DescCarnegie investigators are leaders in the fields of plant biology, developmental biology, earth and planetary sciences, astronomy and global ecology. Using molecular genetics and related methods, Carnegie biologists study the genes responsible for plant responses to light and the genetic controls over vaious growth and developmental processes including those that enable plants to survive disease and environmental stress. In addition, the department is a world leader in bioinformatics. It developed and now manages an online-integrated database, one of the most widely used biological databases in the world, that supplies all aspects of biological information on the most widely used modal plant, Arabidopsis. Researchers in developmental biology address fundamental questions in animal development and genetics at the cellular and molecular levels. Some researchers investigate the genetic programming behind cellular processes as cells develop, while others explore the genes that control growth and obesity, stimulate stem cells to become specialized body parts, and perform many other functions. Other researchers examine the physics and chemistry of Earth's deep interior and (Continued on Schedule O, Statement 1)Desc

DescEducation. Carnegie, a non-degree granting entity, is an advanced study organization at which highly qualified graduate scientists are offered postgraduate and post doctoral training for careers in education and research. Carnegie's postdoctoral scientific education is mostly conducted in the laboratory or in the field. The postdoctoral curriculum is heavily weighted toward training candidates to be capable researchers and teachers of research. The faculty consists of the professional staff of Carnegie, all of whom pursue their own research. Carnegie also offers certain training opportunities for predoctoral students who may pursue formal degrees at degree-granting institututions. Carnegie programs also train public elementary school teachers how to incorporate interactive science instruction into all aspects of the curriculum; helps improve the instruction of mathematics education of public school children by training individuals with mathematics or related degrees to become classroom instructors; introduces and trains high school students to career education pathways in the field of biotechnology; and makes information available concerning Carnegie's scientific research findings to students and the general public.Desc

ExplanationAs a research institution, Carnegie provides fellows with the opportunity to pursue independent research and the training to acquire the additional skills and expertise needed to become a successful scientist. Carnegie monitors the fellowship experience to achieve both objectives. Fellows pursue their research program relatively independently but have full access to Carnegie facilities and staff members and typically perform their experiments and scientific work on-site and in collaboration with other Carnegie scientists. Fellows in the biological sciences apply to Carnegie mainly to learn the research techniques and research areas of a particular Carnegie staff scientist, that is, to work in that principal investigator's (PI) lab. Labs routinely engage a number of different people, including a PI, technicians, postdoctoral scientists, and researchers. The PI monitors the work of the fellow on an ongoing basis, critiques the fellows' research, makes suggestions for avenues to explore, and provides ongoing mentoring. Fellows in the physical sciences typically collaborate with a senior staff member on research projects. This provides an ongoing vehicle for monitoring and supporting the work of the fellow. Fellows are asked to present and defend their research to other scientists both at Carnegie and at other institutions. This process helps to monitor a fellows' scientific progress and permits adjustments as necessary. Carnegie's various administrative and research policies apply to fellows. In Carnegie's structure, department directors are responsible for assuring that fellows follow these procedures and carry out the research supported through externally or internally-funded fellowships.ExplanationTxt

Form 990, Part III, Line 4aplanets. Carnegie is a world-renowned center for petrology - study of rocks. It is also a world leader in high-pressure and high-temperature physics making significant contributions to both Earth and material sciences. Carnegie scientists are part of an interdisciplinary effort to investigate how life evolved on this planet and determine its potential for existing elsewhere. With various partners, Carnegie has launched a new multi-disciplinary, international initiative dedicated to achieving a transformational understanding of Earth's deep carbon cycle, including its poorly constrained reservoirs and fluxes, unknown role of deep biology, and unexplored influences of the deep carbon cycle on critical societal concerns related to energy, environment, and climate. Carnegie astronomers, unlike most in their filed, design and build their own instruments to capture the secrets of space. They are tracing the evolution of the universe from the spark of the Big Bang through star and galaxy formation, exploring the structure of the universe, and probing the mysteries of dark matter, dark energy, and the ever-accelerating rate at which the universe is expanding. Carnegie operated telescopes in Las Campanas Chile, at which a large part of the research is conducted, and is part of a consortium that has undertaken to design, construct and operate a telescope known as the Giant Magellan Telescope that, when complete, will be among the world's largest groundbased optical/infrared facilities. Carnegie research also includes interdisciplinary teams of astronomers and astrophysicists, geophysicists and geochemists, cosmochemists and planetary scientists. These teams are discovering planets outside our solar system, determining the age and structure of the universe, and studying the causes of earthquakes and volcanoes. Using innovative approaches to research on global ecology, Carnegie scientists are picking apart the complicated interactions of Earth's land, atmosphere, and oceans to understand how global systems operate. With a wide range of powerful tools-from satellites to the instruments of molecular biology-these scientists explore issues such as the global carbon cycle, the role of land and oceanic ecosystems, and much more. These ecologists also play an active role in the public arena, from serving on international panels investigating climate change to promoting satellite imagery for the discovery of environmental hot spots.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11bThe entire Board received a copy of the proposed filing by electronic means before it was submitted to the IRS. Any individual Board member who wished to make a comment concerning the filing provided comments to the Chair of the Audit Committee and the President prior to the filing. The Audit Committee reviewed the proposed filing in two steps. First, prior to the filing, the Committee received the form for detailed review and discussed the submission at a meeting of the Audit Committee. The Committee was asked, in particular, to review key governance and policy responses to assure the information accurately describes the Board's governance and fiduciary responsibilities. Any comments from the Committee were provided to the President so that any necessary revisions could be made. Second, within six months after the filing, the Audit Committee will provide the full board with any recommendations for future changes to the Form 990 submission and/or the Institution's policies or procedures.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12cEach year the Board of Trustees and key officers receive a conflict of interest package to complete that includes the Institution's policy, an updated list of organizations through which the Institution invests, and other information. Individuals receiving the package are required to respond by completing a signed, dated form. All conflicts of interest forms are collected by the Assistant Secretary to the Board and provided to Director, Administration and Finance. The Director, Administration and Finance, consults with the Institution's outside counsel concerning any issues and required follow-up resulting from the review. Required actions are fact specific.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15The Employee Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees annually conducts a review of the compensation of Chief Financial Officer and Senior Director of Administration. The review includes comparability data prepared by Associate Director of Human Resources. The results of the review are documented in the minutes of the meeting of the Committee. Both were reviewed in 2015. The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees conducts a review of the compensation of the President and an independent compensation review was conducted by an third party consultant.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19The governing documents, audited financial statements, and employee conflict of interest policy are available on our website www.carnegiescience.edu. The trustee conflict of interest policy is available upon written request.
