        <ExplanationTxt>The American Board of Pediatrics Foundation (ABPF) recognizes the tax benefit from a tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The ABPF has analyzed its tax positions taken for filings with the Internal Revenue Service. The ABPF believes that its income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the ABPF's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Accordingly, the ABPF has not recorded any tax assets or liabilities, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain tax positions for the years ended October 21, 2017 and 2016</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Pediatric Milestones 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 is studying 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. Over this past year we completed work for the second decision and study of the third decision was initiated. To date, almost one thousand unique learners were studied and the results have been quite positive. The research supports the validity evidence of the items and tools that were created to assess pediatrics residents as they deliver care to patients. Part of this effort has been to disseminate this work to others in the medical profession who may be interested in engaging in similar work for their disciplines to benefit patients of all ages.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>MOCA Peds Evaluation - The American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) has committed to exploring alternatives to the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) part 3 requirements for diplomates of the board. The ABP plans to pilot a replacement for the current general pediatrics MOC part 3 exam beginning in January 2017 through 2018. The plan, if successful, and will replace the every 10-year general pediatrics re-certification exam with a series of test questions presented to diplomates on a continuous basis throughout their career. The new system, MOCA-Peds, incorporates and leverages information technology to improve and streamline learning and assessment for the benefit of the pediatrician. Diplomates will be presented a series of questions each year that will be based on a pre-determined set of learning objectives; question delivery will be spread out into equal increments by quarter. As diplomates respond to each question, they will receive immediate feedback about the answer to the question, rationale for the correct answer to the question, and supporting references. The ability to make a summative evaluation at the individual level is a critical component of the planned system. Diplomates will be expected to answer questions without collaborating with their peers. Resource materials will be allowed, but since questions will be timed the reliance on resources will likely be minimal. The proposed system is planned to be available via mobile app and portal. To support this and other work related to the change, the ABP Foundation hired RTI International (RTI) under a Master Service Agreement (MSA) to provide research services and support to the American Board of Pediatrics Foundation (ABPF). This project is designed to evaluate both research and practical questions related to the preparation for and implementation of the pilot of the general pediatrics version of MOCA-Peds in 2017 and 2018. Currently ten tasks that have been awarded to RTI for this work which include the following: user-centered design process with user groups (Task 1), focus groups at major CME events, pediatric conferences, and through virtual meeting (Task 2), summative assessment work (Task 4), manuscript support (Task 6), survey programming, hosting, and status reporting during the 2017 pilot (Task 7), survey development, analyses, and reporting for the 2017 pilot (task 8), focus groups with participating diplomates during the 2017 pilot (Task 9) and User-centered design process with subspecialist use groups (Task 10), cohort focus groups and survey analysis (Task 12) and subspecialty focus group on feasibility and maintaining general pediatrics certification (task 13). Task 1-2 were completed during calendar year 2017, task 4-13 will be completed across calendar years 2017 and 2018.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Census Survey Research Support and Analysis - In 2009, the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP), as part of a research agreement with the Child Health Evaluation and Research (CHEAR) Unit at the University of Michigan, launched a census survey project which tracks the work experiences and choices of pediatricians over the continuum of their career, beginning from residency throughout Maintenance of Certification. Currently, the surveys are administered at the following points in a pediatrician's career, for a total of 7 unique surveys with some common questions to allow both a snapshot of the field as well as trends. (1) Residency Year 1-3 (The same survey is administered each year to all 3 training levels). (2) Application for the General Pediatrics (GP) Initial Certifying Examination, (3) Administration of the GP Initial Certifying Examination, (4) Application for Subspecialty (SS) Initial Certifying Examination, (5) Administration of the SS Initial Certifying Examination and (6) Re-enrollment into Maintenance of Certification (MOC) (every 5 years). In 2017, during the project period, a new survey was created for administration at the time of the (7) Subspecialty In-training Examination (SITE; this same survey is administered every year during fellowship). The census survey project will allow the ABP Foundation to better understand training, the current workforce, and the workforce trends as both generalist and subspecialty pediatricians are tracked in the aggregate starting in residency and continuing throughout their careers. These surveys collect information related to (but not limited to) career choice, career path, and practice characteristics. This project is a continuation of the initial work that began in FY2014.</ExplanationTxt>
