FOURTH TRIENNIAL KANSAS CITY AREA LIFE SCIENCES INDUSTRY CENSUS. THE KANSAS CITY AREA LIFE SCIENCES INSTITUTE (KCALSI) HAS COLLECTED REGIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE LIFE SCIENCE INDUSTRY FOR OVER 10 YEARS AND PUBLISHED THE 4TH CENSUS IN JANUARY 2013. OUR CENSUS IS USED BY UNIVERSITIES, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS, INDUSTRIES AND ELECTED OFFICIALS TO UNDERSTAND THE GROWTH AND IMPACT THE LIFE SCIENCE INDUSTRY IS HAVING IN THE GREATER KANSAS CITY REGION. THE CENSUS IS AVAILABLE FOR ANYONE TO DOWNLOAD FROM OUR WEBSITE HTTP://WWW.KCLIFESCIENCES.ORG/NEWS/INDUSTRY-CENSUS/. HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE CENSUS REVEALED A 17% INCREASE IN LIFE SCIENCE COMPANIES FROM 2009 THROUGH 2012 AND A 21% INCREASE IN EMPLOYMENT AMID A TIME OF SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC STAGNATION IN THE UNITED STATES. THE MOST RAPIDLY GROWING SECTOR, MEDICAL DEVICES, SHOWED A 39% INCREASE IN COMPANIES IN THE PAST 3 YEARS AND 82% INCREASE IN THE PAST 6 YEARS. THE CENSUS ALSO HIGHLIGHTED THE IMPORTANCE OF THE 11 REGIONAL INCUBATORS TO OUR INDUSTRY GROWTH. OF 67 NEW COMPANIES SINCE 2009, 30 OF THE COMPANIES ARE LOCATED IN THE INCUBATORS. 2. BIORESEARCH CENTRAL A STUDY, COMMISSIONED BY THE KANSAS BIOSCIENCE AUTHORITY, KANSASBIO, KCALSI AND KCADC, ILLUSTRATED THAT THE GREATER KANSAS CITY REGION IS HOME TO OVER 90 CONTRACT RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS (CROS) AND CONTRACT SERVICE PROVIDERS (CSPS), EMPLOYING OVER 9,000 EMPLOYEES AND GENERATING OVER $1 BILLION IN ANNUAL REVENUE. A SECOND STUDY, CONDUCTED BY THE TUFTS UNIVERSITY CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF DRUG DEVELOPMENT (THE PREMIER PHARMACEUTICAL BENCHMARKING INSTITUTION) CATEGORIZED THE GREATER KC REGION AS TOP 5 IN THE US IN EXPERTISE AND TOP 15 IN THE US IN SIZE. THE SECOND ANNUAL SUMMIT FOR THE REGIONAL CRO/CSP INDUSTRY WAS HELD IN NOVEMBER 2013 WITH BI-STATE SUPPORT FROM KCALSI, KANSASBIO AND MOBIO. OVER 180 PEOPLE ATTENDED THE SYMPOSIUM THAT ALSO FEATURED 40 INDUSTRY EXHIBITORS. ADDITIONALLY, NETWORKING EVENTS AND TRAINING PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR FUNCTION TO COALESCE THE NETWORK AND CREATE AN INFRASTRUCTURE THAT ACCELERATES REGIONAL DRUG AND MEDICAL DEVICE DEVELOPMENT. KCALSI HAS TAKEN A LEADING ROLE IN FACILITATING BIORESEARCH CENTRAL ADVISORY BOARD MEETINGS, NETWORKING EVENTS AND ENSURING OPERATIONAL SUCCESS FOR THE PROGRAM. 3. FUNDING MISSOURI TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION KCALSI AND SEVERAL OF OUR STRATEGIC PARTNERS HAVE BEEN WORKING TO DEVELOP SUSTAINABLE FUNDING FOR THE MISSOURI TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION (MTC) WHICH PLAYS A ROLE SIMILAR TO THE KANSAS BIOSCIENCE AUTHORITY (KBA) FOR KANSAS. IN 2012 WE DEVELOPED AND ADVOCATED FOR THE PASSAGE OF MOSIRA. UNFORTUNATELY THE MISSOURI STATE SUPREME COURT DECLARED THE BILL UNCONSTITUTIONAL DUE TO A TECHNICAL DETAIL THE LINKAGE TO ANOTHER BILL THAT DID NOT PASS. IN 2013, THE COALITION FOCUSED ON DIRECTLY FUNDING THE MISSOURI TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION THROUGH THE MISSOURI LEGISLATURE. FUNDING IS CRITICAL TO THE LONG-TERM SUCCESS OF MISSOURI IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIALIZATION OF LIFE SCIENCE INNOVATIONS. 