University of Colorado Boulder www.universityparent.com/colorado 15 Research funding for 2013–2014 includes a $5.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health for research by Leslie Leinwand, Ph.D., into cardiac myosin genes. She studies genetic mutations that cause severe genetic heart disease, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy — the leading cause of sudden death in young athletes. Sponsored research funding from federal, state, and local agencies targets specific projects to advance research in laboratories and in the field. Research funding also helps pay for researchrelated capital improvements, scientific equipment, travel, and salaries for research and support staff and student assistantships. CU cannot divert these dollars to fund non-research-related expenses such as utilities, compensation, student financial aid, or grounds maintenance. Much sponsored research funding is directed to departments and researchers with unique expertise, such as biotechnology and aerospace, which stimulates industry. Via the CU Technology Transfer Office, CU research commercialization has led to the formation of 141 companies since 1994; nine start-up companies were formed in fiscal year 2013–14. Source: CU System News Release (Jay Dedrick) CU-Boulder Awarded $412 Million for Sponsored Research in 2013–14 Initial estimates suggest that the University of Colorado Boulder was awarded approximately $412 million for sponsored research in 2013–2014, an increase of more than $60.2 million over the previous year. The increase came at an especially competitive time for research institutions given tightening federal budgets. Most sponsored research funding comes from federal agencies. 16 University of Colorado Boulder www.universityparent.com/colorado 17 Leinwand’s research opens the door to the possibility of personalized treatment for heart disease. She has shown that the mechanisms of heart disease differ between males and females and that the genetic risk of the disease is impacted by both gender and diet. Leinwand’s lab also has studied the blood of Burmese pythons, which has the unusual property of greatly increasing the size of the snake’s internal organs, including the heart, after a large meal, a feature that could also have implications for combating human heart disease. Her research has shown that this enlargement shares features with the response of the human heart to chronic exercise. CU-Boulder Biologist Leslie Leinwand Among the 204 new members of the academy, who were inducted at an October ceremony in Cambridge, Mass., are Nobel Prize-winning chemist Dan Shechtman, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ann Marie Lipinski, atmospheric scientist Inez Fung, novelist and screenwriter John Irving, actor and director Al Pacino, musician Ralph Stanley, and artist Kerry James Marshall. The full list of members is online at www.amacad.org/members.aspx. With Leinwand’s election, a total of 29 CU-Boulder faculty members have been inducted into the academy. The American Academy of Arts and Sciences was founded in 1780, and members have included George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Daniel Webster, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Albert Einstein, and Winston Churchill.

Leinwand — chief scientific officer for CU-Boulder’s BioFrontiers Institute and a professor of molecular, cellular, and developmental biology — is an expert in cardiovascular disease. “Her election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences is an outstanding recognition of Leslie’s scientific contributions to understanding the biology of the heart,” said BioFrontiers Institute Director Tom Cech. 18 “Leslie has made a career of fearlessly and creatively approaching challenges, like heart disease, by searching for answers beyond her field and beyond what we think could be possible,” said Cech, also a distinguished professor of chemistry and biochemistry. “This unique view of science also is giving the students in her lab and in her classroom the tools and perspectives they will need to solve the biomedical challenges of the future.” University of Colorado Boulder www.universityparent.com/colorado 19 Nationally-Recognized Programs U.S. News & World Report Ranks CU-Boulder Second in World in Geosciences The University of Colorado Boulder was recently ranked second in the world in geosciences by U.S. News & World Report.

Globally, more than 650 institutions voluntarily participate. CU-Boulder was the first in the nation to rate gold in 2010, the inaugural year of STARS, which issues ratings on a three-year basis. To date, no campus has achieved a platinum rating — the highest possible level. www.universityparent.com/colorado “Our cross-campus sustainability efforts in curriculum, research, recycling, community engagement, and in our new — as well as renovated — state-of-the-art facilities makes the University of Colorado Boulder a model in sustainability.” – CU-Boulder Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano 23 “Our cross-campus sustainability efforts in curriculum, research, recycling, community engagement, and in our new — as well as renovated — state-of-the-art facilities makes the University of Colorado Boulder a model in sustainability,” said CU-Boulder Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano. “I’m pleased the STARS rating confirms our leadership.” To ensure a concise and comprehensive report, CU-Boulder enlisted the help of a third-party reviewer to affirm its 2014 filing — a first ever among institutions participating in STARS and a move deemed “innovative” by the STARS organization. The review, conducted by Philadelphiabased Sustrana, a sustainability consulting firm, resulted in the addition of information to the report as well as the identification of ways CU-Boulder could advance its green practices. “We really appreciate how thorough and exacting the review was,” said Dave Newport, director of CU’s Environmental Center and coordinator of CU-Boulder’s STARS reporting effort. “The process of working with Sustrana shed light on upgrades we could make and new practices to aspire to in order to reach a variety of our sustainability goals.” 24 CU-Boulder’s latest gold rating comes even after STARS was revised in recent years to be more stringent, according to Newport. For the complete report visit stars.aashe. org/institutions/university-of-colorado-atboulder-co/report/2070. Highlights of CUBoulder’s STARS gold rating include: • Nearly a quarter of all courses at CU-Boulder contain sustainability content. Some of those courses focus entirely on sustainability. • Numerous classes use the campus as a living sustainability laboratory, studying food and dining services, air quality, climate action, health and wellness, green building, energy systems, sustainable transportation, water, and zero-waste efforts at CU-Boulder. • • Two-thirds of campus academic departments have faculty who conduct sustainability research, over 330 faculty do nothing but sustainability research, and geoscience research alone brings in more than $100 million a year in grants from the National Science Foundation and other funders.

They learn about city ordinances, while also being encouraged to get to know their neighbors and to treat their new community with respect. “For many students, moving off campus represents the first time they are living on their own, dealing with leases, and learning what it means to be part of a larger community,” said Susan Stafford, director of the Off-Campus Housing and Neighborhood Relations office. “We see this orientation program as one way to help our students be positive members of the community.” Representatives from the city and university constantly work together to find ways to make Boulder a welcoming community for all, and the Larry Abernathy Award recognizes that commitment, said Jennifer Korbelik, Boulder’s community coordinator. www.universityparent.com/colorado “Securing your first apartment and the responsibility that comes with that is a big step for students moving off campus, and our goal is to help students make a smooth transition into the community and all that is expected as a responsible Boulderite,” Korbelik said. “The move-in orientation program does just that, and we are thrilled with the results. This program is a perfect example of our university, city, and community partnership at work.” CU-Boulder Today (Greg Swenson) “This program is a perfect example of our university, city, and community partnership at work.” 27 Amazing Students CU-Boulder Freshman Class Sets Record for Academic Qualifications and Diversity Last fall, The University of Colorado Boulder welcomed a freshman class of 5,869 students and in the process achieved the most academically qualified and diverse incoming class in the campus’s history. “Our efforts in recent years to improve the academic rigor at CU-Boulder are paying off with the most academically qualified class we’ve ever seen,” said CU-Boulder Chancellor Philip P.
