Part III, Line 1A, Part III Line 4	The Museum has extensive collections of specimens and artifacts that constitute a record of life on Earth. These valuable, and sometimes irreplaceable, collections have been acquired through field expeditions, contributions and purchases since the Museum's inception and represent one of the largest and most important natural history collections in the world. New collection areas include the Museum's frozen tissue collection of DNA and tissue samples as well as large scientific databases of genomic and astrophysical data. The collections provide a resource for scientists around the world, and grow significantly each year. In conformity with accounting policies generally followed by museums, the value of the Museum's collections is not reflected in the consolidated statement of financial position. The Museum's collections policy requires that the proceeds from the sale of collection items be used for acquisitions to the collections. If the assets used to purchase the collection items are from restricted funds, proceeds from the sale of those items are recorded as increases in temporarily restricted net assets in that fund until an acquisition is made.
Part V, Line 4	The Museum's endowment funds include both donor-restricted and board of trustees' designated funds. These funds are invested under the oversight of the board's investment committee and are used to support operating, capital and other activities pursuant to appropriation recommended by the board's budget and finance committee and approved by the board of trustees.
PART X, FIN 48 (ASC 740)	U.S. GAAP requires that a tax position be recognized or derecognized based on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Museum does not believe its consolidated financial statements include any uncertain tax positions for the open tax years of 2015, 2014, 2013, and 2012 that would have a materially adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Explanation	THE USE OF GRANT FUNDS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN RESEARCH COLLABORATION IS MONITORED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE AMNH SUB-AWARD ADMINISTRATION AND MONITORING POLICY, THE AMNH GRANTS MANUAL AND FEDERAL OMB A-133 REQUIREMENTS. THE MUSEUM PERFORMS AN ASSESSMENT OF THE GRANTEE'S ABILITY TO PERFORM THE WORK REQUIRED PRIOR TO GRANTING AN AWARD. POST-AWARD RISK BASED MONITORING IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH PERIODIC REPORTING FROM GRANTEES REGARDING THE USE OF GRANT FUNDS, FIELD INVESTIGATIONS AND SITE VISITS CONDUCTED BY AMNH STAFF, AND REGULAR CONTACT WITH THE GRANTEE. BECAUSE FOREIGN GRANTEES ARE NOT SUBJECT TO FEDERAL OMB A-133 AUDIT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB A-133 AMNH UTILIZES ADDITIONAL METHODS OF MONITORING IN THE FORM OF MORE FREQUENT AND EXTENSIVE REPORTING AND REVIEW BY AMNH.

Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDesc	ExplanationExplanationTxt
Part I, Question 1	OVERVIEW The American Museum of Natural History ("AMNH" or the "Museum") is one of the largest natural history museums in the world. It is a diverse scientific, educational and cultural organization that includes a research enterprise of over 200 full time scientists; the Richard Gilder Graduate School, which confers the Ph.D. in Comparative Biology and the Master of Arts in Teaching with a concentration in Earth science; collections of over 33 million specimens and artifacts that constitute an invaluable record of life on Earth; one of the largest natural history libraries in the world, 45 permanent exhibition halls, special exhibition galleries in which it displays award-winning exhibitions, as well as the Rose Center for Earth and Space which houses the Hayden Planetarium, in which it displays planetarium shows, and distributes its science content, special exhibitions and planetarium shows to venues in over 20 countries. The Museum was founded as a nonprofit corporation in 1869 by a special act of the Legislature of the State of New York and is chartered as an educational institution with its scientific research, educational programs and exhibitions under the auspices of the Board of Regents of the State of New York. The AMNH mission, which reflects a close integration of science and education, is "to discover, interpret, and disseminate-through scientific research and education-knowledge about human cultures, the natural world, and the universe." The Museum is located on 18 acres in Theodore Roosevelt Park adjacent to Central Park in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, the largest city in the United States with a growing and diverse population of 8.5 million and the highest tourism of any city in the United States with approximately 50 million foreign and domestic tourists a year. The premises of the Museum that are open to the public include 45 permanent exhibition halls, theaters for symposia and public programs, the library and the Rose Center for Earth and Space (which houses the Hayden Planetarium). Other parts of the premises house research laboratories, collections, education classrooms, and the Richard Gilder Graduate School. The Museum is open to the public 363 days a year and admission to the permanent halls and the Rose Center for Earth and Space is on a "suggested" basis. Last year the Museum's overall visitation was approximately 5 million. AMNH is publicly supported by operating and capital funds from the City of New York and by grants from the City, State, and Federal governments. Additional support is comprised of individual donations, grants from foundations and corporations, as well as admissions revenue, endowment support, and ancillary activities. RESEARCH AMNH scientific