4. PCORI WORKING GROUP - OUTCOMES RESEARCH DR. PATRICK JAMES AND KEITH GARY CONVENED A BROAD GROUP OF ORGANIZATIONS WITH INTERESTS IN OUTCOMES RESEARCH TO DISCUSS A REGIONAL APPROACH TO COMPETING FOR FUNDING FROM THE PATIENT CENTERED OUTCOMES RESEARCH INSTITUTE (PCORI). THERE WAS AGREEMENT ON EXPLORING STRATEGIES FOR LEVERAGING LOCAL OUTCOMES RESEARCH ASSETS IN CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE INTO A SIGNIFICANT INFRASTRUCTURE CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING OUTCOMES RESEARCH IN A MUCH BROADER RANGE OF DISEASE CONDITIONS. KCALSI IS FACILITATING THE PROCESS AND ORGANIZED A WORKING GROUP COMPRISED OF REPRESENTATIVE STAKEHOLDERS IN OUTCOMES RESEARCH, IT, AND INSURERS. THE GROUP PROPOSED TWO INITIAL PILOT PROJECTS, 1) CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE AND 2) BACK PAIN. 5. KCALSI'S RESEARCH GRANT PROGRAMS KCALSI HAS ADMINISTERED RESEARCH GRANTS FOR SEVERAL YEARS. APPLICANTS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY RECEIVE FUNDING OR NOT, RECEIVE PEER-REVIEWED FEEDBACK THAT IS USED TO IMPROVE FUTURE GRANT APPLICATIONS. THIS IS HIGHLY VALUED BY OUR STAKEHOLDERS. FROM 2007 TO 2012, KCALSI GRANT PROGRAMMING HAS MANAGED 44 GRANTS TOTALING $2,200,144 MILLION, WHICH ENABLED AREA RESEARCHERS TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPETE FOR $14,674,319 MILLION IN ADDITIONAL FUNDING REPRESENTING OVER A 6.7:1 RETURN ON INVESTMENT. IMPORTANTLY, GRANTS TOTALING AN ADDITIONAL $16,805,709 MILLION ARE CURRENTLY WAITING FOR FINAL FUNDING DECISIONS. KCALSI FUNDED INVESTIGATORS MADE A TOTAL OF 66 RESEARCH PRESENTATIONS OF THEIR PROJECTS, BOTH NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY, AND PUBLISHED 54 JOURNAL ARTICLES IN A BROAD RANGE OF SCIENTIFIC, PEER-REVIEWED JOURNALS. KCALSI PARTNERED WITH BLUE CROSS AND BLUE SHIELD OF KANSAS CITY TO MANAGE ITS "BLUE KC HEALTH OUTCOMES RESEARCH GRANTS." KCALSI ISSUED THE RFP, CONDUCTED THOROUGH REVIEWS OF ALL PROPOSALS AND AWARDED FOUR $50,000 GRANTS IN MARCH 2013. PAUL PATTON CHARITABLE TRUST GRANTS FOR PEDIATRIC RESEARCH PROVIDED FOUR $50,000 GRANTS FOR 2013. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A (CONTINUED) 6. COMMITMENT TO THE KC CHAMBER'S 5 BIG IDEAS FOR THE REGION KCALSI HAS WORKED FOR MORE THAN 14 YEARS TO ADVANCE OUR REGIONAL LIFE SCIENCES. WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE SEVERAL OF OUR REGULAR PROGRAM ACTIVITIES INTEGRATED IN THE KANSAS CITY CHAMBER'S "BIG 5." SPECIFICALLY, THREE OF THE BIG 5 FALL SQUARELY IN PRIORITIES WHEREIN WE CONTINUE TO ADVANCE KEY PROGRAMS: 1) GROWING KANSAS CITY'S MEDICAL RESEARCH, 2) A WORLD SYMPOSIUM ON ANIMAL HEALTH, 3) MAKING KANSAS CITY AMERICA'S MOST ENTREPRENEURIAL CITY. GROWING KANSAS CITY'S MEDICAL RESEARCH A. NCI DESIGNATION WAS RECEIVED IN JULY 2012 AND WAS A