| Desc | Research and Collections (SEE SCHEDULE O) RESEARCH AND COLLECTIONS: The Smithsonian collections of nearly 155 million objects (art, artifacts and scientific specimens) are the heart of the Institution. Research, public programs and exhibitions are based on these collections which additionally include more than 10 million digital records of online material. Care of the collections involves the work of registrars, conservators, museum specialists, designers, curators and editors. Approximately 145 million objects and specimens are part of the National Museum of Natural History collections and are primarily used for research by both Smithsonian scientists and researchers from around the world. In some cases, the museum has the definitive, irreplaceable collection of a certain species which is essential for comparative studies. Researchers at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute discovered three new species of porcupine fish by comparing fossil jaws and tooth plates collected on expeditions with museum specimens and modern porcupine fish. The species were discovered in Panama's Gatun formation and the Socorro Formation in Venezuela. Two Guam rail chicks born at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute were repatriated to Guam and released to the wild on the island of Rota in September 2017. The species was nearly driven to extinction by the invasive brown tree snake. The release marked the first time since 1985 that there were more Guam rails living in the wild than living in human care. There are now approximately 200 Guam rails living in the wild and 116 living in human care. The National Museum of American History added baseball equipment used by legendary Major League Baseball players including Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Ted Williams and Yogi Berra to its sports collection. SMITHSONIAN GARDENS ADDED MORE THAN 150 BOXES OF HISTORICAL RECORDS GENERATED BY OR RELATED TO THE W. ATLEE BURPEE & CO. SEED COMPANY TO THE ARCHIVES OF AMERICAN GARDENS. THE NEWLY ADDED COLLECTION CONSISTS OF THOUSANDS OF RECORDS, INCLUDING ACCOUNT BOOKS, SEED-TRIAL RECORDS, OFFICE FILES, SEED CATALOGS AND OTHER ITEMS RELATING TO BURPEE & CO. AND ITS COMPETITORS. BY 1915 BURPEE WAS THE LARGSET MAIL-ORDER SEED COMPANY IN THE WORLD. THE COLLECTIONS SPANS A CENTURY, FROM THE 187OS TO THE 1970S. | Desc |

| Desc | Education, Public Programs and Exhibitions (SEE SCHEDULE O) EDUCATION, PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND EXHIBITIONS: The National Museum of the American Indian announced in August an international competition to select a designer for the National Native American Veterans Memorial. The competition was open to all, and a jury of Native and non-Native artists, designers, scholars and veterans will chose a winner to design the memorial, which was commissioned by Congress and is slated to open in 2020. The National Museum of African American History and Culture celebrated the first anniversary of its opening on Sept. 24, 2017 with free public activities and performances, extended hours and a social media campaign. In its inaugural year, the museum welcomed nearly 3 million visitors, increased the number of items in its permanent collection to nearly 40,000 and hosted 46 public programs to help visitors understand historic and contemporary issues. The National Museum of African American History and Culture also opened "More Than a Picture," a collection of photographs of a range of American experiences and figures on May 5, 2017. The exhibition encourages visitors to explore the ways photographs reflect important moments in history and shape the understanding of African American experiences. It is the first exhibition to be featured in the museum's Special Exhibitions Gallery. In June, 2017 the National Museum of American History opened "The Nation We Build Together," a newly transformed space that invites audiences to explore the common values in America. It features four exhibitions, "American Democracy: A Great Leap of Faith," "Many Voices, One Nation," "Religion in Early America" and "Within These Walls," as well as an interactive program space with hands-on activities, theater presentations and a spotlight on the Greensboro Lunch Counter. The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden presented the world debut of "Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors" with the highest recorded spring visitation since the museum's opening in 1974. The exhibit allowed the visitor to step into an illusion of infinite space. As part of the Hirshhorn's commitment to accessibility, visitors with mobility constraints were able to use virtual reality headsets to experience the exhibition. The Smithsonian American Art Museum presented "American Visionary: John F. Kennedy's Life and Times," an exhibition of images that captured the scope of President John F. Kennedy's life. The opening of the exhibition was the premiere event in the yearlong Centennial Celebration of the former president. | Desc |

