Under this guidance, the Society may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods.Management evaluated the Society tax positions and concluded that the Society had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. Currently, the tax years open and subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service are 2015, 2016, and 2017 tax years. true Florida International Uni 11200 SW 8th St - MARC 430 Miami FL 33199 650177616 10000 0 Fellow Training University of Pennylvania 3451 Walnut St Franklin 5F Philadelphia PA 19104 231352685 10000 0 Fellow Training Weill College of Cornell 575 Lexington Ave 9F New York NY 10022 136094042 10000 0 Fellow Training 0 3 Travel Grants 14 17500 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used grant funds are awarded based on a formal application process with eligibility guidelines. the grant award specifies limitations of use. grantees receiving more than $40,000 are required to submit a six month and final financial report, detailing expenditures. these reports are reviewed for appropriateness. any funds not spent in accordance with grant guidelines are returned to the grantor X X X false false false false false false false true false false Jaime Abreu VP 160660 11000 6426 6647 184733 Michele Blair Past CEO 177952 24742 4004 3614 210312 Part I, Line 7: Non-Fixed payments not listed above The salaried officers of the Organization can earn an annual performance bonus based on predetermined metrics established by the board of directors.
