| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | Research Workforce - For more than two decades, the ABP has disseminated its workforce data about pediatric physicians with the larger medical and health services community. Over the years, this effort has evolved to incorporate three types of data: (1) certification data, (2) tracking data provided to the ABP from pediatric residency and subspecialty training programs; and (3) census survey information collected across the entire span of a pediatrician's career, from training and initial certification through Continuing Certification (CC). Tracking the pediatric physician workforce is essential for understanding its makeup, numbers, distribution, and practice patterns. This effort has provided valuable information to pediatricians, pediatric residency and subspecialty training program directors, hospital administrators, policymakers, researchers, and others interested in ensuring that we have the skilled workforce necessary to meet the health care needs of infants, children, adolescents, young adults, and their families. The overarching goal of this project is to utilize the ABP's reliable and unique data as a key resource to inform ABP operations and national workforce policy and planning discussions. We intend to achieve this goal by improving the quality and dissemination of the ABP's workforce related data, thereby enhancing its usefulness internally and externally. Over the next fiscal year, the project team plans to (1) Continue to maintain a rigorous, high-quality data collection and management system of the census survey data and continue dissemination efforts of the ABP's certification and tracking data; (2) Continue to enhance the ABP's workforce efforts through linkages to other organizations with interests in this topic area via a Pediatric Workforce Network (PWN); (3) Analyze data from census survey modules; (4) Update and enhance data dashboards, including moving census survey data to dashboards. Metrics tracked for this work include (1) published papers and (2) google analytics for access to the ABP data dashboards. In 2020, there were two manuscripts published, one of which was assigned an Altmetric attention score of 10 by the journal indicating that it is in the top 25% of research outputs scored by Altmetric. Since publication in May 2020, it has also been mentioned by 15 tweeters with an upper bound of 49,834 followers and cited by 7 other publications. In 2020, the top viewed dashboards included a US map of subspecialists by state (439 unique pageviews) and a visualization of the yearly growth in pediatric subspecialty by demographics and program characteristics (417 unique pageviews). |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4b | Roadmap - The ABP Foundation has provided funding since 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 2020, there were 2,746 unique webpage views and 996 unique downloads of project resources. In addition, 9 pediatric training programs are participating in a learning collaborative to implement changes in their training and/or care at their institutions under the leadership of Cincinnati Children's James M Anderson Center for Health Systems Excellence. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4c | The American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) has committed to exploring alternatives to the Continuing Certification (CC) part 3 requirements for pediatric diplomates (i.e., pediatricians who are board certified) as well as for part 3 and part 4 requirements. Since January 2017, the ABP has been employing user panels and surveys to assess a longitudinal assessment program, termed Maintenance of Certification Assessment-Pediatrics or MOCA-Peds. The specific aims for this project include (1) Determine the usability and operationality (e.g., rates of enrollment and dropout, use of learning resources) of the MOCA-Peds system and IT platform for the general pediatrician through the first MOC cycle of those starting in 2019; (2) Explore critical questions related to modifications of the MOCA-Peds system for 15 pediatric subspecialties; (3) Disseminate findings to a range of stakeholders (e.g., pilot participants, diplomates, pediatric organizations, other medical and allied health professional boards, and the scientific community) and (4) Investigate other aspects of board certification and continuing certification through focus groups with an annually identified user panel that capitalizes on the diversity of pediatricians throughout the US. During 2020, the project team conducted an annual survey of participants in the operational MOCA-Peds program, created a link to an infographic about the MOCA-Peds program, and hosted multiple opportunities for user panel feedback and input on ABP activities. |

Once completed, the CFO distributes the form 990 to the Board of Directors for their review and comment prior to filling the return with the IRS. |
| 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. |