research is carried out with a full-time scientific staff of more than 200 who work in astrophysics, earth sciences, paleontology, biological sciences and anthropology. AMNH scientists conduct more than 100 expeditions each year around the world and publish their research in peer-reviewed journals at the rate of about 250 publications in FY2015. Research facilities utilized by AMNH include the Museum's collections, a substantial natural history library and state-of-the-art laboratories as well as other research facilities off site which are available through university consortiums in which AMNH participates. AMNH also owns over 100 acres in the Chiricahua Mountains in Southeastern Arizona with research laboratories and temporary housing for researchers, as well as the 17-acre Great Gull Island, a conservation area located at the eastern end of Long Island Sound in New York State. The work of scientists at the Museum is partially funded by federal agencies including the National Science Foundation, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the National Institutes of Health. AMNH's cross-disciplinary research centers include the Sackler Institute for Comparative Genomics, which advances basic research in molecular biology. The Sackler Institute for Comparative Genomics (the "Sackler Institute") comprises a number of science facilities including several microbial genomics laboratories; the Monell Collection for Molecular and Microbial Research (a frozen tissue repository of DNA and tissue specimens); and a parallel computing facility. It also includes the Museum's comparative genomics research program. The Sackler Institute's research programs are complemented by educational programs and facilities, including the Sackler Education Laboratory, that convey the critical scientific concepts to diverse audiences. The Sackler Institute remained at the forefront of genomic, molecular, and microbial research in FY2015, supporting approximately 40 graduate students and more than 12 postdoctoral fellows. Another research facility is the Center for Biodiversity and Conservation, which surveys and studies biological diversity, provides educational programs and strives to mitigate threats to the Earth's ecosystems. The Center's projects in the Bahamas, the Solomon Islands, British Columbia, Argentina, and Vietnam, integrate multidisciplinary research and the Museum's collections and technology for training and collaborative problem solving. The Center is working with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (ICUN) to develop tools to support the professionalization of the global protected area workforce and with the International Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) to incorporate indigenous and local knowledge into biodiversity assessments.
Part I, Question 1	COLLECTIONS and LIBRARY The Museum's collections number over 33 million specimens and artifacts and are among the largest and most comprehensive in the world. The collections constitute an invaluable record of life on Earth and are maintained to facilitate the study and deep understanding of 4.5 billion years of change in Earth's geology, climate, and life forms. The collections typically increase by between fifty and one hundred thousand specimens and artifacts each year. New collections and facilities include the Museum's frozen tissue collection of DNA and tissue samples that serve as a repository for research at AMNH and other institutions, often including specimens of endangered species such as those deposited by researchers under permit from the National Park Service. Other new forms of collections include large scientific digital databases of genomic and astrophysical data. The collections and research assets are enriched by continued exploration of areas such as Mongolia, Kenya, British Columbia, Solomon Islands, Argentina, South Africa, Guatemala, Cuba, Congo, Costa Rica, Switzerland, China, Belize, Bahamas, Antarctica, Vanuatu, Thailand, New Guinea, Romania, and many others. AMNH provides research material for other institutions, typically with loans of hundreds of thousands of specimens outstanding at any given time. Its collections are also made available for study on site to research scientists and students annually, to more than 1,000 researchers in FY2015. The Library of the American Museum of Natural History was established in 1869 with the founding of the Museum. Since that time, the Library has grown into one of the largest natural history libraries in the world, with a collection that is rich in retrospective materials, some going back to the 15th century. The Library's holdings are comprised of a research collection with topics that span the full range of the natural sciences (except botany); special collections (which consist of archival material relating to the history of the Museum, its scientists and staff, scientific expeditions and research, Museum exhibitions, education and general administration); and digital collections. It also includes an astronomy collection, which consists of over 8,000 volumes, 55 journal titles, over 10,000 photographs, and archives dating back to 1934, one year before the opening of the original Hayden Planetarium. The Library's primary function is to serve and support the work of the Museum's scientific staff; however it also serves local students, faculty, researchers, and the general public, as well as scholars nationally and internationally. EDUCATION The Richard Gilder Graduate School (the "Graduate School") is accredited by the New York State Board of Regents and confers the degrees of Doctor of Philosophy ("Ph.D.") and Master of Philosophy ("M. Phil"), the first and only museum in the United States to do so. The