Trends in Extramural Support: Active Awards • In the past year, extramural support for UAB increased by $44,100,939, bringing total active awards to $364,904,661 from $320,803,722. This represents a 13.7% increase. (Exhibit I) Note: Because of the award process used by the CDC, the information in Exhibit I does not capture the Special Interest Projects (SIPs) which in FY01 amounted to $7,679,045 dollars resulting in underestimates of total awards in the Departments of Medicine ($3,146,302), Psychology ($3,119,802), Health Behavior ($431,327), Occupational Therapy ($336,852), Health Care Organization & Policy ($241,607), Obstetrics & Gynecology ($149,994), Health Services Administration ($130,806) and Oral Biology ($122,355). • The volume of awards remained steady with a total of 1914 active awards. This represents less than a 1% decrease from last year’s 1933 active awards. (Exhibit III) • The number of active contracts in FY02 increased slightly from 849 to 853, while the FY02 volume of active grants decreased slightly from 1084 to 1061. (Exhibit V) • The number of awards received that exceeded $500,000 grew from 80 awards in FY01 to 90 awards in FY02, an increase of 12.5%. These awards comprise 5% of total awards received. Forty percent of all awards are between $100,000 and $500,000. (Exhibit VI) • The majority of awards continue to be for the School of Medicine and the Joint Departments. Awards to the School of Medicine represent 59.34% of all awards to UAB and awards to the Joint Departments represent 17.9%. (Table I) • The School of Medicine had the largest increase in awarded dollars. Medicine had a growth of more than $34 million, representing an 18.7% increase. The Joint Departments had the second largest increase in awarded dollars growing by more than $6 million. The School of Engineering was the third with an increase of $3.1 million. (Table I) • The units with the largest percentage growth in dollars awarded since last year were: UAB Options (78.44%), the School of Education (58.57%), and the School of Engineering (52.44%).

Trends in Indirect Cost Recovery • This year’s awarded indirect cost dollars of $74,392,290 represent 25.6% of the total extramural support dollars of $364,904,661. (Exhibit XXXV) • The indirect cost dollars awarded rose 12.6% since last year. Awarded indirect dollars are $74,392,290 this year versus $66,074,909 last year. Since FY99, there has been a 28.95% increase ($16,702,173). (Table II) • Indirect cost recovery from philanthropic foundations has increased steadily since 1999, reaching $762,471 in FY02. (Table II) • Awards from Federal government agencies accounted for the majority of indirect dollars. Federal sources represent 84.6% ($62.9 million) of the awarded indirect cost dollars. Industry is the second leading source of indirect cost dollars with $9,520,719 this fiscal year. (Exhibit XXXVI) • 95.3% of the indirect dollars were from research projects. The remaining 4.7% came from service and training projects. Indirect dollars from training nearly doubled last year. (Table III) • Projects of the School of Medicine and Joint Departments accounted for 79.93% of the awarded indirect dollars for FY02. (Table IV) • Faculty from the Joint departments account for only 9% of total faculty but generated 23% of the indirect dollars awarded in FY02. (Table IV) • Since FY99, the awarded indirect dollars for the School of Medicine has increased by over $12.7 million, the single largest dollar increase for any of the schools. Joint Departments had the second largest growth in indirect dollars since FY99 with an increase of $3.5 million. (Table IV) • The School of Medicine, the Joint Departments, the School of Optometry, and the Graduate School contribute the largest percentage of indirect dollars relative to full time faculty appointments.

Trends in Proposal Submission • The School of Medicine and the Joint Departments submitted the largest number of proposals this fiscal year (a total of 2,054) and had the largest amount of dollars requested ($985,591,363). This represented an 18.9% growth in dollars requested and a 6.4% growth in volume. The Joint Departments account for 9% of the full time faculty but 18.4% of the proposals submitted, 21.8% of the dollars requested, and 17.9% of the dollars awarded. (Tables V and VI) • Of the ten departments with the largest number of proposals submitted, seven were in the School of Medicine, two were in the Joint Departments, and one was in the School of Engineering. These ten departments account for 40% of all submissions. (Table VII) • The volume of proposals submitted rose from 2,761 last year to 2,878, a 4.2% increase. Since FY99, there has been a 12.5% increase in submissions. (Exhibit XXXVIII) • The volume of proposals submitted to non-federal sponsors rose from 1,011 in FY01 to 1,117 in FY02, an increase of 10.5%. The volume of proposals to the federal government rose slightly from 1,750 in FY01 to 1,761 in FY02. (Exhibit XXXVIII) • UAB faculty have a high success rate for the proposals submitted for extramural funding across all sponsor types. The highest rates of award versus proposals submitted are for proposals submitted to industry sponsors (88.3% awarded), the State of Alabama (77.1% awarded), and local agencies (70.8% awarded). These high rates probably result from the fact that proposals are rarely submitted to these sponsors without preliminary contacts having been made. The success rate of UAB proposals submitted to the federal government is an impressive 48.7%. The statistics quoted are for FY01, the latest year with complete data. The numbers do not include proposals for non-competing continuations, supplements, and revisions. (Table VIII) • Proposals to the DOD have increased by 42.8% over the past three years. This is the largest increase in proposal submission to any of UAB’s leading sponsors. (Table IX)
