| Mission Description | The Museum's mission statement is: "to discover, interpret, and disseminate - through scientific research and education - knowledge about human cultures, the natural world, and the universe." The Museum was chartered in 1869 "for the purpose of establishing and maintaining in said city a museum and library of natural history; of encouraging and developing the study of natural science; of advancing the general knowledge of kindred subjects, and to that end of furnishing popular instruction." In 2006, the museum's charter was amended to confer the degrees of doctor of philosophy (PH.D.), and master of philosophy (M. Phil.) to duly qualified graduates completing registered curricula at the graduate school of the American museum of natural history, and to award from the graduate school the honorary degrees of science (D.SC.), doctor of laws (LL.D.), doctor of Humane Letters (L.H.D.) and master of Humane Letters (L.H.M.) To those selected by the board of trustees. | MissionDescription |

| 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 access to large scientific databases of genomic and astrophysical data. The collections provide a resource for scientists around the world. The collections grow significantly each year. The collections are the property of the Museum and are not recognized as assets in the consolidated statement of financial position. They are held under the care of the curatorial and scientific staff for scientific research, educational and public exhibition purposes in furtherance of the Museum's mission. 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 restricted by donors, proceeds from the sale of those items are recorded as increases in temporarily restricted net assets. The cost of collections purchased is recorded as a decrease in net assets in the year purchased. The value of donated collection items is not recorded. |
| 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 or 2010, 2009 and 2008. |
| 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 INVESTMENT COMMITTEE AND USED TO SUPPORT OPERATING, capital AND other ACTIVITIES PURSUANT TO BUDGETARY APPROPRIATIONS BY THE BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE. |

| Explanation | The use of grant funds outside the United States 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. | Explanation |

