        <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 be 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 income tax positions for the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>1) Pediatric Milestone Assessment Collaboration (PMAC) - The vision and mission of the Pediatric Milestones Assessment Collaboration is to provide all pediatric residents and fellows with assessments 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, the 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 is a multi-year project. Over the previous year, we engaged with 11 training program to assess approximately 300 learners. Assessment instruments included items to address 11 competencies and their milestones. Analysis of the items and tools showed high reliability and a strong validity argument that supports the use of our tools to make decisions about the readiness of a trainee to care for an inpatient without a supervisor immediately available.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>MOCA 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. The plan, if successful, 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. This change will be supported by a new IT system that will focus on both learning and assessment of knowledge about general pediatrics. The new system, MOCA-Peds, will present diplomates with approximately 80-85 questions per year that will be based on a pre-determined set of learning objectives; question delivery will be spread out into equal increments by quarter. Up to five questions will be based on new guidelines or emerging topics. 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, supporting references, and other materials to support their continuing education about the learning objective(s) being evaluated. 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 a mobile app or web portal. To support this and other work related to the change, the ABP Foundation hired RTI International (RTI) under a Master Services Agreement (MSA) to provide research services and support to the American Board of Pediatrics Foundation (APBF). 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. Currently eight 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 meetings (Task 2), * psychometric analyses consulting (Task 3), * IRB consulting (Task 5), * 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 user groups (Task 10 pending contract completion). Tasks 1-2 and 5 are being completed during calendar year 2016, task 5-6 will be completed across calendar years 2016 and 2017, and tasks 7-10 will be completed across calendar years 2016, 2017 and early 2018.</ExplanationTxt>

        <ExplanationTxt>Longitudinal Survey Research Support and Analysis - In 2009, the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP), as part of a research agreement with Dr. Gary Freed at the Child Health Evaluation and Research (CHEAR) Unit at the University of Michigan, launched a longitudinal survey project which tracks the work experiences and choices of pediatricians over the continuum of their career, beginning from their residency throughout Maintenance of Certification. Currently, the surveys are administered at the following points in a pediatrician's career, for a total of 6 unique surveys with some common questions to allow both a snapshot of the field as well as trends: * Residency Years 1-3 (The same survey is administered each year to all 3 training levels), * Application for the General Pediatrics (GP) Initial Certifying Examination, * Administration of the GP Initial Certifying Examination, * Application for the Subspecialty (SS) Initial Certifying Examination, * Administration of the SS Initial Certifying Examination, and * Re-enrollment into Maintenance of Certification (MOC) (every 5 years). During the project period, a new survey was created for the administration of the Subspecialty In-training examination (SSITE) starting in 2017. This longitudinal survey project will allow the ABP Foundation to better understand training, the current workforce, and workforce trends as both generalist and subspecialty pediatricians are tracked 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>
