FORM 990, PART VI, Line 12C MONITORING AND ENFORCING CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY - Pew Research requires each member of the Board of Directors to annually complete a form to disclose any potential conflicts of interest. The forms are collected by the Board Secretary who provides them to the Board Chair for review and approval. All employees of Pew Research including officers and key employees are required, upon hiring and annually thereafter, to report their potential conflicts of interest. The Human Resources Director meets with Pew Reserch Center's officers to review all potential conflicts. All actual conflicts are reported to the Board of Directors.

FORM 990, PART VI, Line 15 PROCESS FOR DETERMINING COMPENSATION - For the Organization's Senior Executives, including those persons considered "disqualified persons" for purposes of the IRS intermediate sanctions regulations (president, executive vice president, and vice president), the Pew Research Center annually engages an independent compensation consulting firm to conduct a compensation study. The compensation study considers similar organizations and industry compensation surveys when determining reasonable compensation for its officers and key employees. The results of the study are reported in a memo to the board of directors. The Board uses the memo in review, deliberation, and approval of the compensation for officers and key employees. The process was last completed in May 2010. For other staff members, Pew Research engages an independent compensation consulting firm every three years to conduct a comprehensive study of the market for every Pew Research position below the senior executive level. Compensation for Pew Research staff is based on the results of that study, which is used to create a system of salary ranges for Pew Research based on the marketplace. In the years between comprehensive studies, Pew Research salary ranges are adjusted annually for movement in the marketplace. Pew Research Center's independent compensation consultant annually prepares a memorandum for the Board that describes overall marketplace movement and recommends a market-based amount for adjusting Pew Research's salary ranges. Individual salaries are also adjusted based on individual performance. Individual adjustments are made by the president, officers and key employees, who rely on the annual and triennial compensation reports when determining compensation for employees of Pew Research. The last triennial study was completed in May 2010. The last salary range movement memorandum was completed in May 2010.
