Procedure for Monitoring Grants Outside the U.S.:Schedule F, Part I, Line 2: Grants or other assistance are awarded to foreign organizations or entities pursuant to the University policies and procedures for all grant subawards. Such subawards are monitored through the University's Office for Sponsored Research (OSR) and the University's Office of Accounting Services for Research and Sponsored Programs (ASRSP). All subaward documentation including purchase orders, related charges and invoices are reviewed and monitored by ASRSP and confirmed with the principal investigator. The principal investigator must certify that the subaward costs are in accordance with OMB A-21 cost principles; also, ASRSP requests and collects audit reports from subaward recipients to monitor compliance. If the information is not furnished to ASRSP, payment may be withheld. Grants and other assistance are awarded to students on the basis of financial need following University policies developed to meet regulatory requirements (federal methodology) and guided by the College Board (institutional methodology). Merit scholarships are awarded based upon talent (eg, academic, music, and athletic). All of these awarded grants are allowed to be used by the students towards any type of costs; no subsequent monitoring is required.
Schedule F, Part I: The program services listed in Part I reflect international educational programs in which the University had material involvement in the design, development and/or control of the program and/or curriculum. While Northwestern University provides its students with access to a multitude of study abroad programs and exchanges located throughout the world, the University does not administer or operate the educational courses taught by all of these programs. Rather, under reciprocity and affiliation agreements, the University helps facilitate its student access to such international programs and recognizes credit earned by students at such foreign educational institutions, and such exchange programs are excluded from Schedule F, Part I. Under Northwestern University's current accounting procedures, all expenses associated with study abroad international programs are not separately tracked, and therefore some expenditures per program are not listed in Part I, column (f) of Schedule F. Schedule F, Part I, column(f), line 3: Expenditures reported in the Form 990, Schedule F, Part I are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. University activities are assigned a unique identifying number. Direct expenses are recorded with respect to each activity in the University's electronic financial recording system. Such direct expenses, for the relevant tax year, are reflected in column (f). Schedule F, Part II, line 1: In connection with the monitoring of subawards through OSR, approved purchase orders and invoices are documented and accounted for in the University's electronic financial recording system, and such amounts are reflected in Part II, line 1. Schedule F, Part II, line 3: Foreign recipient organizations without 501(c)(3) designation are universities, colleges, or hospitals. Schedule F, Part III, method used to report cash grants and column (c): Cash grants given to individuals are recorded in an electronic reporting tool. The data recorded includes information as to participation by undergraduate students in study abroad programming. Individual recipients of cash grants are coded with unique identifying numbers. Grants associated with undergraduate students coded as participating in a study abroad are reviewed to assess whether there is an overlap between the grant disbursement date and the dates of the applicable study abroad program. The number of such students, based on their unique identifying numbers, are summed and reflected in Part III, column (c).Schedule F

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 4The University made the following changes to its governing documents since the prior Form 990 was filed: (i) Upon reaching the age 70, an individual is no longer a voting member of the governing body; (ii) Faculty, staff and students may not become members of the governing body, but uncompensated lecturers are not prohibited from becoming members of the governing body; (iii) The Bylaws formalize a current practice by the Committee on Audit, whereby the Bylaws now state that such committee shall periodically review, and if necessary, recommend any changes to, the University's internal controls and compliance procedures; (iv) Prior Bylaws provided that special committees may be appointed by the Chairman of the Board, and there has been a long standing practice of maintaining a Committee on Compensation. Current Bylaws specifically call for a Committee on Compensation, which is appointed by the Chairman of the Board, consisting of five or more members. Such members shall continue to advise the Board of Trustees regarding the evaluation of the performance and compensation of the President and shall review and approve the compensation of the President, officers, and other designated individuals of the University.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11A hard copy of the University's final Form 990 (including all required schedules), was provided to each voting member of the University's governing body prior to filing. That version of the Form 990 is identical to the one ultimately filed with the IRS. Prior to providing a copy to the governing body, a draft of the Form 990 was reviewed by the Committee on Audit of the Board of Trustees, which is comprised of a subset of members from the governing body who review the accounting procedures and controls of the University.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cUniversity ByLaws and Statutes, which have been adopted by the Board of Trustees, require that any conflict of interest of any Trustee, Officer or their immediate families be disclosed to the Board of Trustees in writing. An Officer shall call any conflict of interest to the attention of the President. If the matter is being considered by the Board of Trustees or one of its committees, such Officer is not permitted to participate in or make recommendations about the conflict of interest under discussion, except to the extent the Officer is required by the Trustees or other officers to answer pertinent questions related to the conflict. A Trustee having a conflict of interest shall call it to the attention of the Board or committee and shall abstain on voting on the subject. The Trustee is encouraged to answer pertinent questions when the his/her knowledge of the subject will assist the Board or any of its committees. Potential conflicts of interest of Trustees and Officers are reviewed by the University's General Counsel. Pursuant to the University's staff and faculty Conflict of Interest Policies, employees are required to disclose potential conflicts of interest to the University on an annual basis. Employees receive annual reminders to complete a conflict of interest questionnaire and responses are submitted electronically and reviewed by each employee's supervisor. Potential conflicts are further reviewed by the University's Department of Human Resources and action taken by senior management as needed.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The Compensation Committee of the Board includes members of the University's governing body who are not related or controlled by the employees whose compensation they are reviewing. To assess the reasonableness of employee compensation, the Compensation Committee of the Board relies on formal surveys and comparability data prepared and compiled by outside consultants who have expertise in the field of executive compensation assessment and benchmarking. The Compensation Committee of the Board met in June 2010 to review and approve fiscal year 2011 (September 1, 2010 to August 31, 2011) salaries and met in June 2011 to review and approve fiscal year 2012 (September 1, 2011 to August 31, 2012) salaries. Actions undertaken by the Compensation Committee of the Board are contemporaneously documented in the minutes of each meeting. Compensation Committee of the Board reviewed and approved compensation of all current officers listed in Part VII, Section A.

Identification of Related Tax-Exempt OrganizationsSchedule R, Part IINorthwestern Medical Faculty Foundation is included as a "related organization" because under its current bylaws, its clinical department chairs comprise a majority of its directors. These individuals are also employed as chairs of the corresponding academic departments within the Feinberg School of Medicine of Northwestern University. However, the two organizations do not stand in the roles of parent and subsidiary. They are separate legal entities, and Northwestern Medical Faculty Foundation is not subject to control by Northwestern University or vice-versa.
