研究 Foundation

The CSULB 研究 Foundation (研究 Foundation) was established in 1956 as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. The 研究 Foundation exists to enhance and advance the educational mission of CSULB. One of the many responsibilities of the 研究 Foundation is to provide accounting and administrative services for programs sponsored by federal, 状态, 当地的, and private funding used for 教师 research projects and training programs. This externally-sponsored research allows 教师 and students to engage in nationally-recognized scholarly endeavors, and is the cornerstone of CSULB’s academic excellence.

California State University, Long Beach 研究 Foundation serves the mission of the University by supporting and engaging in research, entrepreneurship, community service, sponsored programs and the acquisition of private resources.

Some of the services provided by the 研究 Foundation include financial services in the form of accounts payable, accounts receivable, asset management, 审计, banking and cashiering. Through our purchasing operation we work with vendors to secure products and services for use by our sponsored programs. We also provide legal and risk management services to programs administered through the 研究 Foundation as a means of minimizing exposure and shielding against liability. 最后, we provide human resources, payroll and employee benefit services to approximately 1,600 individuals annually. These are all necessary administrative components required to operate effectively, 安全, 和法律上.

The 研究 Foundation receives funding from a variety of federal, 状态, 当地的 and private agencies. As a self-supporting entity, the 研究 Foundation does not receive any 状态 General Fund revenue. Since most sponsored programs are funded on a cost reimbursement basis, the 研究 Foundation provides the necessary up-front capital to hire employees, purchase goods and services and anything else needed to allow a program to operate. After these expenses are incurred, the sponsoring agency is billed, and the 研究 Foundation is ultimately reimbursed for the expenses. With this structural support in place, professors engaged in research are better able to pursue their research endeavors.