Graduate School's students publish papers during or based on work from their time at the Graduate School. Of special note, 64% of the students in the Ph.D. Comparative Biology program have won awards or recognition in the prestigious NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) through June 2015, with twelve additional honorable mentions. The Graduate School's students also have garnered substantial support for thesis research, with two students being awarded highly competitive NSF Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grants (DDIG) in FY2015. Since the founding of the school, fully 70% of the Graduate School's students have received DDIG awards. Five years ago the New York State Board of Regents selected AMNH to pilot a Master of Arts in Teaching program for K-12 science teachers with conferral of the degree by the Board of Regents, the first freestanding master's degree program offered by a museum to prepare science teachers. The Regents' pilot program will end in August 2016, and the Regents' have approved an amendment of the AMNH charter authorizing AMNH itself to confer the degree of Master of Arts in Teaching and subsequently accredited the program. It now resides in the Graduate School along with the Ph.D. program. To further advance training of the next generation of scientists, the Graduate School also conducts a doctoral training program in collaboration with four universities: Cornell, Columbia, New York University, and the City University of New York, and maintains an active post-doctoral program. The Graduate School also offers an undergraduate training program, which provides a select group of undergraduate students with intensive research experience in such subjects as evolutionary biology, earth and planetary sciences, and astrophysics. For K-12 teachers, the Museum has extensive professional development programs that annually train over 4,000 K-12 science teachers, both online and on site. Many of these programs offer teachers are graduate credit bearing, furthering pursuit of advanced degrees in science education through the City University of New York and other universities. The Museum offers teachers three massive open online courses (known as "MOOCs"), Genetics & Society, The Dynamic Earth, and Evolution, co-authored and co-taught by PhD-level Museum scientists and educators. Total enrollment to date in the US and internationally is over 100,000 registered students. Among the Museum's signature education programs for middle school students is the Urban Advantage initiative, which is now in its 11th year. Urban Advantage is a middle school science enrichment program developed by the Museum with the NYC Department of Education and operated by the Museum and seven other science institutions of New York City. The program has grown to reach over 222 schools, 643 teachers and over 62,000 students throughout all five boroughs of New York City in FY2015. The program is now being replicated or piloted in other urban areas in the United States. In addition, organized school and camp groups with over 500,000 students and teachers visit the Museum's permanent halls and special exhibitions each year, and many participate in the Museum's after-school programs. Among programs for high school students, the Museum leads a consortium of local institutions to expand the Museum's innovative and successful Science Research Mentoring Program (SRMP), which continued in FY2015. The SRMP program was pioneered by the Museum with support from the National Science Foundation and NASA as an out-of-school approach to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) preparation for high-potential, underserved high school students, to offer opportunities for participation in authentic research alongside a working scientist. SRMP students' research has focused on various fields of study, from using computer models to analyze newborn stars and forming planets to classifying amphibians and reptiles collected in Vietnam. The program's graduates have been accepted into undergraduate programs at such institutions as Barnard College, Brown University, City University of New York, and Columbia University, among others. In FY2015, with support from the Helen Gurley Brown Trust, the Museum launched Bridge Up: STEM, a new youth learning program for high school aged girls in computational science. Focused on supporting young women and youth from low-resources and low-income communities the program will serve almost 40 high school girls annually in an intensive program that teaches programming skills aligned to scientific research. A middle school initiative will be added next year to support both boys and girls from under-resourced schools. The Museum also produces and distributes curricula, lesson plans, and resource materials for classroom use, as well as for use in libraries and community organizations, to support science teaching and learning in New York City. These materials are widely available online to communities throughout the State of New York, the U.S., and the world, through the Museum's continued investment in digital media. The Museum further extends the reach of its educational programs through after-hours public programs, including the monthly SciCaf series, which features popular presentations by Museum curators, and the annual Isaac Asimov Debate led by Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson, the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium. The Museum also convenes international conferences and convenings on scientific, environmental, cultural, and educational topics, including the Margaret Mead Film Festival, the longest running showcase for international documentary films in anthropology.
