Mission DescriptionGenerally, SURA's purpose is to serve as an entity by which colleges, universities and other organizations may cooperate with one another and with government in acquiring, developing, and using laboratories, and other research facilities, and otherwise in furthering knowledge and the application of that knowledge in the physical, biological, and other natural sciences and engineering. Specifically, this includes the design, construction, management, and operations of the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (one of the Department of Energy Office of Science's 10 national laboratories), and the collaborations to propose, and subsequently conduct, scientific research under federal agency sponsorship.MissionDescription

DescriptionThe Southeastern Universities Research Association, Inc. (SURA) was established in 1980 as a nonprofit association of a select group of research universities with the objective of proffering a plan for the construction of a national continuous electron beam accelerator facility (CEBAF). Ultimately, SURA was selected in a national competition by the Department of Energy to design, build, and operate CEBAF as an experimental nuclear physics facility in Newport News, Virginia. Today, SURA has over 60 universities, predominantly in the southeast, organized to promote cooperative activities for scientific and engineering purposes, to foster excellence in scientific research, to strengthen the scientific and technical capabilities of the nation, and to provide training opportunities for scientists and engineers. CEBAF, renamed the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, or Jefferson Lab, is one of the US Department of Energy Office of Science's 10 national laboratories. SURA has been responsible for the management and operations (M&O) contract for the Jefferson lab since its plan for CEBAF was selected in 1983. SURA partnered with Computer Sciences Corporation/Applied Technology to form Jefferson Science Associates, LLC (JSA), which was competitively awarded the contract for the management and operations of the Jefferson Lab in April 2006. As the M&O contractor, JSA has oversight responsibility for Jefferson Lab operations including over 700 employees, ~ $125 million annual operating budget, and ~ $400 million in facility upgrades that will double the accelerator's energy and provide a new technology and engineering center that involves the addition of approximately 100,000 SF of industrial assembly, laboratory, and office space and renovation of the existing production facility. JSA is organized as a limited liability company and is governed by an operating agreement that limits activities exclusively to those having charitable, scientific, and educational purposes and a primary mission to perform the DOE Jefferson Lab M&O contract. SURA is the 60% majority owner and controlling administrative and tax member of JSA, and CSC/Applied Technologies LLC (CSC) is the 40% minority member. As part of JSA's management and operations responsibilities, SURA provides oversight of the scientific mission of the Jefferson Lab with assistance from faculty experts from its members and other universities. SURA also operates a 42-room Residence Facility on its property adjacent to the Jefferson Lab campus. Originally constructed in partnership with the City of Newport News, the guest house accommodates scientists and researchers who need housing while conducting their research at the Lab. In addition to its work with the Jefferson lab, SURA directs intramural scientific research activities through collaborations with its member universities, government agencies, and other researchers working to advance and exploit the transformative nature of information technology on the regional, national and international fronts, and facilitating a better understanding of coastal, ocean and environmental phenomena that plays a prominent role in our lives.Description

ExplanationFASB ASC 740-10-25 requires that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a 'more-likely-than-not' threshold for positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. SURA has adopted this guidance for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. SURA's accounting policy for evaluating uncertain tax positions is to recognize tax positions if they are probable of being ultimately realized. SURA does not believe there are any unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities that should be recorded.Explanation

General Explanation GeneralExplanation (5 entries)

