Supplemental Information
Provide the information required by Part I, line 2 (monitoring of funds); Part I, line 3, column (f) (accounting method; amounts of investments vs. expenditures per region); Part II, line 1 (accounting method); Part III (accounting method); and Part III, column (c) (estimated number of recipients), as applicable. Also complete this part to provide any additional information. See instructions.
ReturnReference Explanation
Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds Grants or other assistance are awarded to foreign organizations or entities pursuant to the University policies and procedures for all grant subawards. Such subawards are monitored through the University's office for Sponsored Research (OSR) and the University's office of Accounting Services for Research and Sponsored Programs (ASRSP). All subaward documentation including purchase orders, related charges and invoices are reviewed and monitored by ASRSP and confirmed with the principal investigator. The principal investigator must certify that the subaward costs are in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Uniform Guidance (Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements); also, ASRSP requests and collects audit reports from subaward recipients to monitor compliance, as required by the Uniform Guidance. If the information is not furnished to ASRSP, payment may be withheld.
Schedule F, Part II, Line 1 Method used to account for cash grants In connection with the monitoring of subawards through OSR, approved purchase orders and invoices are documented and accounted for in the University's electronic financial recording system, and such amounts are reflected in Part II, Line 1. Of the 33 organizations that received grants in Part II, 26 are universities, colleges, and hospitals; 5 are research centers; and 1 is a foreign nonprofit.
Schedule F, Part III(c) Estimated number of recipients Cash grants given to individuals are recorded in an electronic reporting tool. The data recorded includes information as to participation by undergraduate students in study abroad programming. Individual recipients of cash grants are coded with unique identifying numbers. Grants associated with undergraduate students coded as participating in a study abroad are reviewed to assess whether there is an overlap between the grant disbursement date and the date of the applicable study abroad program. The number of such students, based on their unique identifying numbers, are summed and reflected in Part III, column (c).
Schedule F, Part I, Line 1 Program Services The program services listed in Part I reflect international educational programs in which the University has material involvement in the design, development and/or control of the program and/or curriculum. While Northwestern University provides its students with access to a multitude of study abroad programs and exchanges located throughout the world, the University does not administer or operate the educational courses taught by all of these programs. Rather, under reciprocity and affiliation agreements, the University helps facilitate its students' access to such international programs and recognizes credit earned by students at such foreign educational institutions, and such exchange programs are excluded from Schedule F, Part I. Under Northwestern University's current accounting procedures, all expenses associated with study abroad programs are not separately tracked, and therefore some expenditures per program are not listed in Part I, column (f).
Schedule F, Part I, Line 3(f) Method used to account for expenditures Expenditures reported in Part I are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. University activities are assigned a unique identifying number. Direct expenses are recorded with respect to each activity in the University's electronic financial recording system. Such direct expenses, for the relevant tax year, are reflected in column (f)

Such subawards are monitored through the University's office for Sponsored Research (OSR) and the University's Office of Accounting Services for Research and Sponsored Programs (ASRSP). All subaward documentation including purchase orders, related charges and invoices are reviewed and monitored by ASRSP and confirmed with the principal investigator. The principal investigator must certify that the subaward costs are in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Uniform Guidance (Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements); also, ASRSP requests and collects audit reports from subaward recipients to monitor compliance, as required by the Uniform Guidance. If the information is not furnished to ASRSP, payment may be withheld.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 16b JOINT VENTURES THE UNIVERSITY DOES NOT HAVE A WRITTEN POLICY REGARDING JOINT VENTURES IN GENERAL. HOWEVER, JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENTS ARE REVIEWED BY THE UNIVERSITY'S OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL TO EVALUATE WHETHER THE AGREEMENT FURTHERS THE MISSION OF THE UNIVERSITY AND TO ENSURE THE SAFEGUARDING OF UNIVERSITY'S ASSETS. THE UNIVERSITY ALSO HAS GUIDELINES CONCERNING JOINT VENTURES IN ITS TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AND INVESTMENT POLICIES.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 1a Delegate broad authority to a committee Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees is comprised of 21 members of the governing body. The Executive Committee may exercise the power of the Board of Trustees between meetings with respect to ordinary business transactions.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body An electronic copy of the University's final Form 990 (including all required schedules), was provided to each voting member of the University's governing body prior to filing. That version of the Form 990 is identical to the one ultimately filed with the IRS. Prior to providing a copy to the governing body, a draft of the Form 990 was provided for review to the Audit, Risk, and Compliance Committee of the Board of Trustees, which is comprised of a subset of members from the governing body who review the accounting procedures and controls of the University.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy University Bylaws and Statutes require that any conflict of interest of any Trustee, Officer or their immediate families be disclosed to the University in writing. An Officer shall call any conflict of interest to the attention of the President (unless the conflict is on the part of the President, in which case it shall be called to the attention of the Vice President and General Counsel and the Chair of the Board of Trustees). If the matter is being considered by the Board of Trustees or one of its committees, such Officer is not permitted to participate in or make recommendations about the conflict of interest under discussion, except to the extent the Officer is required by the Trustees of other officers to answer pertinent questions related to the conflict. A Trustee having a conflict of interest shall call it to the attention of the Board or committee and shall abstain on voting on the subject. The Trustee is encouraged to answer pertinent questions when his/her knowledge of the subject will assist the Board or any of its committees. In addition, Trustees are subject to a Conflict of Interest Policy, which has been adopted by the Board of Trustees. Potential conflicts of interest are further scrutinized under a University investment policy governing Trustee Relationship Investments whereby, among other things, affected trustees must recuse themselves from any discussion and vote related to the investment. Pursuant to the University's staff and faculty Conflict of Interest Policies, employees are required to disclose potential conflicts of interest to the University on an annual basis. Employees receive annual reminders to complete a conflict of interest questionnaire and responses are submitted electronically and reviewed by each employee's supervisor. Potential conflicts are further reviewed by the University's Department of Human Resources and action taken by senior management as needed.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official The Compensation Committee of the Board includes members of the University's governing body who are not related or controlled by the employees whose compensation they are reviewing. To assess the reasonableness of employee compensation, the compensation committee of the Board relies on (i) formal survey and comparability data prepared and compiled by an outside consultant who has expertise in the field of executive compensation assessment and benchmarking and (ii) compensation recommendations from the President and Provost for their direct reports. The Compensation Committee of the Board meets every June for the purpose of reviewing and approving executive compensation recommendations for the next fiscal year. After review and the approval, the Committee's decisions are documented with internal communications to executive leadership except that the President's compensation is communicated solely to the Vice President & General Counsel. The offices of the President, Provost and Senior Vice President separately then send the final compensation decisions to the payroll department and the Vice President of Human Resources for implementation and processing other than the compensation information of the President, which is provided by the Vice President & General Counsel to the Vice President of Human Resources.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the public Governing documents: The University maintains an Office for Global Marketing and Communication where information requests from the public are processed. The organizing document by which the University was created, its charter, is available upon request. The University's employee conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available on the University website.
