Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used All grant recipients are required to submit an annual report detailing the results of the project funded and expenditures incurred. These reports are reviewed and monitored by staff and scientific advisors. Any inconsistencies or late reports are reported to Management for resolution. true X X X X X true false false false false false false false false false GARY MUENZEL CFO UNTIL FEB14 143998 15970 159968 KATHLEEN RUDDY CEO 228796 17500 246296 REBECCA WEAVER CHIEF PHILANTHR 150226 17179 167405 Robert Arceci MD Board Member 1875000 Grant Cancer Research Schedule L, Part V Supplemental Information Bob Arceci, M.D. of Phoenix Children's Hospital is principle investigator for a consortium grant made to a group of six research institutions for a grant entitled "Pathway Directed Treatment for Refractory AML." He is one of twelve researchers included in the budget of this project. This grant was awarded through the St. Baldrick's Foundation's normal scientific review process. Three childhood cancer research experts review each application, and reviewers cannot be from the same institution as the applicant (in the case of a consortium grant, this includes all of the participating institutions) and cannot have a personal relationship or other conflict of interest with the applicant or project. Each reviewer answers a standard set of questions and gives the application a score, using the NIH (National Institutes of Health) rating system. Once all three reviewers have scored an application, they may discuss any differences or concerns they have with each other. Applications with scores that are widely divergent or are close to the expected funding cut-off are discussed in a committee made up of all the reviewers for applications in this grant category, and each participating committee member gives the application a score at the end of that discussion. The average score is used for final funding recommendations. The board of directors votes to approve grants above a specific score, depending on funds available. Dr. Arceci recused himself from the board discussion involving his funding category, and a former board member and researcher answered all questions at the board meeting regarding that funding category. Dr. Arceci also recused himself from the board's vote on this funding category.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key Employees The compensation committee reviews the Executive Director's job performance and accomplishments against the related goals and performance expectations set every year. Any salary adjustment is forwarded to the entire Board as a recommendation and requires approval from the Board of Directors. Additionally, the Chief Financial Officer's compensation is reviewed annually by the Executive Director and the Compensation Committee. Any adjustment to the Chief Financial Officer's compensation is also forwarded to the entire Board as a recommendation and requires approval from the Board of Directors.

In FY 2014, grants were awarded in the following categories:Scholars - $6,026,321Consortium Research Grants - $4,040,868Fellowships - $2,007,994Infrastructure - $2,292,113International Scholars - $330,000Research Grants - $900,000Pediatric Dream Team - $1,875,000Summer Fellows - $105,000Supportive Care Research - $150,000COG - $7,543,708GENIUS - $610,000These categories were created both to advance research and to respond to the ever-worsening level of federal research, and the need to increase pediatric cancer funding from industry. These needs, unique to the pediatric cancer population prioritize the funding of clinical trials, building the capacity of institutions to participate in research and make the best therapies available to their patients, educating the next generation of researcher, translating research done in a lab to actual patients, and new discovery research. The Foundation also addresses the widely unmet research needs of adolescent and young adult patients, as well as improving the quality of life of survivors as 95% of survivors will have a chronic health problem by the age of 45 as a result of treatment during childhood, and on improving the quality of life during treatment, including symptom management, family coping skills and compliance with therapy. As a result of our efforts, numerous findings and publications have occurred, as well as significant advancements in treatment including:A new cure for Neuroblastoma, raising survival from 33% to 50%Tumor paint is being developed to help surgeons see cancerous tissue that might otherwise remain undetected, while doing surgery.An improved cure rate for most common type of childhood cancer, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, from 80% to 90% survival.Raising cure rate from 20% to 70% for a rare type of childhood cancer, Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.For childhood cancers that are both difficult to cure and uncommon, many research institutions have not been able to devote the resources necessary to open important clinical trials. And our 2012 grant to the Childrens Oncology Group (COG) directly resulted in 130 research institutions opening four of these high-impact studies. Together with Stand Up to Cancer, St. Baldricks has also funded the worlds first pediatric cancer dream team with a grant of $14.5 million over four years. St. Baldricks commitment is $7.5 million for this grant which will combat four of the most difficult to cure cancers high-risk neuroblastoma, sarcomas, brain tumors, acute myeloid leukemia, and refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The 7 institutions comprising this team are bringing together two scientific areas that have, until now, been evolving on parallel tracks: genomics (the study of genes and their functions) and immunotherapeutics (using the bodys own immune system to attack cancer).
