Personal Statement While serving as Department Chair, I continue to teach at both the undergraduate and graduate levels (BIOL 527, Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy [lecture and lab]; BIOL 534/535, Human Physiology [lecture and lab]; and BIOL 730, Cancer Biology [lecture]) and maintain an independent research agenda. That agenda involves cellular and molecular studies using both in vitro and in vivo approaches. More specifically, I developed a unique animal experimental system to study: 1) the topic of endocrine disruption in general and 2) a medical misadventure known as the “DES Syndrome” in particular. It is important to note that key findings about the fundamental mechanisms of neonatal DES-induced endocrine disruption in our system depended on my success in developing a hamster cheek pouch transplantation protocol and passing on that protocol to other investigators, graduate students, and even undergraduate students. Also, through my participation with the K-INBRE, WMREF, and KUMC-W entities defined above and below, I am directly involved with the now expanding partnership between WSU and the local biomedical community; a partnership that includes a growing cohort of Translational Research projects. It is also important to note an attribute of the Department of Biological Sciences at WSU that strongly influenced my decision to accept their recruitment offer. That is, well established and popular formal course offerings (BIOL 499 - Undergraduate Research; BIOL 669 – Research in Biochemistry) designed to recruit undergraduate student participation in the research agendas of all faculty members in the department. That attribute also greatly facilitated my ability to serve as Wichita Coordinator for the Undergraduate Core Office of the K-INBRE program (http://k-inbre.org/). After successfully engaging the K-INBRE’s research support and undergraduate student scholarship opportunities (https://wichita.edu/?u=bioscience&p=/scholarships/kinbrescholarships/) with students and faculty first in the Department of Biological Sciences , I expanded the recruitment effort to include students and faculty in the Department of Chemistry and the new and now expanded Biomedical Engineering Program . In addition to recruiting students’ participation in original research projects, the K-INBRE scholarship program requires the student awardees to present their research results at the annual WSU-sponsored and K-INBRE-sponsored symposia.

Research Experience and Current Agenda 1. With the research group I joined for my PhD degree (Mentor – Dr. Wendell W. Leavitt; Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology), I participated in some of their analyses of steroid hormone/receptor regulation in the hamster uterus. However, the real focus of my thesis project was development and characterization of a unique experimental hamster model for the human “DES syndrome”. Indeed, it was that medical misadventure that established diethylstilbestrol (DES) as a transplacental carcinogen and the prototypical endocrine disruptor agent. a. Evans RW, Chen TJ, Hendry WJ, 3rd, Leavitt WW. Progesterone regulation of estrogen receptor in the hamster uterus during the estrous cycle. Endocrinology. 1980;107:383-90. PMID: 7190093 b.

Binding and retention of estrogen in the uterus of hamsters treated neonatally with diethylstilbestrol. J Steroid Biochem. 1982;17:479-87. PMID: 7176641 d. Hendry WJ, 3rd, Leavitt WW. Altered morphogenesis of the immature hamster uterus following neonatal exposure to diethylstilbestrol. Differentiation. 1993;52:221-7. PMID: 8482438 2. My initial post-doctoral position (Mentor – Dr. Benjamin J. Danzo; Vanderbilt University School of Medicine) was with a group that studied the structure and regulated function of estrogen receptors in male reproductive tract organs. My project with that group involved analyses of the function and modification of estrogen receptors by a protease active in the epididymis of mature but not immature rabbits; a process that may be responsible for decreased estrogen sensitivity in the adult epididymis. a. Danzo BJ, Eller BC, Hendry WJ, 3rd. Identification of cytoplasmic estrogen receptors in the accessory sex organs of the rabbit and their comparison to the cytoplasmic estrogen receptor in the epididymis.

Hormonal effects on the estrogen receptor system in the epididymis and accessory sex organs of sexually immature rabbits. J Steroid Biochem. 1985;23:39-49. PMID: 4021492 c. Hendry WJ, 3rd, Danzo BJ. Structural conversion of cytosolic steroid receptors by an age-dependent epididymal protease. J Steroid Biochem. 1985;23:883-93. PMID: 3912613 d. Hendry, WJ, 3rd, Danzo BJ. Further characterization of a steroid receptor-active protease from the mature rabbit epididymis. J Steroid Biochem. 1986;25:433-43. PMID: 3534465 3. With my next mentor and collaborator (Dr. Robert W. Harrison III; Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences), I investigated the biochemistry and molecular biology of glucocorticoid receptors. In particular, my project focused on the dynamics of glucocorticoid receptor protein levels and the effects of such dynamics on specific glucocorticoid-dependent responses. Those studies greatly expanded my molecular manipulation and analytical skills plus they required me to master new in vitro (cell culture) techniques. a. Hendry WJ, 3rd, Danzo BJ, Harrison RW, 3rd. Analysis of the disruptive action of an epididymal protease and the stabilizing influence of molybdate on nondenatured and denatured glucocorticoid receptor. Endocrinology. 1987;120:629-39. PMID: 3542507 b. Harrison RW, 3rd, Lippman SS, Hendry WJ, 3rd, Chien MC. Isolation of a genomic sublibrary enriched for glucocorticoid-regulated genes. DNA Cell Biol. 1990;9:95-102. PMID: 2344394 c. Hendry WJ, 3rd, Hakkak R, Cornett LE. Selective loss of glucocorticoid-dependent responses in a variant of the DDT1MF-2 tumor cell line. Cancer Res. 1992;52:2516-22. PMID: 1314696 d.

