The income earned on the investments is temporarily restricted until appropriated and generally used in the period it is earned. Part X, Line 2: PRB follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. PRB has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and all state jurisdictions where it operates. PRB believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on PRB's financial position, results of activities or cash flows. Accordingly, PRB has not recorded any reserves or related accruals for taxes, interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at September 30, 2015 and 2014. PRB is open to examination by taxing authorities from 2012 forward. true Sub-Saharan Africa Grantmaking 9048 Sub-Saharan Africa Grantmaking 351927 Sub-Saharan Africa Grantmaking 21433 382408 382408 Sub-Saharan Africa RESEARCH 9048 WIRE Sub-Saharan Africa ADVOCACY 351927 WIRE Sub-Saharan Africa ADVOCACY 21433 WIRE 3 false false false false false false Part I, Line 2: PRB issues a Request for Proposals, which are carefully reviewed by both internal and external reviewers.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4A: continued Program Service Accomplishments (Continued) - With support from Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, PRB's RENEW project focused on strengthening commitments and resources to alleviate malnutrition in pregnant women and children. In Nigeria, PRB collaborated with a multisectoral task force, headed by the Nutritional Division in the MInistry of Health's Department of Family Health, to produce a multimedia presentation, "Malnutrition: Nigeria's Silent Crisis". One PRB community focues on the demographic dividend - the accelerated economic growth that may result when a rapid decline in a country's fertility rate leads to an increase in the working-age population relative to the number of dependents, and the right mix of policies are in place to take advantage of this. With support from David and Lucille Packard Foundation, PRB took two important steps in 2015 to facilitate global discussion and advocacy around the demographic dividend in Africa: A demographic dividend website launched in partnership with Bill & Melinda Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health at the Johns Hopkins University to aggregate relevant research, resources and news; A Regional Coordination Group in sub-Saharan Africa comprising nearly 60 individuals from 24 organizations, who focus on the issue and meet quarterly to share knowledge. In April 2015 in Nairobi, PRB launched a report on the growing threat of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in Africa. NCDs-notably cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory conditions, and diabetes-are the leading causes of death in every world region except Africa. Current trends show Africa joining the rest by 2030. Form 990, Part III, Line 4B: continued U.S. Programs (Continued) - PRB manages the American Community Survey (ACS) Data Users Group in partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau.

The ACS Data Users Group facilitates learning and information sharing through an online community, webinars, and sessions at professional meetings. PRB also organizes and leads an annual ACS Data Users Conference. PRB has conducted policy communication trainings for researchers from developing countries over four decades, primarily with funding from USAID. For the first time last year, an inaugural class of U.S.-focused doctoral students convened in mid-2015, thanks to new support from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The PRB analysis generated significant press coverage and helped put Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) on U.S. policy radar screens. PRB staff were interviewed for feature stories by ABC News, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, and others. They also presented the findings at an informal U.S. congressional briefing. Form 990, Part III, Line 4C: continued COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAMS (continued) - For the past 25 years, PRB has strengthened the capacity of journalists to understand and cover population, health, and gender issues.
