The grant, to which ASTS is a sub-contractor, established and now operates a national system to provide reimbursement of travel and subsistence expenses, and other non-medical expenses, that may be authorized by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to individuals being evaluated for and/or undergoing living organ donation. Priority is given to those individuals who cannot otherwise afford the expenses. ASTS administers the day-to-day operations of the program with government funds, as outlined on page 10. Applications are filed by transplant centers on behalf of the living donor and reviewed weekly. Approved applicants are provided a controlled value card to pay for approved expenses. Over 2000 individuals have donated an organ with the assistance of the program and 87% report that NLDAC made it possible for them to donate. 495587 158037 State of the Art Winter Symposium: The annual winter symposium is a topic-driven meeting that provides an opportunity for in depth exploration of the emerging issues facing the field of transplantation. It promotes exchange of clinical and scientific data through didactic lessons, poster sessions, and debates. The symposium provides a forum for interchange of new information and an opportunity to learn from leaders in the field of transplantation and emerging scientists. The 2012 symposium addressed surgical challenges and creative solutions and was held in conjunction with another transplant organization in order to foster the multi-disciplinary approach to transplant surgery. Attendees (ASTS members and others) learn through interchange with leading experts, poster presenters, debates, and the use of an audience response system that allows attendees test their knowledge and opinions and observe how their views/responses compare to other learners. 277139 166630 Fellowship Training: ASTS is the recognized accrediting body for transplant surgery and the only provider of this service to the transplant community. Approximately 75 fellows each year enter ASTS accredited fellowship training programs. To support training the next generation of transplant surgeons, ASTS has developed strict accreditation standards for training programs and provides a system of ongoing review to ensure programs meet these standards. Currently, 75 programs out of 250 transplant centers in the United States and Canada are accredited by ASTS. Fellows are provided a robust curriculum with online learning modules and participate in a symposium specially designed to address frequently cited gaps in clinical training. To successfully complete an ASTS accredited program, fellows must demonstrate sufficient surgical experience in assigned organ systems and complete required educational activities. Upon completion of training, each fellow's experience is reviewed by the Fellowship Training Committee and those that meet all criteria are issued a certification of completion from an ASTS accredited program. 1301465 33677 1684919 Leadership Development Program: A highly customized program designed for clinical and administrative leaders that provides education on essential skills necessary to successfully lead transplant centers within a complex financial and regulatory environment.Additional programs include Public Awareness, Joint ASTS/AST, and Grants and Awards. 1301465 33677 1684919 4071534 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 20 0 1 11 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 OR VA OK PA RI SC TN UT TX WA WV WI MA MD MN MI MS MO NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH AL AK CA CO AZ DE DC FL GA IL KS KY ME CT X ASTS co Kimberly A Gifford Execut 7034147870 2461 South Clark Street Ste 640 Arlington VA 22202 Mitchell L Henry MD 12.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael M Abecassis MD 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Robert M Merion MD 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Kim M Olthoff MD 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Alan N Langnas MD 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Charles M Miller MD 3.00 X X 0 0 0 R Mark Ghobrial MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth A Pomfret MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Stuart A Flechner MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 David C Mulligan MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Robert S Higgins MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lewis WTeperman MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sandy Feng MD PhD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marwan S Abouljoud MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 John C Magee MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kim M Olthoff MD 12.00 X X 0 0 0 Mitchell L Henry MD 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael M Abecassis MD 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Alan N Langnas MD 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Timothy L Pruett MD 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Charles M Miller MD 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Jean C Emond MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Abhinav Humar MD 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lloyd E Ratner MD MPH 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kimberly Gifford MBA 38.00 2.00 X 167963 12037 18939 Laurel Kulikosky 39.80 0.20 X 108622 673 8485 Patricia Hollyn Warren 40.00 X 104487 0 16987 381072 12710 44411 3 0 1 0 Kellogg School of Management 2169 Campus Drive Evanston IL 60208 Educational services 146840 Powers Pyle Sutter & Verville 1501 M St NW 7th Floor Washington DC 20005 Public policy consulting 145988 John Wiley & Sons Inc 350 Main Street Malden MA 02148 Publishing services 113719 3 2032277 495852 2528129 Conferences & meetings 611430 1206415 1206415 Leadership development 611430 323837 323837 Dues 900099 199790 199790 Accreditation income 611710 166630 166630 Publications 511120 86200 86200 1982872 1544 1544 429510 429510 12375 4561 7814 7814 Miscellaneous income 900099 18900 18900 List rentals 900099 9500 9500 28400 4978269 2009586 0 440554 X 33677 33677 194021 165216 26782 2023 611638 520301 84967 6370 32660 28095 4221 344 95195 81888 12304 1003 58445 50276 7554 615 36539 26845 9451 243 72416 66426 5539 451 81543 81543 552007 540651 11284 72 147900 132508 14309 1083 62692 61981 657 54 173741 149455 22456 1830 293572 252588 38375 2609 288889 244293 42191 2405 6633 5706 857 70 7743 6660 1001 82 Organ donor assistance 1564365 1564365 Honoraria 31070 31070 CME Accreditation 22490 22490 Dues & Subscriptions 4277 3894 354 29 1844 1606 219 19 4373357 4071534 282521 19302 146666 325373 1266715 1939454 593106 735365 6066 5460 94099 132810 157241 104629 29677 52612 693805 267947 18245 18245 2848379 3477266 82372 159201 272867 220013 355239 379214 X 2210285 2928992 282855 169060 2493140 3098052 2848379 3477266 604912 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 2285092 2169089 1556648 2097379 2528129 10636337 2285092 2169089 1556648 2097379 2528129 10636337 2272466 8363871 430604 279535 483310 391279 440554 2025282 56820 26312 30796 36068 18900 168896 12830515 7559652 0.65190 0.54610 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 81543 0 0 81543 0 33899 15383 18516 123342 89246 34096 52612 Equity in joint council 267947 F 267947 X 4982830 4561 4561 4978269 0 4978269 4377918 4561 4561 4373357 0 4373357 Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: Part X, Line 2: Management evaluated ASTS's tax positions, and has determined that no significant uncertain tax positions qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2012 and 2011.