SIGNIFICANT REGIONAL WIN FOR HEALTH CARE, CANCER RESEARCH AND PATIENTS EVERYWHERE. B. LEVERAGING THE $20 MILLION NIH CLINICAL AND TRANSLATIONAL SCIENCE AWARD GRANT TO FRONTIERS: THE HEARTLAND INSTITUTE FOR CLINICAL AND TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH BASED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MEDICAL CENTER INVOLVES 3 MEDICAL CENTERS, 10 HEALTH SYSTEMS AND 15 COMMUNITY PARTNERS. THIS IS A UNIQUE, BI-STATE COLLABORATION LED BY RICHARD J. BAROHN, MD, AND LAUREN S. AARONSON, PHD RN FAAN, THAT INCLUDES SEVERAL KCALSI STAKEHOLDERS AND SERVES AS A FOUNDATION FOR GROWING THIS SECTOR. KCALSI ALSO PRESENTS AN ANNUAL HUMAN TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM WITH FRONTIER LEADERS. C. DEVELOPING A FUNDING MECHANISM TO SUPPORT A WORLD-CLASS INSTITUTE FOR TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE (ITM). THE ITM IS ENVISIONED AS A WORLD-CLASS SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ORGANIZATION THAT WILL TRANSLATE BASIC RESEARCH DISCOVERIES INTO CLINICAL APPLICATIONS AND COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS. IT WILL BUILD UPON THE ONGOING REGIONAL EFFORT AND EXPAND, BUT NOT DUPLICATE, CURRENT CAPABILITIES. ECONOMIC MODELING WAS COMPLETED IN 2013 AND DEMONSTRATED THAT THE ITM WOULD CREATE OVER 550 DIRECT AND INDIRECT JOBS WITH THE TOTAL ECONOMIC IMPACT EXCEEDING $1 BILLION IN THE FIRST 10 YEARS INCLUDING CONSTRUCTION. WORKING WITH THE KANSAS CITY CIVIC COUNCIL, ELECTED OFFICIALS AND OUR STAKEHOLDERS WE SUCCESSFULLY BROUGHT A PROPOSAL TO FUND THE ITM IN JACKSON COUNTY FOR A VOTE IN NOVEMBER 2013. UNFORTUNATELY WE WERE UNSUCCESSFUL IN CONVINCING VOTERS TO ACCEPT A TAX TO FUND THE ITM. SINCE THE VOTE, WE CONTINUE TO HAVE BROAD SUPPORT OF THE CONCEPT FOR THE KANSAS CITY REGION AND ARE DEVELOPING A STRATEGY TARGETED TO PHILANTHROPY. D. COORDINATING REGIONAL TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE MEETINGS OF ALL STAKEHOLDERS TO INITIATE SCIENTIFIC NETWORKING AND COLLABORATION. THE FIRST MEETING WAS HOSTED IN COLUMBIA, MO BY THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI IN APRIL 2013. A WORLD SYMPOSIUM ON ANIMAL HEALTH AFTER EXTENSIVE ANALYSIS, THERE WAS AGREEMENT THAT A WORLD SYMPOSIUM FOR ANIMAL HEALTH WOULD NOT SIGNIFICANTLY ADD TO THE EXISTING ANNUAL ANIMAL HEALTH EVENTS IN KANSAS CITY. IN 2014, WE PLAN TO IMPROVE INTEGRATION OF THE KCALSI ANIMAL HEALTH RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM WITH THE CENTRAL VETERINARY CONFERENCE, TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER EVENT, CORRIDOR HOMECOMING AND INVESTMENT FORUM ACTIVITIES IN KC TO BUILD ATTENDANCE AND NATIONAL INTEREST TO TRAVEL TO KC. MAKING KANSAS CITY, "AMERICA'S MOST ENTREPRENEURIAL CITY" -SPRINT ACCELERATOR: IN 2013, SPRINT AND TECHSTARS ANNOUNCED THE LAUNCH OF THE SPRINT ACCELERATOR FOCUSING ON MOBILE HEALTH APPS IN THE CROSSROADS. WE ARE ACTING AS MENTORS IN THE ACCELERATOR AND ENGAGING OUR STAKEHOLDER COMMUNITY TO SUPPORT THE STARTUPS IN THE ACCELERATOR. -ENTREPRENEURIAL NETWORKS: KCALSI HELPS PROMOTE AND CONDUCT NETWORKING ACTIVITIES WITH THE 11 REGIONAL INCUBATORS AND THE MEDICAL DEVICE NETWORK TO SUPPORT OUR ENTREPRENEURIAL ECOSYSTEM. 