| Form 990, Part I, Line 1 | The American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) Foundation undertakes strategic initiatives on behalf of the American Board of Pediatrics to advance the science, education, study, and practice of pediatrics. These initiatives are intended to support research on contemporary pediatric issues, the dialogue among health care leaders to improve the quality of physician training and pediatric care, and programs that will improve the practice of pediatrics. To achieve its mission, the ABP Foundation collaborates with other healthcare organizations, with the ultimate goal to improve quality of health care during infancy, childhood, adolescence, and the transition into adulthood. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 | The American Board of Pediatrics Foundation (ABPF) supports the mission of the ABP to ensure excellence in the education of pediatricians and the delivery of pediatric care. The ABP Foundation achieves its goal by pursuing rigorous research, convening collaborators in health care, developing and disseminating collective expertise, and promoting innovation, ultimately fostering the health and well-being of children and families |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | Pediatric Milestone Assessment Collaboration (PMAC) - The vision and mission of the Pediatric Milestones Assessment Collaboration is to provide all pediatric residents and fellows with assessment and feedback that is specific, behaviorally-based and real time. The plan is to develop a coherent system of competency-based assessment milestones that will be used in every teaching hospital, verifying continued competence beyond standardized testing of medical knowledge. It will drive continuous performance improvement, and set the stage for lifelong learning, guiding both professional and personal growth. PMAC was formed in March 2014 by the ABP, Association of Pediatric Program Directors (APPD) and the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME). The goal is to use assessment of physicians as a means of providing evidence of individual physician competence, training program effectiveness, and ultimately, the provision of optimal healthcare. This multi-year project studied three progression decisions: 1) readiness of a first year resident to care for inpatients with direct supervision, 2) readiness of a first year resident to care for patients without a supervisor nearby and 3) readiness to supervise others. The research supports the validity evidence of the items and tools that we created to assess pediatrics residents as they deliver care to patients. The multi-source feedback tools reflected our greatest success; requiring only 6 observations from most types of assessors (e.g. peers, faculty nurses, etc.) to achieve validity evidence commensurate with a knowledge examination. We have disseminated the outcomes of this collaborative through numerous presentations and multiple manuscripts in peer review journals. The project was completed on June 30, 2019. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4b | Roadmap - The ABP Foundation provided funding beginning February 1, 2017 to "Develop a Roadmap to Support the Emotional and Mental Health Needs of Patients with Chronic Illness and their Families". Parents of children with chronic illness and healthcare professionals partnered together to: (1)Use a systematic process to understand patient and family needs for emotional support and mental health, with an initial focus on patients with chronic illness and their families; (2) Identify current strategies for addressing emotional support and mental health of patients with chronic illness and their families from literature review, current network initiatives and other relevant organizational efforts; (3) Develop a change package that can be used to raise awareness and provide specific strategies for pediatric subspecialists to identify and address patient and family needs for emotional and mental health support; (4) Provide metrics for networks and organizations to use that will assess and monitor efforts to improve emotional support and mental health for patients and families; (5) Facilitate the adoption of individual network initiatives that address the emotional support and mental health needs of patients and families; and (6) Develop a cross-network initiative to accelerate the improvement of emotional support and mental health for patients and families. The project team is currently working on disseminating the Roadmap materials and conducting a series of pilot tests to inform iterative improvements. In 2018, unique webpage views were almost 1500 with another 1900 unique webpage views in 2019. In 2019, there were also over 1,100 unique downloads of project resources, which now include the completed change package as well as example conversations and a video for providers interested in learning how to initiate behavioral/mental health-related conversations. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4c | Mental Health Crisis - In October 2016 , ABPF Board of Directors approved a multi -year initiative to implement recommendations regarding opportunities for the ABP to influence children's behavioral and mental health. These recommendations were categorized into four programmatic focus areas: (1) Education, training, and assessment, (2) Initial certification, (3) The four components of continuing certification, and (4) Outreach efforts with patients and their families regarding Behavioral Mental Health (B/MH). Since beginning the initiative, the project team has engaged with ABP staff, other pediatric organizations and individuals, as well as with non-pediatrician experts, to conduct activities in the four areas tied to recommendations endorsed by the ABP and ABP Foundation BOD members. Major activities completed in 2018-19 include: The completion of a study examining a subset of program directors' experiences with implementing the B/MH EPA (Entrustable Professional Activities); The completion of a follow-up study and published manuscript summarizing a meeting cosponsored by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) and the ABP that brought together pediatric department chairs and program directors as dyads to engage with other critical stakeholders to think through ways to advance pediatric education and training in behavioral/mental health and to commit to making 1 change within their institution over the upcoming months; Continued survey work to explore general pediatrics and subspecialty pediatrics trainees' perceptions of training experiences in B/MH; The development of draft learning objectives for pediatric subspecialists related to B/MH; and Continued enhancement of relationships with over 10 organizational partners via a Pediatric B/MH virtual network and through continue outreach with organizations like the Council of Pediatric Subspecialties (CoPs) and NASEM. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b | The Controller prepares the form 990 which is then reviewed by the CFO. The return is also reviewed by outside tax counsel for compliance.

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c | The American Board of Pediatrics Foundation follows the conflict of interest policies (COI) of the American Board of Pediatrics. The COI policy covers Board appointees, committee members, officers, and key employees who must review the COI policy annually and disclose any potential conflicts of interest via a signed form. The conflict of interest committee reviews and monitors all conflict of interest issues. Conflicts of appointees and employees attending meetings are disclosed in the meeting agenda materials and those with conflicts do not participate in the voting on any issues where they may have a conflict of interest. The ABP Foundation also maintains a conflict of interest policy covering employees, who are required to disclose any or actual perceived conflicts of interest on an annual basis via signed agreement. These statements are reviewed by Vice President of Human Resources and the President. Employees are removed from decision making issues where a conflict may exist. |
