Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Part III, Line 1A, Part III Line 4The Museum has extensive collections of specimens and artifacts that constitute a record of life on Earth. These valuable, and sometimes irreplaceable, collections have been acquired through field expeditions, contributions and purchases since the Museum's inception and represent one of the largest and most important natural history collections in the world. New collection areas include the Museum's frozen tissue collection of DNA and tissue samples as well as large scientific databases of genomic and astrophysical data. The collections provide a resource for scientists around the world and grow significantly each year. In conformity with accounting policies generally followed by museums, the value of the Museum's collections is not reflected in the consolidated statement of financial position. The Museum's collections policy requires that the proceeds from the sale of collection items be used for acquisitions to the collections. If the assets used to purchase the collection items are from restricted funds, proceeds from the sale of those items are recorded as increases in temporarily restricted net assets in that fund until an acquisition is made.
Part V, Line 4The Museum's endowment funds include both donor-restricted and board of trustees' designated funds. These funds are invested under the oversight of the board's investment committee and are used to support operating, capital and other activities pursuant to appropriation recommended by the board's budget and finance committee and approved by the board of trustees.
PART X, FIN 48 (ASC 740)U.S. GAAP requires that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Museum does not believe its consolidated financial statements include any uncertain tax positions for the open tax years of 2017, 2016, 2015, and 2014 that would have a materially adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Part I, Question 1OVERVIEW The American Museum of Natural History ("AMNHthe "Museum") is one of the largest and most complex natural history museums in the world. It is a diverse scientific, educational and cultural organization that includes a research enterprise of approximately 200 full time scientists; the Richard Gilder Graduate School, which confers the Ph.D. in Comparative Biology and the Master of Arts in Teaching with a concentration in Earth science; collections of more than 34 million specimens and artifacts that constitute an invaluable record of life on Earth; one of the largest natural history libraries in the world, 45 permanent exhibition halls, special exhibition galleries In which It displays award-winning exhibitions, as well as the Rose Center for Earth and Space which houses the Hayden Planetarium, where planetarium shows are shown. The Museum also has a major digital enterprise and online presence, and distributes its scientific and educational content, special exhibitions and planetarium shows to venues in more than 25 countries. The Museum was founded as a nonprofit corporation in 1869 by a special act of the Legislature of the State of New York and is chartered as an educational institution with its scientific research, educational programs and exhibitions under the auspices of the Board of Regents of the State of New York. The AMNH mission, which reflects a close integration of science and education, is "to discover, interpret and disseminate -- through scientific research and education -- knowledge about human cultures, the natural world, and the universe." The Museum is located on approximately 18 acres in Theodore Roosevelt Park across from Central Park in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, the largest city in the United States with a growing and diverse population of 8.5 million and the highest tourism of any city in the United States, with approximately 60 million foreign and domestic tourists a year. The premises of the Museum open to the public include 45 permanent exhibition halls and its special exhibition galleries, the Rose Center for Earth and Space including the Hayden Planetarium, theaters for symposia and public programs, and the library. Other parts of the premises house research laboratories, collections, classrooms, and the Richard Gilder Graduate School. The Museum is open to the public 363 days a year, and admission to the permanent halls and the Rose Center for Earth and Space is on a "suggested" basis. Last year the museums overall attendance was approximately 5 million. AMNH is publicly supported by operating and capital funds from the City of New York and by grants from the City, State, and Federal governments. Additional support comes from individual donations, grants from foundations and corporations, as well as admissions revenue, endowment yield, and ancillary activities. RESEARCH AMNH scientific research is carried out with a full-time scientific staff of approximately 200 who work in biological sciences, paleontology, astrophysics, earth and planetary sciences, and anthropology. AMNH scientists conduct more than 100 expeditions each year around the world and publish their research in peer-reviewed journals at the rate of about 450 publications in FY 2017. The science effort is led currently by 40 tenured or tenure track curators whose research publications have attracted over 200,000 citations. Senior curators have an average citation index (H-index) of 45, regarded as an indication of "outstanding" impact characteristic of only top research institutions. Research facilities utilized by AMNH include the Museums collections, a natural history library and state-of-the-art laboratories as well as other research facilities off site which are available through university consortiums in which AMNH participates. AMNH also owns over 100 acres in the Chiricahua Mountains in Southeastern Arizona with research laboratories and temporary housing for researchers, as well as the 17-acre Great Gull Island, a conservation area located at the eastern end of Long Island Sound in New York State. The work of scientists at the Museum is partially funded by federal agencies including the National Science Foundation, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the National Institutes of Health. AMNHs cross-disciplinary research centers include the Sackler Institute for Comparative Genomics ("SICG"), which advances basic research in molecular biology. The SICG includes a number of