An analysis of autologous glucocorticoid receptor protein regulation in AtT-20 cells also reveals differential specificity of the BuGR2 monoclonal antibody. Biochim Biophys Acta. 1993;1178:176-88. PMID: 8347676 4. While at WSU, my continued engagement with the topics of endocrine disruption in general and the DES Syndrome in particular included further definition of the progression and molecular aspects of that phenomenon in both the female and male hamster reproductive tract. Recently, we expanded our investigation of the phenomenon to the epigenetic level. More specifically, we initiated studies of altered miRNA expression in our experimental system and they again involved both undergraduate and graduate students. It is also important to note that such activities are very relevant to the paradigm now recognized by NIH as the Fetal Basis of Adult Disease or FeBAD. a. Zheng X, Hendry WJ, 3rd. Neonatal diethylstilbestrol treatment alters the estrogen-regulated expression of both cell proliferation and apoptosis-related proto-oncogenes (c-jun, c-fos, c-myc, bax, bcl-2, and bcl-x) in the hamster uterus. Cell Growth Differ. 1997;8:425-34. PMID: 9101088 b. Hendry WJ, 3rd, DeBrot BL, Zheng X, Branham WS, Sheehan DM. Differential activity of diethylstilbestrol versus estradiol as neonatal endocrine disruptors in the female hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) reproductive tract. Biol Reprod. 1999;61:91-100.

(2017) Cell Biol Toxicol 2017 Mar 6. doi: 10.1007/s10565-017-9389-6. [Epub ahead of print] 5. Importantly and as introduced in the Personal Statement section above, key findings about the basic mechanisms of neonatal DES-induced disruption of the female reproductive tract relied on my ability to develop and teach other scientists and students the very effective and compliant hamster cheek pouch transplantation protocol. More specifically, use of that protocol allowed us to prove that neonatal DES exposure directly and permanently disrupts the developing hamster uterus (initiating event) so that it responds abnormally later in life to stimulation promoting event) with the natural ovarian steroid, estradiol. We are now generating Proof-Of-Principle results that support further testing of the cheek pouch as a xenotransplantation site and as the basis of a patient “avatar” system for human ovarian cancer and, most recently, human head and neck squamous cell cancer. a.

Full text of "Full Filing" for fiscal year ending Dec. 2021

Tax returns filed by nonprofit organizations are public records. The Internal Revenue Service releases them in two formats: page images and raw data in XML. The raw data is more useful, especially to researchers, because it can be extracted and analyzed more easily. The pages below are a reconstruction of a tax document using raw data from the IRS.

About This Data

Nonprofit Explorer includes summary data for nonprofit tax returns and full Form 990 documents, in both PDF and digital formats.

The summary data contains information processed by the IRS during the 2012-2019 calendar years; this generally consists of filings for the 2011-2018 fiscal years, but may include older records. This data release includes only a subset of what can be found in the full Form 990s.

In addition to the raw summary data, we link to PDFs and digital copies of full Form 990 documents wherever possible. This consists of separate releases by the IRS of Form 990 documents processed by the agency, which we update regularly.

We also link to copies of audits nonprofit organizations that spent $750,000 or more in Federal grant money in a single fiscal year since 2016. These audits are copied from the Federal Audit Clearinghouse.

Which Organizations Are Here?

Every organization that has been recognized as tax exempt by the IRS has to file Form 990 every year, unless they make less than $200,000 in revenue and have less than $500,000 in assets, in which case they have to file form 990-EZ. Organizations making less than $50,000 don’t have to file either form but do have to let the IRS they’re still in business via a Form 990N "e-Postcard."

Nonprofit Explorer has organizations claiming tax exemption in each of the 27 subsections of the 501(c) section of the tax code, and which have filed a Form 990, Form 990EZ or Form 990PF. Taxable trusts and private foundations that are required to file a form 990PF are also included. Small organizations filing a Form 990N "e-Postcard" are not included in this data.

Types of Nonprofits

There are 27 nonprofit designations based on the numbered subsections of section 501(c) of the tax code. See the list »

Coordinates of elektrostal in decimal degrees, coordinates of elektrostal in degrees and decimal minutes, utm coordinates of elektrostal, geographic coordinate systems.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
