSSING POSSIBILITIES FOR THESE RESEARCH CENTERS WITH RESEARCH LABS FROM ROUGHLY A DOZEN UNIVERSITIES, AS WELL AS RECEIVING WRITTEN PROPOSALS THAT WERE REVIEWED BY OUTSIDE (FINANCIALLY DISINTERESTED) ADVISORS, WE ENGAGED WITH TWO INSTITUTIONS IN PLANNING THESE CENTERS: THE INSTITUTE FOR ENGINEERING IN MEDICINE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, AND THE CENTER FOR ENGINEERING IN MEDICINE AT MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL. THE PLANNING ACTIVITIES DURING 2018 FORMED THE BASIS FOR A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN IN 2019 AIMED AT SEEDING THESE TWO RESEARCH CENTERS. THE MAIN ACTIVITIES INVOLVED TRAVEL TO THE UNIVERSITIES, DISCUSSIONS WITH MANY FACULTY MEMBERS AND ADMINISTRATORS, INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING AND BUDGETING, AND DISCUSSION OF WHICH SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH PROJECTS WERE POTENTIALLY FUNDABLE AND SCALABLE WITH MANY POTENTIAL PHILANTHROPIC DONORS, DONOR INFLUENCERS, PROSPECTIVE RESEARCH COLLABORATORS AND STAKEHOLDER PARTNERS, AND POTENTIAL END-USERS OF THE TECHNOLOGIES TO BE DEVELOPED. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4C | AS AN EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM, WE WORKED WITH PROFESSIONAL TECHNICAL WRITERS TO DEVELOP RESEARCH PROJECT PROPOSAL MATERIALS TO BE USED BY RESEARCH LABS. THE MAIN OUTCOME OF THESE ACTIVITIES HAS BEEN PUBLICLY AVAILABLE "SIGNIFICANCE" STATEMENTS ON OUR WEBSITE THAT OUTLINE THE PUBLIC HEALTH IMPACT OF AREAS OF RESEARCH UNDER OUR PURVIEW. THESE WERE HEAVILY RESEARCHED 1-2 PAGE DOCUMENTS WITH REFERENCES, WHICH HAD BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH BY RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS IN OUR NETWORK (SYLVATICA BIOTECH, MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL, UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA AND OTHER COLLABORATORS) AS A RESULT OF GRANTWRITING COLLABORATIONS WITH OPA AND GIVEN OUTSTANDING REVIEWS BY FUNDING REVIEW PANELS. THESE HAVE BEEN USED AS A RESOURCE BY MANY LABS IN THE U.S. AND INTERNATIONALLY TO EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANCE OF THEIR PROJECTS WHEN SUBMITTING FUNDING APPLICATIONS. AS A SECONDARY OUTCOME, OPA ALSO OBTAINED PROGRAM SERVICE REVENUE BY CHARGING ANY PRIVATE RESEARCH LAB PARTNERS REIMBURSEMENT FEES FOR SUCCESSFUL GRANTS SUBMISSIONS WITH OPA CONTRACT GRANTWRITER INVOLVEMENT (INCLUDING LATER RESUBMISSIONS OF UNSUCCESSFUL APPLICATIONS). THESE FEES ARE TIED TO THE FINALIZED NIH BUDGET FOR EACH SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION, AND THUS THE REVENUES ARE NOT RECORDED ON THE 2018 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PER GAAP RULES. |

| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 11B | THE PRESIDENT/CEO REVIEWS THE RETURNS PRIOR TO FILING. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 12C | THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY WAS PRESENTED TO DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS UPON BEGINNING THEIR ROLES AT OPA, AND EACH HAD TO AGREE TO ABIDE BY IT. THE POLICY WAS AN INTEGRAL PART OF BOARD DECISIONS, AS BOARD MEMBERS WERE INSTRUCTED TO FLAG ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICTS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE POLICY; THIS TRIGGERED THE PROCEDURES OUTLINED THEREIN. FINANCIALLY INTERESTED CEO DECISIONS WERE MADE BY THE GOVERNING BOARD (DISINTERESTED MEMBERS ONLY). |
| FORM 990, PAGE 6, PART VI, LINE 15A | NO WRITTEN POLICY, BUT AS A RULE THE ORGANIZATION CONSIDERS COMPARABILITY DATA FOR FAIR MARKET VALUE WHEN CONSIDERING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS |
