AS OF SEPTEMBER 30,2008:
Scripps Florida employed 262 people and has received over $109 million in research support from non-
state sources. Over 70 patent applications have been filed by Scripps Florida and over 45 license agreements
have been entered into.
Scripps Florida Funding Corporation disbursed 5203,871,213.37 to Scripps Florida since 2004. Of that
amount, $189,292,750 is principal amount and $14,578,463.37 is interest earned, minus SFFCs annual
operating budget.
A FEW INSTITUTIONAL MILESTONES:
On September 2,2008, TSRl announced that it has been awarded more than $80
million by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to expand the work of The Scripps Research Molecular
Screening Center. TSRl will direct nearly $52 million of this grant to Scripps Florida, which will use high
throughput screening robotics to screen discoveries from laboratories in both La Jolla and Jupiter. The goal is
to uncover 'proof of concept' molecules that could be useful in developing new treatments for a large number of
human diseases. The Scripps Center is one of only four such large centers nationwide.
In February 2008, the National Institutes of Neurological Disorders and Stroke
(NINDS) awarded a $7.6 million multi-year grant to Scripps Florida scientists to develop the next generation of
kinase inhibitors to treat Parkinson's disease. Philip LoGrasso, Scripps Research associate professor and
senior director for drug discovery at Scripps Florida, is leading the project as principal investigator.
Miami physician, businessman and philanthropist Phillip Frost and his wife, Patricia Frost, an ardent
supporter of education and the arts, have donated $1 million to Scripps Florida. In recognition of the Frosts'
donation, the foyer of the drug discovery building will be named the Frost Lobby.
In 2008, a record number of new graduate students selected Scripps Florida as
their school of choice to pursue their doctoral degrees. Of the eight new students, four came from Florida
universities and colleges - the University of Miami; Florida State University; the University of Florida; and the
New College of Florida.
Scripps Florida established the Department of Metabolism and Aging and named Dr. Roy Smith as chair of
the new department and in May 2008, Scripps Florida established the Environmental Health and Safety
(EH&S) Department.
Scripps Florida was awarded a $110,000 grant to provide Palm Beach County middle and high school
teachers with a summer program of instruction in basic science and advanced laboratory-based techniques
and give them special portable teaching units for future classroom use.

The Economic Impacts of Scripps Florida on
Florida's Economy
October 1,2007 - September 30,2008

Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, Inc. November 2008
The Economic Impacts of Scripps Florida on
Florida's Economy
October 1,2007 - September 30,2008
Introduction
This analysis is designed to fulfill the requirements of Subsection 14(e) of the 2008 Scripps
Florida Funding Corporation Annual Report to the State of Florida Governor and Legislature.
Purpose: Estimate the economic impacts of the activities of the Scripps Florida facility on
the State of Florida during its fieh fiscal year of operation that covers the period October 1,
2007 to September 30,2008.
The analyses for the previous four fiscal years were conducted by Enterprise Florida, Inc. (EFI)
and this analysis will follow a similar format as that established by EFI to address Subsection
14(e) of the Scripps Florida Funding Corporation's (SFFC) Annual Report to the Florida Governor
and Legislature. This analysis was conducted by the staff of the Business Development Board of
Palm Beach County, Inc. (BDB) at the request of SFFC. It is based on information and data
provided to the BDB from SFFC and uses the IMPIAN economic impact model, as was used in
prior analyses by EFI. The purpose of this analysis was to estimate the quantifiable economic
impacts of Scripps Florida's activities in the State of Florida during its fifth fiscal year in operation,
based on the expenditures made by Scripps Florida or its partners, Palm Beach County and
Florida Atlantic University. This analysis makes no attempt to project future economic impacts or
benefits on the State of Florida or Palm Beach County, nor does it attempt to estimate or project
non-quantifiable benefits or impacts to Florida or Palm Beach County.
As previously stated, this report follows a similar format as the one established by EFI in the
previous four analyses. As such, this report will include sections that provide information on
economic impact analysis and the model, IMPIAN, used to estimate impacts, the methodology
used to conduct this analysis, results of the IMPIAN model, and a brief description of the impacts
that this analysis does not attempt to estimate.
Economic Impact Analysis Using IMPLAN
Economic impact analysis estimates the changes in economic output (gross domestic product),
employment, personal income (labor compensation and proprietors' income), property income
(rents), and tax revenues that result from changes in demand for products or services in a given
study area (referred to as an event). Impacts can be measured for zip codes, counties, states, or
the entire country.
Page 2
Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, Inc. November 2008
Due to the importance of Scripps Florida to the State of Florida, as being a world class research
institute that has positioned Florida as an emerging focal point for the life sciences, this analysis
will estimate the economic impacts to the entire State of Florida resulting from Scripps Florida
operations. However, the majority of the benefits from Scripps Florida are likely concentrated in
Palm Beach County and the surrounding region.
The IMPlAN model is a recognized industry leader in the United States and is used by many
organizations from federal agencies to private consultants for economic impact analysis.
This analysis uses many of the default settings and features of the standard IMPIAN model, In
accordance with the circumstances stipulated by Scripps Florida and in keeping with the format of
prior analyses by EFI, this analysis reports the economic impacts of Scripps Florida in three
different categories.
First, the IMPIAN model quantities four categories of impacts: employment; personal income;
economic output (gross domestic product); and tax revenues. Employment refers to the
number of full-time jobs created in the study area due to the presence of Scripps Florida.
Personal lncome includes all forms of labor compensation and proprietors' income that are
injected into the economy of the study area as a result of Scripps Florida. Economic Output
(Gross Domestic Product) is the increased amount of total economic output in the study area
that results from the change in employment and value added created by the presence of Scripps.
Lastly, tax revenues refer to the additional fiscal revenues generated by state and local
governments (such as sales taxes, property taxes, and other excise taxes and fees) resulting from
the increased economic activity due to Scripps.
Second, there are three rounds of effects that are analyzed. Each round is classified as a
separate category or effect. The first round produces the direct effects, which include the
economic impacts to the four categories stated above that result from the set up and operations of
Scripps Florida itself, such as the number of jobs created by Scripps to work in the new facility or
the change in employment by the companies hired by Scripps to provide goods or services, such
as construction of the site. Next come the indirect effects, which include interindustry changes
in demand resulting from the construction and operation of Scripps or the goods and services
required by companies hired by Scripps for design and construction. Lastly, the induced effects
are measured, which are the increases in economic activity stemming from the expenditures by
the households of the employees hired by Scripps or the companies used for designing and
construction of the Scripps facility or businesses indirectly influenced by the presence of Scripps.
Page 3

Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, Inc. November 2008
The presence of direct effects, indirect effects, and induced effects result from what is referred to
as the multiplier effect. The multiplier effect occurs, because every time a purchase is made in
any sector of the economy, additional spending is created through direct, indirect, and induced
effects. This happens over and over many times. Essentially, when one person or company
spends money, it enables another person or company to spend money and so on, creating a
chain of new spending by other people or companies.
The third and last category will distinguish between the Scripps Florida's Operational Impacts and
Facility-Related Impacts.
Scripps FIoridak Operational Impacts. These impacts result from the operations of Scripps
Florida during its fifth fiscal year. The operational impacts include Scripps payroll expenditures
(for scientists and professional and support staff), expenditures for laboratory equipment, office
supplies, information technology, utilities, and various other business services and operational
expenses.
Facility-Related Impacts. These impacts include all the economic activity due to expenditures
on designing and constructing the facilities housing Scripps Florida. Those expenditures are
made by Scripps Florida or by partners on behalf of Scripps Florida. The partners of Scripps
Florida include Palm Beach County, Florida Atlantic University, and the State of Florida.
Numerous activities are accounted for by the expenditures in this category, including: land
surveys; environmental impact studies; site preparation; construction; architectural services; and
various other professional and support services. Facility-Related impacts are included in this
analysis because they are a result of Scripps' presence. However, once Scripps Florida has
completed its permanent facility, these impacts will most likely diminish.
Methodology
The results of an economic impact analysis are reliant upon the primary data and assumptions
used in the model. In this analysis, the BDB has relied on data provided by the Scripps Florida
Funding Corporation. The data provided include all known expenditures by Scripps Florida and its
partners (Palm Beach County and Florida Atlantic University) during the fiscal year October 1,
2007 to September 30,2008.
All expenditures data obtained were input into the IMPLAN model, with the appropriate NAICS-
based IMPLAN industry codes for each line item expenditure. The line items were then
aggregated based on their features to achieve the quantifiable impacts mentioned in the previous
section.
Page 4
Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, Inc. November 2008
No data on actual job creation by Scripps Florida's activities were provided, and therefore no
employment data were input into the IMPLAN model. However, expenditures for salaries and
benefits were provided by Scripps, and these were included in the model using the IMPLAN
industry code for payroll compensation, which allowed the model to estimate direct employment
levels throughout the fiscal year. Therefore the estimated employment impacts generated by
IMPLAN should be interpreted as the average annual full-time employment, and may in fact not be
the actual employment of Scripps Florida or any other entity affected by the presence of Scripps at
any time during the fiscal year analyzed.
Since this analysis is focused on the single fiscal year of October 1, 2007 to September 30, 2008,
the IMPLAN model does not attempt to differentiate between recurring and one-time impacts. As
stated previously, any jobs or other impacts associated with the construction and design of
Scripps permanent facility will likely diminish or disappear entirely once the facility is completed
and Scripps moves into the facilities. Additionally, impacts associated with the operations of the
Scripps facility can recur each year. However, this study is only concerned with impacts in fiscal
year 2007-08.
This analysis relied upon the default assumptions built into the IMPLAN model. This analysis
used the assumptions in the IMPLAN model to determine the amount of expenditures and activity
that affected the State of Florida due to the presence of Scripps Florida by estimating the amount
of goods and sewices that are demanded from domestic sources versus sources in other states.
The data used for the IMPLAN model's assumptions are derived from US Federal Government
databases.
Fiscal impacts were also estimated by the IMPLAN model, which differentiates between federal
and state and local tax revenues. This analysis maintains the state and local tax revenue impacts
established in the previous four analyses by EFI. In previous analyses, EFI assumed that all tax
revenues obtained through vehicle licensing fees go to the State of Florida, whereas property
taxes are paid to local governments. The sales tax receipts are split between the state and local
governments, where the State of Florida receives six percent and the local governments receive
anything above that due to local options. The IMPLAN model does not differentiate the split in
sales tax, so it is possible that the amount of sales tax collected is overstated for the State of
Florida and understated for the counties and municipalities.

