This is because resources from industry, philanthropy, and other sources are not usually reported to federal agencies unless such reporting is required for matching purposes and because in some cases federal agencies cannot require the provision of funds from the private sector or from state and local government to be a condition of making an award. This chapter provides some examples of each category of nonfederal support for federal research projects, with a number of additional examples described briefly in Appendix A (many more exist that the committee could not document in the short time it had to gather information)

Voluntary Cost Sharing Required of Awardees by Awardees Agency Level III. Nonfederal Funding Secured IV.Nonfederal Funding Volunteered by Federal Agency to Federal Agency COST SHARING OR MATCHING REQUIRED OF AWARDEES In federal parlance, cost sharing usually is defined as an arrangement in which a portion of a federal project's or program's costs are not borne by the federal government.

This cost sharing is not included in the budget or accounted for by the awardee institution, which reduces the administrative burden on both the grantee and CDMRP.2 It is expected, however, that grantee institutions will share 50 percent of the cost of equipment purchased for a research proposal when individual equipment costs are equal to or exceed $5,000. 110 CFR Part 605, Office of Energy Research Financial Assistance Program, Section 605.13, Cost Sharing.

Other NSF programs require cost sharing. They include center programs, such as Science and Technology Centers (30 percent)

, a new initiative aimed at combining the basic research skills within academic institutions, the scientific expertise of industry, the interests of disease-oriented charities and nonprofit groups, and the administrative support, resources, and discovery and development expertise of NCI. The purpose of establishing academic-public-private partnerships is to conduct novel cancer therapeutic, prevention, diagnostic, and imaging research to hasten the translation of research findings into clinical trials.

It calls for collaborative partnerships between government and the private sector to further develop alreadyidentified products against NIAID Category A, B, and C high-priority pathogens and all stages of product development against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) , including vaccines, adjuvants, therapeutics, diagnostics, and research resources.6 Cost Sharing by Universities and Other Recipient Research Institutions Grantee institutions already share costs to the extent that indirect cost recovery does not cover the full expenses of research.7 OMB caps administrative costs, and some federal R&D programs do not pay the full indirect cost rate.

awarded five cooperative agreements for Collaborative Technology Alliances in the areas of advanced sensors, power and energy, advanced decision architecture, communications and networks, and robotics.8 These five-year awards of $35 million each included an option of $20 million in additional funding for three more years. Each alliance is a consortium whose members have signed Articles of Collaboration.

For this initiative, which is primarily a costsharing program, industrial sponsors must match the federal funding share by contributing at least half of the total amount of funds. There also is a requirement for repayment from commercially successful technologies that result from the effort, which will be used to fund additional clean coal research.

Pooling of Federal and Nonfederal Funds NIH provides the best example of a case in which private funds have been added to federal funds for a program of research grants. Private organizations that fund medical research are aware that NIH is authorized by the Public Health Service Act to receive conditional gifts, or contributions, for specific purposes.12 The Office of the General Counsel of the Department of Health and Human Services has determined, however, that although this authority provides a mechanism to NIH for accepting funds from outside sources, NIH employees may not actively solicit funds to augment appropriated funds.13 NIH instead has begun working through the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH)

Osteoarthritis Initiative Public-Private Consortium The Osteoarthritis Initiative is a joint venture of NIH and pharmaceutical companies to pool funds and expertise for a public repository of osteoarthritis patient data, radiological information, and biological specimens. Scientists will be able to use this public resource to test much-needed biochemical and imaging markers of disease onset and progression, to further the development of osteoarthritis drugs, and to improve public health.

This ultimately will facilitate clinical trials of promising agents. Four clinical centers and a data coordinating center were chosen after competitive peer review in July 2002 of applications submitted in response to two Requests for Proposals Applications (RFPs)
