Information
Organization's Own Description:
San José State University Research Foundation is one of the oldest of the nonprofit corporations in the California State University system. Incorporated in 1932 as the San Jose State College Corporation, the Research Foundation’s name changed in 1932 to The San Jose State College Foundation and, in 1975, to The San José State University Foundation. In February 2007 Research was added to the name to underscore the important dimension of faculty scholarship, productivity, and contribution to the university’s teaching mission and to distinguish the Research Foundation from the newly established Tower Foundation, with its focus on philanthropy.
The sixteen-member Board of Directors – consisting of four university administrators, six university faculty members, one member of the student body, and five individuals from the community – governs the Research Foundation. Please refer to Appendix 1 for a listing of the current Research Foundation Board of Directors. As a SJSU auxiliary the Research Foundation resides organizationally with the university’s Academic Affairs Division under the direction of the provost.
The general purpose of the Research Foundation, as set out in its articles of incorporation, is to advance the welfare of the university through assistance in research, education, and community service. The Research Foundation's primary responsibility as an auxiliary of the university is the development and business administration of sponsored projects and of separate departmental and college "self support" accounts.
