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 4 The 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 2016, 2015, 2014, and 2013 that would have a materially adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements. true Antarctica Program Services SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH 5454 Central America and the Caribbean Program Services SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH 52982 Central America and the Caribbean Program Services EXHIBITION 3904 East Asia and the Pacific Program Services SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH 283042 East Asia and the Pacific Program Services EXHIBITION 231 East Asia and the Pacific Program Services EDUC & OTHER 840 Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) Program Services EXHIBITION 107611 Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) Program Services SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH 366383 Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) Program Services EDUC & OTHER 160129 Middle East and North Africa Program Services EXHIBITION 174347 Middle East and North Africa Program Services SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH 1944 North America Program Services EXHIBITION 12699 North America Program Services SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH 96451 North America Program Services EDUC & OTHER 135738 Russia and the Newly Independent States Program Services SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH 2842 South America Program Services EXHIBITION 4250 South America Program Services SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH 51498 South America Program Services EDUC & OTHER 2620 South Asia Program Services SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH 9200 Sub-Saharan Africa Program Services SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH 143889 Central America and the Caribbean Investments 143397426 Europe (Including Iceland and Greenland) Investments 1432879 East Asia and the Pacific Grantmaking SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH 110585 1460345 145096599 146556944 East Asia and the Pacific RESEARCH 110585 WIRE TRANSF 1 true false true true true false PART I, LINE 2 THE USE OF GRANT FUNDS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN RESEARCH COLLABORATION IS MONITORED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE AMNH SUB-AWARD ADMINISTRATION AND MONITORING POLICY, THE AMNH GRANTS MANUAL AND TITLE 2 U.S. CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS ("CFR") PART 200, UNIFORM ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS, COST PRINCIPLES, AND AUDIT REQUIREMENTS FOR FEDERAL AWARDS ("UNIFORM GUIDANCE")REQUIREMENTS.

Part I, Question 1 OVERVIEW 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 33 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 distributes its scientific and educational content, special exhibitions and planetarium shows to venues in more than 20 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 50 million foreign and domestic tourists a year. The premises of the Museum open to the public include 45 permanent exhibition halls, theaters for symposia and public programs, the library, and the Rose Center for Earth and Space, including the Hayden Planetarium. 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 MUSEUM'S 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 astrophysics, earth and planetary sciences, paleontology, biological 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 250 publications in FY 2016. 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, which advances basic research in molecular BIOLOGY. THE SACKLER INSTITUTE FOR COMPARATIVE GENOMICS (THE "SACKLER INSTITUTE") 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 SCIENTISTS 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. The Centers projects in the Bahamas, the Solomon Islands, British Columbia, Argentina, and Vietnam, integrate multidisciplinary research and the Museums collections and technology for training and collaborative problem solving. In the Fall of 2015, the Center led an historic collaborative expedition with Cuban scientists to conduct the most comprehensive survey to date of Cubas largest forest reserve, and area extremely rich in known and newly discovered species. The Center 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 33 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, Cuba, Congo, Costa Rica, China, Belize, Bahamas, Arctic islands, Antarctica, Vanuatu, Thailand, 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 2016. 