Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:Part X:On September 1, 2009, the Foundation adopted the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, as amended by FASB in September 2009. The Foundation evaluates its uncertain tax positions using the provisions of ASC 450, Contingencies. Accordingly, a loss contingency is recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The amount recognized is subject to estimate and management judgment with respect to the likely outcome of each uncertain tax provision. The amount that is ultimately sustained for an individual uncertain tax provision or for all uncertain tax positions in the aggregate could differ from the amount recognized. Interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions are recognized as components of federal income tax expense. As noted above, the Foundation is a tax-exempt non-profit organization; therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in the financial statements. The Foundation believes that its tax position regarding its status as a tax-exempt organization will remain significantly unchanged within the next twelve months. While the Foundation is not aware of any tax examinations being conducted, tax years 2009 - 2011 remain subject to examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service.

Return ReferenceReturnReferenceExplanationExplanation
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7aThere are three members of the Board consisting of the President and CEO of the Foundation and the Executive Associate Director of the TAMUS Office of Sponsored Research Services. The Chief Research Officer at TAMUS serves as Chair of the Board for the Foundation.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11Copies of the Form 990 are provided to the Board. The Board reviews the form and discusses it with the CPAs responsible for preparing the return.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cNew trustees, officers, and key personnel must complete and sign the conflict of interest disclosure form. Any change in circumstances that alters the information on a form that was previously submitted must be reported in a timely fashion. At a minimum, each trustee, officer, or key person must submit a new or updated form (with signature) each year. All completed and signed forms are retained by the Corporate Secretary. The Corporate Secretary monitors COI form submissions to verify that all required persons have a current COI form on file. All board and board committee meeting agenda items are reviewed against known conflicts of interest disclosed by board or committee members. Where a conflict of interest has been identified, such member must recuse himself or herself from discussions or voting on the matter, or may be asked to leave the room while the matter is being discussed or voted. All negotiators, buyers, proposal/project administrators are informed of organizations that may be involved in a conflict of interest and must get management approval for any proposed transaction with such organizations.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The CEO, as well as all officers, receives zero compensation from the Foundation as he is employed by the Texas A&M University System.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The financials and governing documents can be reviewed on the Foundation's website. The conflict of interest policy is available upon request.
Form 990, Part XII, line 2c:The Foundation is currently governed by a three-person Board following its transition to The Texas A&M University System Office of Sponsored Research Services. Given the reduction in the Board, the Board itself (rather than an Audit Committee which existed under the prior structure) now reviews the Form 990, discusses it with the CPAs who prepare it, and initiates action to accept it prior to its submission.