Part I, Question 1	EXHIBITIONS The Museum distributes its award-winning exhibitions, science video bulletin displays, and planetarium shows to museums, science centers, and planetaria in numerous venues in over 20 countries. Newly introduced in FY2015, the exhibition Life at the Limits: Stories of Amazing Species explored some of the amazing adaptations organisms have evolved to face the challenges of living on earth; examined the spectacular anatomical features and behaviors some specifies use to attract mates, to adapt to depth or altitude, to get around, to sense their environments and to obtain food; and explored strategies for surviving harsh physical surroundings and techniques for escaping predators and even ways to live very long lives. Countdown to Zero: Defeating Disease focused on the efforts to achieve education of guinea worm disease and other global afflictions. Created in collaboration with the Carter Center, based in Atlanta, Georgia, the exhibition used photographs, artifacts and video to tell the story of the steep reduction during the past 30 years of Guinea worm disease, a parasitic infection caused by a roundworm found in stagnant drinking water. The exhibition also explored the ongoing efforts to eliminate illnesses including river blindness, lymphatic filariasis, polio and malaria. Nature's Fury: The Science of Natural Disasters on loan from The Field Museum, Chicago, Illinois and enhanced by the Museum's exhibition department, looked at earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes and tornadoes; on how nature's forces shaped our dynamic planet and affected people around the world, uncovered the causes of these natural disasters, and explored the risks associated with each and examines how people cope and adapt in their aftermath. The exhibition showcased selected objects from AMNH collections and an AMNH produced interactive map of New York City that depicted the power of Hurricane Sandy and its aftermath. Spiders Alive! features live spiders. It also included larger-than-life models, videos, interactive exhibits and fossils, as well as Museum staff handling live arachnids for visitors to see up close. In addition to those listed above, exhibitions on display at the Museum, travelling to other venues, or available for travel included the following: -Pterosaurs: Flight in the Age of Dinosaurs explores how giants such as Tropeognathus Mesembrinus, with a wingspan of 25 feet, moved on land and flew through the air, while -The Power of Poison explored poison's paradoxical roles in nature, human health and history. -Our Global Kitchen: Food, Nature, Culture, which explores the complex and intricate food system that brings what we eat from farm to fork and illuminates the myriad ways in which food is produced and consumed throughout the world. -Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration transports visitors to the moon, asteroids, Mars, and beyond through fully immersive environments, models, and engaging interactives. It allows visitors to find out what experts think the future will hold for us beyond planet Earth. -Creatures of Light: Nature's Bioluminescence takes visitors to such fascinating places as the far depths of the ocean, explains why and how certain animals create "living light", and helps us all better understand the vast and glorious ecosystem of which we are just a part. -World's Largest Dinosaurs reveals how a uniquely super-sized group of dinosaurs - the long-necked and long-tailed sauropods - lived, breathed, ate, moved, and survived by illuminating how size and scale related to basic biological functions. -Brain: The Inside Story provides visitors with the latest information in neuroscience, highlighting the brain's surprising ability to rewire itself in response to experience, disability, or trauma. It also showcases new technologies that researchers use to study the brain and treat conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. -Race to the End of the Earth focuses on the unique challenges that confronted two competing explorers - Norwegian Roald Amundsen and Captain Robert Falcon Scot of the British Royal Navy - as they undertook their 1,800-mile journeys from the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf to the South Pole and back in 1911-1912. The exhibition also examines the legacy of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration by linking these expeditions with the past and present research on this unique continent. -Traveling the Silk Road: Ancient Pathway to the Modern World brings to life the most celebrated trade route in human history through evocative sights, sounds, and artifacts. Visitors embark on an unparalleled journey exploring commerce, communication, and cultural exchange in cities and empires of central and west Asia from 600 to 1200. -The Butterfly Conservatory: Butterflies Alive in Winter is a live animal exhibit that provides an up-close view of 3 of the 5 families of butterflies, all of which are wonderfully diverse in size, shape, and color. -The Horse explains how horses have over time influenced civilization and contributed to major changes in warfare, trade, transportation, agriculture, sports, and many other facets of human life. -Climate Change: The Threat to Life and New Energy Future describes the scientific evidence for climate change and its possible impact and various options for using alternative sources of energy. -Water: H20=Life illuminates the challenges of humanity's sustainable management and use of a life-giving, but finite, resource: water. -Mythic Creatures: Dragons, Unicorns & Mermaids traces the cultural and natural history roots of the world's most captivating mythological creatures. -Darwin presents an extensive and in-depth array of material related to Charles Darwin's life and contributions to science, including a copy of his seminal work, The Origin of Species. -Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries explores how the latest technology and discoveries made during the last decade are shedding new light on dinosaur traits and behavior. -Dinosaur Discoveries: Ancient Fossils, New Ideas is an adapted, small-scale (1,500 sq. ft.) version of the Museum's full-scale exhibition Dinosaurs, Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries, and suitable for travel to venues with smaller exhibition galleries and budgets. -Extreme Mammals: The Biggest, Smallest, and Most Amazing Mammals of All Time explores the surprising and extraordinary world of extinct and living mammals, ranging from huge to tiny, from speedy to sloth-like, and displays animals with oversized claws, fangs, snouts, and horns.