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, education and general administration), 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. Part I, Question 1 (Continued) 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. EDUCATION THE RICHARD GILDER GRADUATE SCHOOL ("RGGS"GRADUATE SCHOOL") IS ACCREDITED BY THE NEW YORK STATE BOARD OF REGENTS AND CONFERS THE DEGREES OF DOCTOR OR PHILOSOPHY ("PH.D.") AND MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY ("M.PHIL"), THE FIRST AND ONLY MUSEUM IN THE UNITED STATES AUTHORIZED TO DO SO. THE GRADUATE SCHOOL'S STUDENTS PUBLISH PAPERS IN LEADING ACADEMIC JOURNALS DURING OR BASED ON WORK FROM THEIR STUDIES AT THE GRADUATE SCHOOL. RGGS STUDENTS ENJOY 60-80% SUCCESS RATES IN MAJOR NSF GRANT AND FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS, INCLUDING FOUR NEW NSF DOCTORAL DISSERTATION GRANTS IN FY2016. Six 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 ended in August 2016, and the Regents have approved an amendment of the AMNH charter authorizing AMNH itself to confer the degree of Master of Arts in Teaching and subsequently accredited the program. It now resides in the Graduate School along with the Ph.D. program. 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 three massive open online courses (known AS "MOOCS"), GENETICS & SOCIETY, THE DYNAMIC EARTH, AND EVOLUTION, CO-AUTHORED AND CO-TAUGHT BY PHD-LEVEL MUSEUM SCIENTISTS AND EDUCATORS. TOTAL ENROLLMENT IN THESE COURSES TO DATE IN THE U.S. AND INTERNATIONALLY IS OVER 110,000 REGISTERED STUDENTS. 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 12th 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 reach over 281 schools, 790 teachers and over 77,600 students throughout all five boroughs of New York City in FY2016. 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), which continued in FY2016. 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 FY2016, the Museum continued its new 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 programs first year was very successful: the girls are energized and confident in their new skills and knowledge, and program retention has been almost 100 PERCENT. THE NEXT PHASE OF THE WORK-PILOTING A MIDDLE SCHOOL INITIATIVE TO SUPPORT BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS FROM UNDER-RESOURCED SCHOOLS--HAS BEEN LAUNCHED AND WILL ACCELERATE IN YEARS 2 AND 3. 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 distributes its award-winning exhibitions, science video bulletin displays, and planetarium shows to museums, science centers, and planetaria in numerous venues in more than 20 countries. Opening in FY2016, the exhibition Dinosaurs Among Us (Spring 2016) examined how one group of dinosaurs evolved into the fascinating living creatures we call birds. Exploring topics ranging from flight to feathers, nests to wishbones and the biology of brains and morphology of lungs, the exhibition highlighted the continuities between living DINOSAURS-BIRDS-AND THEIR EXTINCT ANCESTORS. IN THE PROCESS, IT SHOWCASED REMARKABLE NEW EVIDENCE FOR WHAT SCIENTISTS NOW CALL ONE OF THE BEST-DOCUMENTED EVOLUTIONARY TRANSITIONS IN THE HISTORY OF LIFE. Crocs: Ancient Predators in a Modern World (Spring 2016) - explored the COMPLEX LIVES OF CROCODILLIANS-THE GROUP INCLUDING CORCODILES, ALLIGATORS, CAIMANS AND GHARIALS-THEIR EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY, BIOLOGY, BEHAVIOR AND PRECARIOUS RELATIONSHIPS WITH HUMAN SOCIETIES. CROCS: ANCIENT PREDATORS IN A MODERN WORLD IMMERSED VISITORS IN THE WORLD OF CROCS, WITH ENGAGING INTERACTIVES, MODELS, ARTIFACTS AND LIVE ANIMALS. The Titanosaur In January 2016, the Museum added the cast of a 122-foot long dinosaur to its world-famous fossil halls. This giant herbivore--ONE OF THE LARGEST DINOSAURS EVER DISCOVERED- WAS UNEARTHED IN PATAGONIA. IT WOULD HAVE WEIGHED 70 TONS IN LIFE AND IS SO NEW IT HASN'T BEEN NAMED YET. THE ANIMAL'S NECK GRAZES THE WALLACH ORIENTATION CENTER'S 19-FOOT CEILINGS AND ITS HEAD PEEKS INQUISITIVELY OUT THE DOOR, WELCOMING VISITORS TO THE FOSSIL HALLS. Titanosaur Fossils (January 2016) The cast of the Titanosaur was accompanied by a display of five gigantic Titanosaur fossil bones, excavated in 2014 by scientists at Argentinas Museo Paleontologico Egidio Feruglio. The Secret World Inside You (Fall 2015) - Our bodies are home to APPROXIMATELY 100 TRILLION BACTERIA LIVING INSIDE US AND ON US-ALING WITH EVEN MORE VIRUSES AND OTHER MIRCROORGANISMS. THE SECRET WORLD INSIDE YOU EXPLORES THE RAPIDLY EVOLVING SCIENCE THAT IS REVEALING COMPLEXITIES AND THE HUMAN MICROBIOME AND REDEFINING OUR NOTIONS OF HUMAN HEALTH. THIS PERSPECTIVE WILL PROVE CRITICAL IN PREVENTING COMMON HEALTH PROBLEMS INCLUDING ALLERGIES, ASTHMA AND OBESITY. Part I, Question 1 (Continued) Opulent Oceans (Fall 2015) Inspired by the book Opulent Oceans: Extraordinary Rare Book Selections from the American Museum of Natural History Library, by Dr. Melanie L.J. Stiassny, the Axelrod Research Curator and Curator in the Department of Ichthyology, the exhibition includes 46 striking, large-format reproductions from 32 rare and beautifully illustrated scientific works from the Museums Library. In addition to those listed above, exhibitions on display at the Museum, travelling to other venues, or available for travel included the following: -Countdown to Zero: Defeating Disease focuses on the efforts to achieve education of guinea worm disease, river blindness, lymphatic filariasis, polio and malaria. Created in collaboration with the Carter Center. -Spiders Alive! features live spiders.