Each of the impact types are summarized below.
fmp/oyment Impact. The presence of Scripps Florida assisted in sustaining an estimated 1,327
jobs statewide. It is important to note that those jobs were not necessarily created during the PI
2007-2008, where some may have carried over from previous fiscal years, while some were also
created during the fiscal year of the study. Therefore, it would not be correct to add results from
previous fiscal years' analyses to this one.
Direct. This analysis reports the total direct impacts, and also differentiates between
the facility-related impacts and the operational impacts. During the SFFC's Fiscal Year
2007-2008, Scripps Florida had a total direct employment impact of 767 full-time jobs,
692 of which were due to the facility-related activities (construction, planning, design,
etc.) and 75 were due to the operations of Scripps Florida.
Indirect and Induced. An additional 561 jobs were supported throughout Florida as a
result of indirect and induced effects, of which 499 were from facility-related activities
and 61 were from Scripps Florida's operations.
Income Impact. The total personal income impact of Scripps in the SFFC's fifth fiscal year was
$62,372,170.
Direct. The activities of Scripps Florida and the companies it hired to design and
construct their facility were directly responsible for contributing to an influx of
$37,825,837 of personal income into Florida's economy.
Indirect and Induced. The multiplier effect led to an additional $24,546,332 in personal
income in the Florida economy.

Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, Inc. November 2008
Output (Gross Domestic Product) Impact. Scripps Florida added $168,496,014 to Florida's
gross domestic product (GDP).
Direct. The operational activities of Scripps Florida and the companies utilized by
Scripps for construction and design of their facility directly contributed to adding
$100,063,815 to Florida's GDP.
Indirect and Induced. The multiplier effect led to the addition of $68,432,199 to
Florida's GDP.
Fiscal Impact. The total estimated fiscal revenues to State and local governments due to the
presence of Scripps Florida in its fifth fiscal year amounted to $5,343,438.
Direct. The operational activities of Scripps Florida and the companies utilized by
Scripps for construction and design of their facility directly contributed to an estimated
$1,692,825 in tax revenues to state and local governments.
Indirect andinduced. The multiplier effect from the activities of Scripps Florida and
the companies hired by Scripps led to an additional $3,650,614 in estimated tax
revenues for state and local governments.
The approximate breakdown between estimated tax revenues for the State of Florida and the
local governments was:
State Taxes. The estimated tax revenues that went to the State of Florida as a result of
Scripps Florida were $3,185,473.
Local Taxes. The estimated tax revenues that went to the local governments (county
and municipal) in Florida as a result of Scripps Florida were $2,157,964.
Economic Impacts Outside of the Model
This analysis has focused on the economic impacts of Scripps Florida on the economy of the
State of Florida during SFFC's fifth fiscal year of activities, October 1, 2007 - September 30, 2008.
It is important to note that the IMPLAN model can only estimate the quantifiable economic
impacts, such as employment, personal income, output, and tax revenues, to a geographical area
based on changes in demand for goods or services caused by an event. Therefore, the model is
not capable of measuring the qualitative economic benefits of an event, such as the presence of
Scripps Florida, that could positively affect the economy of Florida. While the qualitative benefits
are important, they may only become evident after a number of years or may influence
quantifiable impacts in future analyses.
