        <Explanation>The income taxes topic number 740, "Income Taxes" of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification establishes criterion that an individual tax position has to meet for some or all the benefits of that position to be recognized in an entity's financial statements. On initial application, this criterion will be applied to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remains open. Only tax positions that meet the "more-likely-than-not" recognition threshold at the adoption date will be recognized or continue to be recognized. This criterion was adopted by the Institute on August 1, 2009, and had no impact on the Institute's financial statements. The tax years ended 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 are still open to audit for both federal and District of Columbia purposes. The Institute has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to review other matters that may be considered tax positions.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>The Institute offers scholarships to students matriculating at the Institute. These scholarships are offered as direct reductions to tuition costs and no funds are remit to the students. Since the student may not exercise any personal discretion as to how the funds are applied, the Institute is not required to monitor the use of the funds. Research fellows are chosen based on the qualifications in the area of research determined by the Director of the Center for Culture and Security. Grants are awarded based on grant budgets and funding availability. Once grants are awarded, funds are spent at the fellows discretion. Periodic updates are required as determined by the grant agreement that stipulate outcomes and deliverables. Academic fellows and students requesting scholarships apply to IWP, and are awarded fellowships and scholarships by an admissions committee.</Explanation>