science facilities including three genomics laboratories; the Monell Collection for Molecular and Microbial Research (a frozen tissue repository of DNA and tissue specimens); and a parallel computing facility. It also supports the Museums comparative genomics research program. The genomics research programs are complemented by the effort of Museum scientist in phenomics research- the investigation of cell and tissue structure, anatomy, physiology and other complex features of organism and species that are influenced by genes. Thus, the Museums research mission in comparative biology embraces both genomics and phenomics. Research programs in comparative biology are complemented by educational programs and facilities, including the Sackler Education Laboratory, that help convey the critical scientific concepts to diverse audiences. Another research program is the Center for Biodiversity and Conservation (CBC), which surveys and studies biological diversity, provides educational and training programs and strives to mitigate threats to the Earths ecosystems. CBCs projects in the Bahamas, the Solomon Islands, British Columbia, Bolivia, Argentina, and Vietnam, integrate multidisciplinary research and the Museums collections and technology for training and collaborative problem solving. CBC is also working to develop tools to support the professionalization of the global protected area workforce and to incorporate indigenous and local knowledge into biodiversity assessments. COLLECTIONS and LIBRARY The Museums collections number over 34 million specimens and artifacts and are among the largest and most comprehensive in the world. The collections constitute an invaluable record of life on Earth and are maintained to facilitate the study and understanding of 4.5 billion years of change in Earths geology, climate, and the 3.5-billion-year history of its habitats and life forms. The collections typically increase by between fifty and one hundred thousand specimens and artifacts each year. New collections and facilities include the Museums frozen tissue collection of DNA with tissue samples that form a repository for research at AMNH and other institutions, often including specimens of endangered species such as those deposited by researchers under permit from the National Park Service. Other new forms of collections include large scientific digital databases of genomic and astrophysical data. The collections and research assets are enriched by continued exploration of such diverse areas as Mongolia, Kenya, British Columbia, Argentina, South Africa, Guatemala, Congo, Costa Rica, China, Belize, Bahamas, Arctic islands, Antarctica, Vanuatu, Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, India, Chile, Brazil, Columbia, Peru, Australia, Indonesia, New Guinea, Romania, and many others. AMNH provides research material for other institutions, typically with loans of hundreds of thousands of specimens outstanding at any given time. Its collections are also made available for study on site to research scientists and students annually, to more than 1,000 researchers in FY 2017. The Library of the American Museum of Natural History was established in 1869 with the founding of the Museum. Since that time, the Library has grown into one of the largest natural history libraries in the world, with a collection that is rich in retrospective materials, some going back to the 15th century. The Library's holdings comprise a research collection with topics that span the full range of the natural sciences, special collections (which consist of archival material relating to the history of the Museum, its scientists and staff, scientific expeditions and research, Museum exhibitions and educational offerings), and digital collections. It also includes an astronomy collection, which consists of over 8,000 volumes, 55 journal titles, over 10,000 photographs, and archives dating back to 1934, one year before the opening of the original Hayden Planetarium. The Library's primary function is to serve and support the work of the Museum's scientific staff; however, it also serves local students, faculty, researchers, and the general public, as well as scholars nationally and internationally.
Part I, Question 1 (Continued)EDUCATION THE RICHARD GILDER SCHOOL ("RGGS"GRADUATE SCHOOL") IS accredited by the New York State Board of Regents and confers the degrees of Doctor of PHILOSOPHY ("PH.D.") IN COMPARATIVE BIOLOGY AND MASTER OF ARTS ("M.A.") In teaching earth and planetary science, the first and only museum in the United States authorized to do so. The Graduate Schools students publish papers in leading academic journals during or based on work from their studies at the Graduate School. RGGS students continue to be highly successful in securing distinguished grants, awards, and post-graduate positions. This year, four RGGS graduates received tenure or career-track faculty positions; one graduate was awarded a two-year Fellowship in the Directors Office at the NSF; and a current doctoral student was awarded an extremely competitive NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Seven years ago, the New York State Board of Regents selected AMNH to pilot a Master of Arts in Teaching program for K-12 science teachers with conferral of the degree by the Board of Regents, the first freestanding masters degree program offered by a U.S. museum to prepare science teachers. The Regents pilot program was completed in August 2016, and the Regents approved an amendment of the AMNH charter authorizing AMNH itself to confer the degree of Master of Arts in Teaching. The Master of Arts in Teaching program now resides in the Graduate School along with the Ph.D. program. Now in its sixth year, the Museums innovative Master of Arts in Teaching Earth Science (MAT) program has a nearly 100 percent job placement rate, and 70 graduates are currently teaching in high-needs schools, reaching nearly 8,400 students annually. To further advance training of the next generation of scientists, the Graduate School also conducts a doctoral training program in collaboration with four universities: Cornell, Columbia, New York University, and the City University of New York, and maintains an active post-doctoral program. The Graduate School also offers an undergraduate training program, which provides a select group of undergraduate students with intensive research experience in such subjects as evolutionary biology, earth and planetary