| Schedule D, Part II, Line 3 Conservation Easements | SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION DID NOT MODIFY, TRANSFER, RELEASE, EXTINGUISH OR TERMINATE ANY CONSERVATION EASEMENTS DURING THE YEAR. |
| Schedule D, Part II, Line 6 CONSERVATION MONITORING POLICIES | The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) is located on 2,650 acres of land on the Chesapeake Bay in southern Maryland spanning forests, wetlands, marshes, and 12 miles of protected shoreline. The site serves as a natural laboratory for long-term and cutting-edge ecological research. The Smithsonian has a conservation easement associated with property that is immediately adjacent to SERC land owned by the Institution. Facilities and security staff visit the area regularly, and are thus able to report any unusual activity on the land subject to the easement. The organization does not separately track the hours and expenses associated with monitoring the property related to the easement. |
| Schedule D, Part II, Line 9 Conservation easements financial reporting | The Smithsonian Institution's conservation easement does not appear in the Institution's audited financial statements. |
| Schedule D, Part III, Line 1a Collections of art - financial statement footnote | In conformity with the practice generally followed by museums, no value is assigned to the collections in the statement of financial position. Purchases of collection items are recognized as reductions in unrestricted net assets in the period of acquisition. Proceeds from deaccessions or insurance recoveries for lost or destroyed collection items are recognized as increases in the appropriate net asset class and are designated for future collection acquisitions. |
| Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 Collections of art - description of collections | The acquisition, preservation, management, and study of collections are fundamental to the Smithsonian's mission to increase and diffuse knowledge and have been the foundation upon which it rests. Smithsonian collections are a national and global resource accessed each year by millions of visitors and researchers who use traditional methods and cutting-edge technologies to explore subjects from aeronautics to zoology. Through its collections, the Smithsonian presents the astonishing record of American and international artistic, historical, cultural, and scientific achievement, with a scope and depth no other institution in the world can match. Smithsonian collections contribute to population recovery of endangered species, advances in reproductive biology, genome resource banking, medical research, forensic analysis, bio-security, and conservation policy worldwide. Assembled over more than 165 years, the collections are central to the core activities and to the vitality and significance of the Smithsonian. |
| Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Intended uses of endowment funds | THE ENDOWMENT INCLUDES APPROXIMATELY 600 INDIVIDUAL ENDOWMENT FUNDS. THE ENDOWMENT PROVIDES STABLE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR SCHOLARSHIP, RESEARCH ACTIVITIES, OTHER PROGRAMS, ACQUISITIONS OF COLLECTIONS AND OTHER INSTITUTIONAL ACTIVITIES. IT PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE IN ENABLING THE INSTITUTION TO ACHIEVE ITS MISSION - "THE INCREASE AND DIFFUSION OF KNOWLEDGE." THE ENDOWMENT INCLUDES BOTH DONOR-RESTRICTED ENDOWMENT FUND AND FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD OF REGENTS TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS. CLASSIFICATION AND REPORTING OF NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENDOWMENT REFLECT DONOR-IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS. |
| Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote | The Smithsonian recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. The Smithsonian does not believe its financial statements include any uncertain tax positions. |

| Schedule F, Part I, Line 2 Procedures for monitoring use of grant funds | The Office of Fellowships has central management and administrative responsibility for the Smithsonian programs of research fellowships and other academic appointments for undergraduate, graduate students, postdoctoral and senior scholars. The Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Program is a competitive fellowship program for graduate and postdoctoral fellows, who apply to conduct research at the Institution with research staff serving as advisors. The review process is made up of disciplinary committees comprised of the Institution's staff who evaluate the candidates and then select the fellows. There are other competitive and non-competitive fellowships for visiting scholar and student appointees selected through the Smithsonian units that go through a variety of other selection processes before an award is made. An official letter/agreement is provided to each award recipient identifying the award title, dates of tenure, stipend allowances, and required responsibilities for holding this position. All recipients either will identify a financial institution for receipt of their monetary award or they will receive US Treasury checks. Depending on the tenure of the appointment, payments can range from one lump sum, biweekly payments or monthly payments. Most fellowship appointments are awarded for one to two years. On occasion, the Smithsonian Institution has visiting scholars or fellows who are conducting research in another country. Payments are usually submitted as stated above, however, on occasion, there may be one or two who request that their payments be sent to the country of their research. At the end of tenure, a final report of their research accomplishments is provided for our records. Smithsonian research staff who serve as advisors to these fellows, students and scholars are usually in the field during their tenure. The eight Smithsonian research centers located in the United States and one located in Panama monitor the progress of their fellows especially those fellows in other countries, and the administrative management of funds is managed through the Institution's central administration for accountability. |
| Schedule F, Part I, Line 3 foreign travel | Program services for travel related to research, conferences and training is for travel by SI employees, research associates, or invitational travelers (i.e., individuals who are not SI employees). Only travel essential to the performance of official Smithsonian business and for which travel-related expenses are to be paid by the Smithsonian, can be approved, authorized, and reimbursed. |
| Schedule F, Part I, Line 3 investments | Investments in regions include investments in foreign partnerships and foreign corporations. The foreign region is determined by the country whose laws govern the investment entity. The value reported represents the fair market value of the investment at the end of the fiscal year. |
| Schedule F, Part I, Line 3 Academic appointments (stipends) | Per Form 990 instructions, stipends are reported on Schedule F if the person receiving the stipend is living or residing outside the United States at the time the stipend is paid or distributed. However, many of these stipend recipients later traveled to the Smithsonian in the United States to perform their research. |

