Return Reference	Explanation
Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.	Construction of a new building
Part X : FIN48 Footnote	The Center qualifies as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Center is exempt from State income taxes under the Alaska Nonprofit Corporation Act. Therefore the accompanying statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes. Although the Center is exempt from federal income taxes, any income derived from unrelated business activities is subject to the requirement of filing U.S. Federal Income Tax Form 990-T and a tax liability may be determined on these activities. The Center had no income from unrelated business activities as of September 30, 2020. The Center's policy is to report interest and penalties associated with income taxes as other expense. The Center applies the provisions of Topic 740 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification relating to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. As of September 30, 2020 there were no uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits for which management believes it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of tax contingencies will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date. The Center files tax returns in the US Federal Jurisdiction and the State of Alaska. As of 2020, the tax years that remain subject to examination begins with 2017.

Explanation

Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used

These funds are awarded from the Oil Spill Recovery Institute (OSRI), an institute within the Prince William Sound Science & Technology Institute dba PWSSC. An annual work plan is developed and approved by the OSRI advisory is developed and approved by the OSRI advisory board. OSRI funds are given directly by the USCG Department of Treasury to the PWSSC, who has the fiduciary responsibility for these funds. These funds received from the USCG Department of the Treasury are treated as federal for reporting purposes. These awards include grants and service contracts that are included in the work plan. Proposals are accepted through the advertised request for proposal (RFP) process or by a request for a proposal to a specific entity to meet the work plan needs. These proposals are peer reviewed by OSRI's Scientific & technology committee. If approved, they go to the board chair (appointed by U.S. secretary of commerce) who approves. The grants are then awarded or amended if from prior years. Deliverables, financials and reporting expectations are included in the award documentation and the grant policy manual found online on the OSRI web site www.pws-OSRI.org. Because the original source of these funds are from the Trans Alaska Pipeline Fund, these funds can be used for matching purposes on other federal awards.

	Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council Programs:Herring Research and Monitoring ProgramThis is an Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council-funded program designed to improve our ability to predict herring populations in Prince William Sound. This is to be achieved by a mixture of monitoring efforts to provide information needed by the age-structure-analysis model, and research projects that provide a better understanding of aspects of the herring life cycle that is necessary for the development of new models. The program also addresses assumptions in the measurement program and looks to incorporate new technologies. This program includes investigators from PWSSC, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, United States Geological Service, and University of Washington. The program works closely with the Gulf Watch Alaska program. Gulf Watch AlaskaThe Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council (EVOSTC) is supporting a five-year, $12 million long-term monitoring program in the Gulf of Alaska region affected by the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. The monitoring program, called Gulf Watch Alaska, involves more than 25 scientists from multiple agencies and universities and seeks to provide data to identify and help understand the impacts of multiple ecosystem factors on the recovery of injured resources. This program is expected to be 20 years in length, but is planned and funded in five-year increments. It builds a legacy of restoration research and monitoring by the EVOSTC and federal and state agencies dating back to 1989. The program includes sites in Prince William Sound, lower Cook Inlet, the Gulf of Alaska, and the outer Kenai Peninsula coast.

NREL HydrokineticsThe National Renewable Energy Laboratory has contracted for a report that examines potential routing for a medium-voltage, direct-current cable to connect Cordova, Tatitlek, and Valdez. Additionally the marine hydrokinetic potential is being examined along the cable route to determine the feasibility of adding hydrokinetic generation facilities as a new renewable power source for communities in Prince William Sound. NPRB Sockeye Salmon The North Pacific Research Board is funding a PWSSC project to tag Copper River salmon to examine how changes in body size affect migration and spawning success. The intent is to better understand the potential impacts of recent reduced Sockeye salmon size at age on their reproductive success. NPRB Outreach The North Pacific Research Board is funding a PWSSC project to hold a stakeholder roundtable to get community input on the Sockeye Salmon project and to get input on research needs related to Copper River salmon.NPRB Herring IcthyophonusThe North Pacific Research Board is funding a PWSSC project to tag examine Pacific herring hearts for Icthyophonus. This disease is poorly understood, particularly the level at which it causes mortality and has the potential for population level effects. The project is examining hearts collected over the past 13 years to determine the historic disease intensity and relate it to increased mortality. NPRB Shellfish Toxins The North Pacific Research Board is funding a PWSSC project to collect shellfish and seawater samples to determine the presence of paralytic shellfish poison forming organisms. The study is investigating the transfer of toxins from Alexandrium cells to zooplankton, shellfish, forage fish, and commercially important predatory fishes in Prince William Sound and Kachemak Bay. NPRB Tufted Puffin The North Pacific Research Board is funding a PWSSC project to tag Tufted puffins with geolocator tags to determine where the birds spend their time in the winter. In addition to the tags, samples are being collected to conduct stable isotope analysis to examine if the puffins change trophic level during the winter. SBA PPP Funds Paycheck Protection Program funds were received to assist with payroll related expenses to reduce potential economic impacts of the COVID-19 virus.

	Oil Spill Recovery Institute Programs:Oil Spill Recovery Institute (OSRI)This program funds the administration and awards of the Oil Spill Recovery Institute, a federally established program to support research, education, and demonstration projects designed to respond to and understand the effects of oil spills in the Arctic and sub-Arctic marine environments. Initiated in 1997, funding is provided directly from the interest earnings on a $35.3 million principal allocation administered by the U.S. Coast Guard (from the National Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund). The Institute is governed by an Advisory Board which includes representatives from Federal and State agencies, Alaska Native and PWS communities, and industry representatives appointed by the Governor of Alaska. The Advisory Board Chair is a U.S. Department of Commerce representative. PWSSC H2O Headwaters to Ocean Program & Education ProgramThe H2O Headwaters to Ocean Program is the umbrella under which all of our education and outreach efforts occur. This program has four components this year: (1) the Discovery Room, a program which supplements elementary school science education in the classroom; (2) Secondary School Outreach, programming designed to keep older students engaged in marine science-centric activities that promote critical thinking, problem solving and ecological literacy. (3) Outreach Discovery to support delivery of materials to audiences outside of Cordova. (4) Mini Discovery is designed to engage youth who are not yet school age in hands-on activities. This programs are funded in large by OSRI. Other funding comes from British Petroleum, ConocoPhillips, individual and small business donations, foundations and camp fees. PWSSC Herder/BurnerThis is a Joint Industry Program that uses funding from OSRI, ExxonMobile, Shell, Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, and Clean Caribbean Americans for the development of new oil spill response technology. A remotely operated surface vessel is being developed that can apply chemical herders and ignite herded slicks for in-situ burns. The system will carry remote sensing capabilities and can be controlled locally or through a satellite link.