sciences, and astrophysics. For K-12 teachers, the Museum has extensive professional development programs that annually train over 4,000 K-12 science teachers, both online and on site. Many of the programs offered to teachers are graduate credit bearing, furthering pursuit of advanced degrees in science education through the City University of New York and other universities. The Museum also offers teachers four massive open online courses (known AS "MOOCS"), Genetics & Society, The Dynamic Earth, Our Earths Future, and Evolution, co-authored and co-taught by graduate-level museum scientists and educators. Each year, a total of approximately 48,000 learners from around the world are engaged in the current slate of four courses; approximately 40% are teachers. In addition, organized school and camp groups with approximately 500,000 students and teachers visit the Museums permanent halls and special exhibitions each year, and many participate in the Museums after-school programs. Among the Museums signature education programs for middle school students is the Urban Advantage initiative, which is now in its 14th year. Urban Advantage is a middle school science enrichment program developed by the Museum with the NYC Department of Education and operated by the Museum and seven other science institutions of New York City. The program has grown to annually reach over 289 schools, 835 teachers and over 84,800 students throughout all five boroughs of New York City in FY 2017. Now reaching over 45% of New York Citys public middle schools, in 2016-2017, UA is piloting an expansion into 80 NYC elementary schools, engaging over 200 elementary school teachers and serving roughly 15,000 students and their families, with particular focus on the neediest schools. Among programs for high school students, the Museum leads a consortium of local institutions to expand the Museums innovative and successful Science Research Mentoring Program (SRMP). The SRMP program was pioneered by the Museum with support from the National Science Foundation and NASA as an out-of-school approach to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) preparation for high-potential, underserved high school students, to offer opportunities for participation in authentic research alongside a working scientist. SRMP students research has focused on various fields of study, from using computer models to analyze newborn stars and forming planets to classifying amphibians and reptiles collected in Vietnam. The programs graduates have been accepted into undergraduate programs at such institutions as Barnard College, Brown University, City University of New York, and Columbia University, among others. With support from the Helen Gurley Brown Trust in FY 2017, the Museum continued its Bridge Up: STEM program, a youth learning program for high school aged girls in computational science. Focused on supporting young women and youth from low-resources and low-income communities the program serves 45 high school girls annually in an intensive program that teaches programming skills aligned to scientific research. The program continues to engage and energize its participants and imbue them with confidence in their new skills and knowledge, and program retention has been almost 100 percent. The Museum also produces and distributes curricula, lesson plans, and resource materials for classroom use, as well as for use in libraries and community organizations, to support science teaching and learning in New York City. These materials are widely available online to communities throughout the State of New York, the U.S., and the world, through the Museums continued investment in digital media. The Museum further extends the reach of its educational programs through after-hours public programs, including the monthly SciCaf series, which features popular presentations by Museum curators, and the annual Isaac Asimov Debate led by Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson, the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium. The Museum also convenes international conferences and convenings on scientific, environmental, cultural, and educational topics, including the annual Margaret Mead Film Festival, the longest running showcase for international documentary films in anthropology. EXHIBITIONS The Museum creates and mounts its award-winning exhibitions, science video bulletin displays, and planetarium shows for display at AMNH and distribution to museums, science centers, and planetaria in numerous venues in more than 25 countries. Opening in FY 2017, the exhibition Cuba! (Fall 2016) was a bilingual exhibition about the Caribbean island nation. It highlighted the countrys vibrant culture as well as its extraordinary biodiversity across its remote forests, mysterious caves, expansive wetlands and dazzling reefs. The exhibition took visitors inside the Cuban experience: introducing its peoples and traditions, explored its varied landscapes and highlighted its rare and unusual species to provide new perspectives on this intriguing country so close to our shores. Mummies (Spring 2017), on loan from the Field Museum, Chicago, Illinois, gave a rare, up-close look at one of the largest collections of mummies in North America. The exhibition explored the intersection between societies, their environment and the preparations they made for the dead. The latest technologies are making it possible for scientists to discover more details about each mummy and the precious objects buried with it. The exhibition included mummies and coffins, burial goods including some animal mummies, stone mummy masks, false tomb doors, 3D-printed casts of mummies and burial figures, forensically reconstructed sculptural busts, CT scans and interactive touch tables for digitally unwrapping mummies and exploring their interiors. Inside You (Summer 2017) This panel version of the popular traveling exhibition introduces visitors to the idea that our bodies are home to approximately 100 trillion bacteria living inside us and on us, along with even more viruses and other microorganisms. This vast community is referred to as our microbiome. In addition to the exhibitions on display at the Museum listed above, exhibitions travelling to other venues or available for travel included the following: -The Secret World Inside You explores the rapidly evolving science that is revealing complexities of the human microbiome and redefining our notions of human health.