There are other competitive and non-competitive fellowships for visiting scholar and student appointees selected through the Smithsonian units that go through a variety of other selection processes before an award is made. An official letter/agreement is provided to each award recipient identifying the award title, dates of tenure, stipend allowances, and required responsibilities for holding this position. All recipients either will identify a financial institution for receipt of their monetary award or they will receive US Treasury checks. Depending on the tenure of the appointment, payments can range from one lump sum, biweekly payments or monthly payments. Most fellowship appointments are awarded for one to two years. On occasion, the Smithsonian Institution has visiting scholars or fellows who are conducting research in another country. Payments are usually submitted as stated above, however, on occasion, there may be one or two who request that their payments be sent to the country of their research. At the end of tenure, a final report of their research accomplishments is provided for our records. Smithsonian research staff who serve as advisors to these fellows, students and scholars are usually in the field during their tenure. The eight Smithsonian research centers located in the United States and one located in Panama monitor the progress of their fellows especially those fellows in other countries, and the administrative management of funds is managed through the Institution's central administration for accountability. |

| Explanation | The Office of Fellowships has central management and administrative responsibility for the Smithsonian programs of research fellowships and other academic appointments for undergraduate, graduate students, postdoctoral and senior scholars. The Smithsonian Institution Fellowship Program is a competitive fellowship program for graduate and postdoctoral fellows, who apply to conduct research at the Institution with research staff serving as advisors. The review process is made up of disciplinary committees comprised of the Institution's research staff who evaluate the candidates and then select the fellows.

At the end of tenure, a final report of their research accomplishments is provided for our records. Smithsonian research staff who serve as advisors to these fellows, students and scholars are usually in the field during their tenure. The individual Smithsonian research centers monitor the progress of their fellows, and the funds are managed through the Institution's central administration to ensure accountability. Similar processes are followed for awards made to organizations whose academic staff perform the related research. | ExplanationTxt |

| Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a First Class Travel | One officer listed in Part VII, Section A was authorized for first class travel for bona-fide business purposes when the circumstances of their travel met the requirements of the Smithsonian's travel policy for such travel and first class travel was approved in each instance by that individual's designated "approving official" for travel. The Smithsonian's travel policy is guided by the Federal Travel Regulations as supplemented by the Smithsonian's Travel handbook. The accountable plan for travel reimbursements maintained by the Smithsonian meets IRS requirements, therefore no portion of this travel was treated as taxable compensation. |
| Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Travel for companions | Travel was authorized for the spouse of a person listed in Part VII, Section A when the circumstances of that travel met the requirements of the Smithsonian's policy for such travel. The Smithsonian's policy for payment of spousal or dependent family member travel permits such payment only in limited, exceptional cases, when there is a demonstrated bona fide business purpose for the travel and the travel furthers the mission of the Smithsonian, beyond mere attendance at an event or the performance of incidental services. Such travel is authorized only if approved by the Office of General Counsel and the Office of the Under Secretary for Finance and Administration/Chief Financial Officer in advance. In the calendar year 2016, four (domestic travel) trips were approved for the spouse of an officer. Each trip was authorized consistent with policy. Because it was determined that there was a bona fide business purpose for each trip, the cost of the trips was not treated as taxable income. |

