Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.THE EDWARD J. STEMMLER, MD MEDICAL EDUCATION RESEARCH FUNDIn 1995, NBME established the Edward J. Stemmler, MD Medical Education Research Fund. The Fund makes grants to support research in topics relevant to the mission of NBME. The initial sum of $5,000,000 was invested and professionally managed with the goal of maintaining the corpus of the Fund over time while providing total annual grants up to 5% of the trailing three-year average of the fund balance. As with all NBME invested funds, the Finance Committee monitors performance and recommends to the Executive Board any changes to the principal balance of the Fund.THE STRATEGIC EDUCATOR ENHANCEMENT FUNDIn 2017, NBME established the Strategic Educator Enhancement Fund to foster professional development for its community of volunteers and other stakeholders. The initial amount of $20,000,000 was designated within NBMEs investments as a quasi-endowment fund. The maximum annual authorized disbursement from the quasi-endowment fund for 2017 through 2019 was an average of $600,000 per year. Beginning in 2020, the maximum annual disbursement in any year is equal to 5% of the average of the trailing three-years ending balance of the investments.
Part X : FIN48 FootnoteThe Internal Revenue Service has classified NBME as exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC).U.S. GAAP requires management to evaluate tax positions taken and recognize a tax liability, if NBME has taken uncertain tax positions that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by a government authority. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by NBME, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.NBME recognizes accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions, if any. There were no tax related interest or penalties recorded for either of the years ended December 31, 2020 or 2019.

Client Note 1Client Note 1 - Note 1 - Form 990 Part I, line 6 - VolunteersNBME utilizes an extensive network of volunteers, many of whom are medical school faculty members and practicing physicians, to accomplish its mission. These volunteers contribute the highest levels of expertise in their profession to a range of activities including test development and governance. They receive a small honorarium in recognition of their service.Note 2 - Form 990 Part VI, line 1b - The President of NBME is an ex officio member of the NBME Executive Board.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services DescriptionOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: The Post-Licensure Assessment System (PLAS) is a joint activity of NBME and the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB). PLAS comprises two programs: the Special Purpose Examination (SPEX) Program and the Assessment Center Program (ACP). SPEX is a one-day, multiple-choice examination of current knowledge requisite for the general, undifferentiated practice of medicine and is intended to be used for reasons of endorsement or reciprocity of licensure. The ACP provides comprehensive objective and personalized assessments of physicians for whom there is a question regarding clinical competence. Together, the PLAS programs have assessed thousands of physicians over the past decade for reasons that range from endorsement of licensure to license reactivation after disciplinary action.Solution Design and Delivery units include the Office of Research and the Center for Advanced Assessment. The Office of Research supports NBMEs research enterprise by coordinating NBMEs research efforts across the organization and ensuring that NBMEs research portfolio is consistent with institutional priorities. In addition to these defined programs of research and development, each program area and service unit is charged to carry on a program of research and development relevant to the work of the program or unit, for example, development of new item formats for USMLE, exploring relationships between prior measures and certifying exam performance for our clients and developing new testing methods for clients. These research and development activities result in the publication of dozens of research reports in scientific journals and presentations at scientific meetings each year.The Center for Advanced Assessment (CAA) is responsible for conducting research related to improving the quality and efficiency of NBME products, services, and procedures. It is also aimed at developing capabilities that allow NBME to expand its range of assessments both geographically and across the health professions. In addition to this work, the CAA provides non-routine technical support to other organizational divisions and subunits and conducts research to contribute to the field of measurement.In aggregate, these units deliver information vital for planning strategy related to innovative assessments to meet stakeholder needs. They support conception and market testing of product ideas and the research to investigate and sustain products and services.NBME and the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching collaborate to provide the Health and Wellness Coach Certifying Examination. The collaboration provides an opportunity to draw upon the unique capabilities of each organization to provide a high-quality assessment for health and wellness coaches. Exam content is developed by nationally recognized leaders in the field of health and wellness coaching and covers areas such as coaching structure and process, health and wellness, and ethics.