IdentifierIdentifierExplanationExplanation
Form 990, Part VI, Lines 6 and 7SURA is organized as a non-stock, non-profit corporation and has three categories of members: Standard Member, Corporate Member, and Affiliate Member. Standard members are institutions of higher learning or other complementary organizations that are tax exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and desire full participation in SURA's activities and support the goals of the corporation. Each standard member has one vote and is represented both on the Council of Presidents, which provides overall direction and leadership to the corporation, and the Board of Trustees which manages the funds and business of the corporation. Corporate members are for-profit entities which desire participation in some or all of the programmatic activities of the organization and support the goals of the corporation. There are three classes of corporate membership: A (gold), B (silver) and C (small business). Each Class A (gold) member has one vote and is represented on the Council of Presidents and the Board of Trustees. Class B (silver) and Class C (small business) members may attend the Board of Trustees meetings by invitation and may participate in programmatic activities as permitted by policy. Class B and Class C members may not vote on matters in which Members are entitled to vote and are not represented on the Council of Presidents and Board of Trustees. Affiliate members are non profit entities which desire participation in one of SURA's programmatic activities and support the goals of the corporation. Affiliate members may attend the Board of Trustees meetings by invitation and may participate in programmatic activities as permitted by policy. Affiliate members may not vote on matters in which Members are entitled to vote and are not represented on the Council of Presidents and the Board of Trustees. Standard members and Corporate Class A (gold) members are admitted to the corporation by the affirmative vote of the Council of Presidents. Corporate Class B (silver), Corporate Class C (small business), and Affiliate members are admitted to the corporation by the affirmative vote of the Board of Trustees.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 11The CFO is responsible for assembling all information required to complete the form 990 which is ultimately prepared and reviewed by the organization's independent accounting firm KPMG. A final review of the form 990 is then conducted first by the CEO and then by the chair of the SURA Finance Committee on behalf of the Board. Prior to submission of the form 990 to the IRS, an information copy is made available to the SURA Board of trustees. A permanent file copy for public access is provided to the Corporate Secretary.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 12cIt is SURA's policy that trustees, officers, committee members, staff, volunteers and others while acting on behalf of SURA, must avoid conflicts of interest. Even appearance of a conflict of interest must be avoided. Monitoring compliance with this policy is accomplished through a "mandatory conflict of interest disclosure policy" which requires that all board of trustees, officers, senior staff as designated by the president, and other specific individuals who may be considered to be "disqualified persons" under Federal Regulation 53.4958-3 sign and submit on an annual basis a mandatory disclosure statement to the Corporate Secretary. The Corporate Secretary is responsible for monitoring and administering the conflicts of interest policy and is responsible for maintaining and annually updating disclosure statements. Disclosure statements are distributed annually and second notices are sent to non respondents during the year. If the Corporate Secretary, in consultation with legal counsel, determines that a conflict of interest exists, the individual must not participate in the deliberations, consideration or vote in the transaction or matter at issue. A notation is made in the minutes of any meeting at which such deliberation, consideration or vote in the transaction or matter at issue is undertaken indicating that the individual with a conflict or potential conflict was excused from the meeting, did not take part in any discussions pertaining to the transaction or matter, and refrained from voting on the transaction or matter.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 15The SURA Board of Trustees appoints a Compensation Committee (Committee) consisting of the chair and vice chair of the Council of Presidents, the chair and past chair of the Board of Trustees, and the chair of the Finance Committee. The Committee is an independent body responsible for compensation review and approval of, or transactions with, SURA's top management officials, officers, and key employees in accordance with SURA's compensation policy and intermediate sanctions compliance policy. The deliberations and decisions of the Committee are facilitated and contemporaneously documented by the SURA director of administration and human resource services. Each year the Committee reviews compensation survey reports from independent compensation consultants to obtain appropriate benchmarking data for organizations comparable to SURA. Approximately every three years, the Committee engages through a competitive procurement process a professional compensation consulting firm to obtain additional data that includes compensation levels and other consideration paid by similarly situated organizations, both taxable and tax-exempt, for functionally comparable positions or transactions. Other factors considered by the consultant review include the location of the other organizations relative to SURA's location, the availability of similar specialties in the geographic area, independent compensation surveys by nationally recognized independent firms The Committee considers the compensation data form independent reports and from its consultants in its deliberations to establish the salary range and specific salary of the SURA president. The Committee also uses the independent compensation data in its review and approval of the president's salary range recommendations for other corporate officers and key employees. The most recent compensation study was performed in 2010 by Mercer, LLC, a nationally recognized compensation and benefits consulting firm.
Form 990, Part VI, Line 19SURA's governing documents (e.g. bylaws and board resolutions) and the most recent prior two years audited consolidated statements of financial position are available to the public via SURA's web site @ www.sura.org. In addition, SURA's conflict of interest policy, as well as, other governance and corporate related policies are readily accessible @ www.sura.org/staff.