7. DIGITAL SANDBOX THE GOAL OF THE DIGITAL SANDBOX IS TO SIGNIFICANTLY ACCELERATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF IT-ORIENTED STARTUPS IN KANSAS CITY, WHERE IT IS ALREADY A MAJOR ECONOMIC ENGINE. THE PROJECT IS DEVELOPING 12 NEW COMPANIES THAT HAVE SECURED EQUITY INVESTMENT OF MORE THAN $7,000,000. UMKC PARTNERED WITH PRIVATE SECTOR COMPANIES WHO ARE CONTRIBUTING FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES, INCLUDING SPRINT, HALLMARK, VML, RAREWIRE, CERNER, SPARKLABKC AND UMB. KCALSI IS A KEY PARTNER PARTICIPATING IN THE DIGITAL SANDBOX. THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION $1 M GRANT WAS MATCHED WITH $500,000 FROM MTC AND $500,000 IN CASH AND IN-KIND FROM INDUSTRY PARTNERS. WITHIN THE FIRST 11 MONTHS OF THE PROGRAM LAUNCH, DIGITAL SANDBOX HAS: - REVIEWED OVER 150+ COMPANIES FOR PROJECT FUNDING - ALLOCATED PROJECT FUNDING OF OVER $700,000 ACROSS 37 KC METRO START-UPS - EXCEEDED ITS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION GRANT OBJECTIVES - PROVIDED ENTREPRENEURIAL TRAINING/EDUCATION TO OVER 200 PEOPLE 8. HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING AND BIOINFORMATICS ASSESSMENT KCALSI FACILITATED DEVELOPMENT OF A BUSINESS PLAN FOR THE MID-CONTINENT ADVANCED COMPUTING CONSORTIUM AT THE REQUEST OF OUR INSTITUTIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE. PARTNERS IN THE EFFORT INCLUDE THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI SYSTEM, KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY AND THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS. AS POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES FOR THE PROJECT, THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI SUBMITTED AN EPSCOR TRACK I PROPOSAL TO THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION AND THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS SUBMITTED AN EPSCOR TRACK II PROPOSAL THAT INCLUDED THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI. WHILE NEITHER PROPOSAL WAS FUNDED, A SIGNIFICANTLY REVISED TRACK 1 PROPOSAL WAS SUBMITTED AND IS PENDING REVIEW. ADDITIONALLY, KCALSI ADMINISTERED A BIOINFORMATICS ASSET MAPPING PROJECT THAT WAS FUNDED BY THE KAUFFMAN FOUNDATION. THE FOCUS OF THE PROJECT WAS TO QUANTIFY THE BIOINFORMATICS RESOURCES IN THE REGION, BENCHMARK WITH OTHER REGIONS, AND IDENTIFY SIGNIFICANT STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN BIOINFORMATICS INFRASTRUCTURE. THE FINAL REPORT WAS COMPLETED IN APRIL 2013 AND PUBLISHED ON OUR WEBSITE. IN THE 4TH QUARTER WE RE-ENGAGED THE STAKEHOLDERS IN THE PROJECT TO PRIORITIZE ACTIONS AND IMPROVE REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY IN BIOINFORMATICS. KCALSI HAS SHARED ONGOING PROGRESS RELATED TO THE HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING INITIATIVE IN TESTIMONY TO THE KANSAS LEGISLATURE'S VISION 2020 COMMITTEE. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A (CONTINUED) 9.