When objects are deaccessioned for disposal by sale, the Smithsonian contracts with commercial galleries or auction houses to sell the objects in order to assure the best return from the sale. |

| Form 990, Part VI, Line 1a Delegate broad authority to a committee | The Bylaws of the organization delegate authority to the Executive Committee to act on behalf of the Board of Regents when the Board of Regents is not in session. The Board of Regents elects from its members an Executive Committee consisting of three members. The Executive Committee has and may exercise all powers of the Board of Regents when the Board of Regents is not in session, except those expressly reserved to itself by the Board of Regents, provided that all such proceedings are reported to the Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board of Regents on a regular basis. The Chair of the Board serves as Chair of the Executive Committee. The Vice Chair of the Board serves as a member of the Executive Committee. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 7a Members or stockholders electing members of governing body | Pursuant to federal statute, the Board of Regents consists of the Vice President of the United States, the Chief Justice of the United States, three members of the U.S. Senate, three members of the U.S. House of Representatives, and nine additional citizen Regents. The three Senators are appointed by the President Pro Tempore of the U.S. Senate, and the three members of the House of Representatives are appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Their appointment terms coincide with the terms for which they are elected, and they may be reappointed if re-elected. The citizen Regents are nominated by the Board of Regents, and appointed by a Joint Resolution of Congress which is signed by the President of the United States. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b Review of form 990 by governing body | The Form 990 return is reviewed by the Director of Finance and Accounting, the Office of General Counsel, Chief Financial Officer and the Secretary of the Smithsonian. The return is also reviewed by an independent accounting firm. After this review process, the 990 is made available to the full Board for its review and comment. The Audit & Review Committee conducts a final review of the return at a regularly scheduled Committee meeting prior to its filing. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c Conflict of interest policy | All officers, key employees, and certain other employees are required to complete and file annually a Confidential Financial Disclosure Report. These Reports - which require disclosure of certain assets, earned income, liabilities, outside positions, outside contracts and agreements, gifts, hospitality, reimbursements, and other interests related to the employee's Smithsonian position - are reviewed by the Institution's Office of General Counsel for compliance with applicable conflict of interest policies and laws. In addition to this required reporting, all key employees are required to comply with the Institution's Standards of Conduct, which, among other things, requires that employees not engage in private or personal activities that might conflict or appear to conflict with Smithsonian interests, requires that employees obtain Office of General Counsel approval before engaging in an outside activity for compensation, and requires employees to consult with the Office of General Counsel whenever a doubt exists as to whether an activity or planned activity violates the Standards. All members of the Smithsonian's governing body are required to complete and file annually the Board of Regents Annual Disclosure Statement. These statements - which require reporting by members (including any reportable interests held by immediate family of members) on outside positions and substantial shareholding in for-profit business entities, outside positions in non-profit entities, and interests and affiliations of the member that have or sought to have a relationship to the Smithsonian - are reviewed by the Institution's General Counsel for compliance with applicable conflict of interest policies and laws. In addition to this required reporting, all members of the Smithsonian's governing body are required to comply with the Board of Regents Ethics Guidelines, which, among other things, define conflicts of interest and establish procedures for disclosing and reporting of conflicts and recusal from decision-making. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a Process to establish compensation of top management official | The Smithsonian ensures that compensation paid to officers and other key employees is reasonable and comparable to similar organizations. Employees of the Smithsonian may be paid with federally appropriated funds or with nonfederal ("Trust") funds. Most Trust funded (nonfederal) officer and key employee positions are subject to market-based compensation, and the Board of Regent's Committee on Compensation and Human Resources engages an independent consultant to develop and assemble comparability data for its consideration and to inform its decisions. The Committee's annual deliberations and decisions are documented as part of the final recommendation materials submitted to the Board of Regents. Salaries for Federal employees are determined by statutorily established pay ranges for civil service employees. As a matter of policy, the Smithsonian has established similar ranges for certain Trust funded officer and key employee positions and maintains those ranges in proportion to the appropriate Federal pay ranges. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b Process to establish compensation of other employees | See explanation for Part VI, Line 15a |
| Form 990, Part VI, Line 19 Required documents available to the public | The Smithsonian makes its governing documents, statement of values and code of ethics, and audited financial statements available on its public website (www.si.edu). Documents may also be viewed at the Office of Finance and Accounting or mailed. |
