	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.RESEARCH IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE UNIVERSITY'S MISSION AND THE RESEARCH CORPORATION FACILITATES THIS MISSION THROUGH ITS ROLE AS A FISCAL AGENT FOR SPONSORED PROJECTS. THE RESEARCH CORPORATION ALSO USES ITS UNIQUE STATUS TO MAXIMIMZE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER IN ADDITION TO ITS ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT FUNCTIONS. ONE IMPORTANT INDICATION OF THIS SUCCESS IS WVU'S RENEWAL AS AN R1, DOCTORAL UNIVERSITY - HIGHEST RESEARCH ACTIVITY, BY THE CARNEGIE FOUNDATION IN FISCAL YEAR 2018 PLACING WVU AMOUNG THE 130 STRONGEST RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS IN THE US. BY OUR CALCULATION WVU MOVED FROM 109TH TO 90TH IN THE CLASSIFICATION. IN FY19, WVU SECURED MORE THAN $181M IN SPONSORED PROGRAM FUNDING, A NEW HIGH FOR THE INSTITUTION.THE FEDERAL FUNDING LANDSCAPE IMPROVED AGAIN IN 2017 WITH AN INCREASE OF 1.7% (ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION) IN FUNDING FROM 2016 ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECENT REPORT FROM THE NSF SURVEY OF HIGHER EDUCATION RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES. FEDERAL FUNDING IS EXPECTED TO GROW AGAIN SLIGHTLY THIS YEAR. FEDERAL FUNDING FOR SPONSORED PROGRAMS AT THE UNIVERSITY HAS INCREASED FROM $78M IN FY18 TO $96M IN FY19 SUBSTANTIALLY AHEAD OF THE NATIONAL TREND. INVESTMENTS IN IMPROVING THE COMPETITIVENESS OF THE FACULTY THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PROGRAMS BY THE RESEARCH OFFICE IS BEGINNING TO YIELD A NOTICEABLE RETURN IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER AND DOLLAR VALUE OF NEW AWARDS. THE MOST EFFECTIVE OF THESE ARE THE PROGRAMS TO STIMULATE COMPETITIVE RESEARCH, PROVIDING SUPPORT TO ENSURE THAT RESUBMITTED PROPOSALS HAVE A SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCED PROBABLILITY OF SUCCESS; AND AN INTERNAL NIH STYLE STUDY SECTION AT HSC, PROVIDING SCIENTIFIC REVIEW OF GRANT APPLICATIONS PRIOR TO EXTERNAL SUBMISSION HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED TO INCREASE COMPETITIVENESS.AN AREA OF STRENGTH FOR THE UNIVERSITY CONTINUES TO BE ENERGY RESEARCH IN GENERAL, AND FOSSIL ENERGY RESEARCH IN PARTICULAR. IN TERMS OF FUNDING FROM THE US DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, WVU RANKS 42ND IN THE NATION AHEAD OF REGIONAL PEERS UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH, AND CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECENT DATA FROM THE NSF ON RESEARCH EXPENDITURES. THE WVU ENERGY INSTITUTE HAS DETERMINED THAT THE UNIVERSITY IS NUMBER 2 IN THE COUNTRY IN SUPPORT FOR FOSSIL ENERGY RESEARCH.AN AREA OF OPPORTUNITY FOR GREATER GROWTH IS WITHIN FUNDING FROM THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH. BUILDING ON THE RECENT RENEWAL OF THE CLINICAL AND TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH AWARD OF $20M FEDERAL FUNDS, A NEW CENTER OF EXCELLENCE IN CLINICAL TRIALS IS BEING PLANNED TO FOCUS ON SIGNATURE PROGRAMS IN CARDIOVASCULAR AND NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES AND WILL BEGIN OPERATION IN FY20. THESE PROGRAMS LED BY INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED CLINICIAN SCIENTISTS HAVE ALREADY BEGUN ATTRACTING BOTH FEDERAL AND PRIVATE FUNDING IN SUPORT OF RESEARCH. THE GOAL IS TO DOUBLE NIH FUNDING TO WVU HSC BY 2022 TO OVER $40M. IN THE PAST YEAR NIH AWARDS TO WVU INCREASED FROM $20.4M TO $27.7M. THE UNIVERSITY IN COLLABORATION WITH THE RESEARCH CORPORATION AND THE INNOVATION CORPORATION ARE SEEKING TO EXPAND US DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE FUNDING OVER THE NEXT 5 YEARS AS WELL. CONGRESS RECENTLY REAUTHORIZED THE DOD EPSCOR PROGRAM THAT WILL PROVIDE A MECHANISM FOR WVU RESEARCHERS TO SEEK FUNDING FROM A MORE LIMITED POOL OF STATES AND BUILD UP THEIR RECOGNITION AMOUNG DOD FUNDERS. DOD AWARDS INCREASED FROM $0.9M TO $2.5M IN THIS PAST YEAR.THE UNIVERSITY CONTINUES TO IMPROVE ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH PRIVATE SECTOR PARTNERS TO GROW INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH SUPPORT THROUGH ITS OFFICE OF CORPORATE RELATIONS. EFFORTS HAVE BEEN FOCUSED ON PARTNERSHIPS WITH INDUSTRIES IN HEALTH CARE, ENERGY, AND DEFENSE IN KEEPING WITH PRIORITIES FOR THE STATE AND UNIVERSITY.

ReturnReference	Explanation
PART I, LINE 2:	GRANT ELIGIBILITY AND SELECTION OF RECIPIENTS ARE DETERMINED BY THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL GRANT. EDUCATIONAL GRANTS ARE AWARDED BASED ON ACADEMIC MERIT. IF THE RECIPIENT IS KNOWN AT THE TIME THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR WRITES THE GRANT PROPOSAL, THAT INFORMATION IS INCLUDED IN THE PROPOSAL FOR SPONSOR APPROVAL. IF THE RECIPIENT IS DETERMINED AT A LATER DATE, THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR SUBMITS A REQUEST FOR A SUB-AWARD TO THE SPONSOR FOR APPROVAL AT THAT TIME. SUB-RECIPIENTS ARE PAID ON A COST REIMBURSABLE OR FIXED PRICE BASIS. IN BOTH INSTANCES, THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR REVIEWS AND APPROVES INVOICES FOR PAYMENT. THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR IS ALSO THE INDIVIDUAL WHO RECEIVES AND REVIEWS TECHNICAL PROGRESS REPORTS FROM SUB-RECIPIENTS. EDUCATIONAL GRANTS TO STUDENTS ARE POSTED DIRECTLY TO THE STUDENT'S ACCOUNT. THE STUDENT'S ACCOUNT IS REVIEWED BY WVU STUDENT ACCOUNTS TO DETERMINE IF ANY MONEY IS OWED BY THE STUDENT OR OWED TO THE STUDENT AS A REFUND. STUDENTS ALSO REVIEW THEIR OWN ACCOUNTS TO ENSURE THAT THEY AGREE WITH THE ACTIVITY POSTED TO THEIR ACCOUNTS.
