| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b | A draft of the Form 990 is sent to each board member prior to the designated board meeting during which it will be discussed. The Form 990 is discussed at the designated board meeting and must be approved by a majority of the board before being filed.If the board is not scheduled to meet until after the filing deadline, a board representative will review a draft of the Form 990 and make a recommendation for filing. The draft form 990 will then be reviewed by the entire board at the next scheduled meeting. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c | Each board member is asked to complete a conflict of interest form annually, which is reviewed by the objectivity and integrity in science committee (OISC). The OISC also reviews all research projects, publications, and scientific reports for conflicts of interest. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15a | TThe Board of Trustees has established a Compensation Committee whose role is to provide the Board with Compensation recommendations for the Executive Director, Chief Scientific Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and any other highly compensated employees and consultants earning $200,000 or more per annum. The process for review and approval of compensation occurs upon initial hiring, whenever the term of employment is renewed or extended, and whenever the compensation is modified, unless a modification of compensation extends to substantially all employees. The President of the Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing and evaluating executive performance on an annual basis. The supervisors of the highly compensated employees and consultants evaluate their performance. The Compensation Committee uses the following process to determine the compensation they will recommend to the board for approval for the executives and highly compensated employees and consultants: 1. Conduct research and obtain appropriate comparability or benchmarking data documenting compensation levels and benefits for similarly qualified individuals in comparable positions at similar organizations. Data may include salary and benefit compensation studies by independent sources, industry surveys, written job offers for positions at similar organizations, and information obtained from IRS Form 990 filings of similar organizations. 2. Carefully consider the performance reviews and supervisors recommendations regarding appropriate compensation.3. Determine the compensation to be recommended to the Board for approval, and contemporaneously document the basis for these recommendations, including the data on which it relied, the date it was discussed, the members present for the discussion, and the results of the vote.4. Present the Committees compensation recommendations to the full Board for approval, with approval documented in the minutes of the Board. |
