What Campus Research Corporation does
Mission
Campus Research Corporation operates solely to assist the arizona board of regents, a body corporate and an agency of the state of arizona, to enhance and further the educational and research mission of the university of arizona.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
Campus Research Corporation (crc) had an agreement with a tenant under which the tenant functioned as the managing operator for the tech park through august 2024. As managing operator, the tenant provided certain common area services which consisted of the operation, maintenance and repair of the central utility system, project fire and security services, and the common areas. In september 2024, crc assumed the function of the managing operator. Crc and its major tenants, or those tenants that are renting over 100,000 square feet, are required to pay a monthly amount based on an annual operating budget for these services. A quarterly analysis of central utility and occupant electric expenses is prepared for each building and its occupants, and these costs are reconciled to the budget. Annual common service expenses are also reconciled to the budget. Based on these reconciliations, an additional charge or refund is assessed. As a result of crc assuming the function of the managing operator, there has been a significant increase in operating lease income and operating costs.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Campus Research Corporation was formed in 1994 to assist the arizona board of regents in the marketing, leasing, development, improvement and operation of the university of arizona science and technology park located in the tucson, arizona metropolitan area. In addition to using a portion of the park as an educational facility for students and faculty of the university, the corporation leases portions to private industry and governmental agencies. The park provides a campus where industry and the university can participate in activities that promote and support education, research and economic development of the region. The park also provides a mechanism to promote the development and integration of technological results from research into private corporate programs. Located in one of arizona's fast-growing suburban settings on tucson's southeast side, the park's spacious campus encompasses 1,267 acres and has 2 million square feet of space for tech offices, r&d and laboratory facilities. The tech park also developed a solar research facility spanning approximately 223 acres. The tech park is being further developed with potential projects that include a hotel, daycare center,…

Together, they create a live-work-play-learn environment that is one of the region's most innovative and exciting developments. The 65 acres designated for the site are part of a larger 350-acre multi-use development. Long-term plans call for 1.2 million square feet of developed office and laboratory space that could support approximately 5,000 knowledge workers on-site.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $40M to $47M (+16%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 0% · 2022 0% · 2023 0% · 2024 4% · 2025 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
1% of CAMPUS RESEARCH CORPORATION’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (23% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
94% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CAMPUS RESEARCH CORPORATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 80% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% — broadly stable.