| Part III, Question 4 | Overview The American Museum of Natural History is a highly complex organization with broad international scope and impact. It is one of the world's pre-eminent natural history museums and scientific, educational and cultural institutions. The Museum plays a central and growing role in training the next generation of scientists and scientifically literate citizens. It has evolved into a multifaceted institution that reaches across scientific research, educational, cultural areas to enhance the knowledge about and the public understanding of and the engagement with science and human cultures. Highlights 2011 The Museum stayed steady and strong during the sluggish economic recovery that persisted throughout fiscal year 2011, while achieving a number of important institutional milestones. Most notably, the New York State Board of Regents selected the Museum to launch the country's first museum-based Master's degree program for K-12 science teachers. The new Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) Earth science program will bring the Museum's resources- including its scientists and collections, its educational expertise, and its exhibitions-to bear on the critical need to improve science teaching. Competitive federal grant funding continued for both research and educational activities. It included $2.8 million in federal Race-to-the-Top program funds for the Museum's new MAT program, an important external validation of the relevance and impact of the Museum's work. The Museum has seen a steady increase in attendance over the past few years and this year welcomed the highest attendance in its history, surpassing the record-breaking attendance numbers of 2010. The Museum continues to be a tangible center of inspiration from which its resources now radiate widely, including on-line. Almost 50% were international, and the Museum remains the most popular family attraction in New York City and the third most popular family destination in the United States by the Zagat Survey U.S. Family Travel Guide. The Museum adds millions more to its attendance through an active program of touring exhibitions and collaborative relationships with institutions around the world. This year the Museum's special exhibitions, planetarium shows, Digital Universe atlas and Science Bulletins were seen in 90 venues in over 20 countries worldwide. The Museum also took advantage of the popular social-media platform Twitter to host its first Tweetup on January 4, showcasing the exhibition "Brain: The Inside Story" and encouraging participants to tweet about experiences that included behind-the-scenes tours. A second Tweetup was then offered on March 3, providing a preview of the exhibition "The World's Largest Dinosaurs," with tours of the Museum's world class paleontology collections. The Museum also continued to expand its digital presence in fiscal year 2011. The Museum launched an expanded version of its popular Dinosaurs app specifically for the iPad; its groundbreaking Explorer app - an internal GPS personal navigation system for visitors to find their way around the Museum, the opportunity to customize tour options and details about artifacts and specimens located throughout the Museum - was unveiled; and the Cosmic Discoveries app was introduced, providing visitors with a collection of over 1,000 astronomical images in celebration of the Rose Center's 10th anniversary. Scientific Research, Scholarship, and Teaching The Museum's scientific work underpins what the Museum does in exhibition and education. Its scientific staff numbers more than 200 scientists - including tenured and tenure-track curators - who conduct research in genomics, astrophysics, zoology, paleontology, earth and planetary sciences, and anthropology. The scientific staff publishes its work in major peer-reviewed journals, with approximately 300 articles published in FY11. Their work is partially funded by 11 federal agencies including the National Science Foundation, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the National Institutes of Health. |
| Part III, Question 4 (Continued) | The Microscopy and Imaging Facility (MIF) continued to provide research staff with time and training on advanced imaging technology. Research staff, students, and visiting scientists use the facility's resources. Among the MIF's major scientific projects during this fiscal year were three-dimensional imaging of extant primates and small mammals, fossils from the Vertebrate and Invertebrate Zoology collections, and comet samples returned to Earth in 2006 from the Comet Wild2 Stars mission. Collections The Museum's scientific collections total over 32 million specimens and cultural artifacts. Within the Museum's collections are many spectacular individual collections, from butterflies and spiders to dinosaurs and fossil mammals; from fishes and primates to crocodilians and birds. They include meteorites, gems and minerals and cultural artifacts. They include a repository of frozen tissue specimens and massive astrophysical data The collections are accessible for research on site, on-line, and through loans to scientists around the world, continually adding to both the Museum's and the broader scientific community's knowledge and understanding. The Museum's extensive research loan program typically has loans of hundreds of thousands of specimens to other institutions at any given time. The Museum further provides online access to its collections, with an estimated 95% of the collections, other than entomology, data-based and accessible online at this time. The Museum's extremely active program of international field expeditions is responsible for an annual growth in collections of between 50,000 and 100,000 specimens. Many expeditions and field projects in 2011 served to enrich the collections and research assets of the Museum. Major projects are underway in Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, West Antarctica, Belize, Indonesia, Mongolia, Peru, Madagascar, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Vietnam, Mexico, Republic of Congo, Thailand, India, the Artic of Canada, Russia, New Guinea, and Australia. As part of its collaborative efforts in regard to collections, the Museum's Anthropology division hosted a delegation of five Zuni representatives from New Mexico, who visited the Museum to begin a joint project that will add the Museum's substantial ethnographic collection of more than 1,700 Zuni artifacts to an innovative digital catalog by and for the Zuni people. The Museum also is advancing new kinds of collections, including the Monell Frozen Tissue Collection which has been developed in response to emerging research needs in genomics. Museum biologists and astrophysicists take advantage of the newest technologies such as CT data and other digital imaging procedures. In fiscal year 2011, the frozen tissue collections increased by 24 percent to more than 71,000 tissue samples. Preserving the Museum's collections for study by future generations with new technological capacity has never been more important, and the Museum continues to dedicate significant time to the training of conservation interns. Research Library The Museum's on-site Research Library is one of the largest natural history libraries in the Western Hemisphere. Its primary function is to serve and support the work of the Museum's scientific staff, while also serving natural history scholars from around the world, as well as members of the general public. The Library's holdings comprise a research collection, special collections (including a rare book collection), and digital collections. Its catalogues are part of an international online library catalogue database that is available at public libraries and university libraries as well as through the Museum's website. |
| Part III, Question 4 (Continued) | In FY11, the Library received a number of grants that supported its ongoing efforts to digitize, catalog, and preserve its collections. The Library is a founding member of the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) -- a consortium of 12 major natural history museums libraries, botanical libraries, and research institutions to digitize and preserve the legacy literature of biodiversity. The Library received its third award to fund the digitization of an additional 350,000 pages of published biodiversity literature. In partnership with the Museum's Conservator for Collections, the Library received support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to conduct a risk assessment of its collections. The Council on Library and Information Resources provided funding to enable the Library to catalog previously undocumented collections, and the New York State Department of Education awarded the Library its 24th conservation grant for the conservation of a collection of rare insect books. Richard Gilder Graduate School The Richard Gilder Graduate School is the first museum-based program authorized to grant the Ph.D. in the Western Hemisphere. In September 2010, the third class of students matriculated to the graduate school's Ph.D. program in comparative biology and in December 2010 the Graduate School began its fourth admissions and recruiting cycle. During the 2010-2011 academic year, most of the students enrolled in the program conducted fieldwork in locations from Mongolia to the Caribbean islands and on shipboard expeditions in the Atlantic and Pacific. The Richard Gilder Graduate School students and partner university students produced several scientific research publications in fiscal year 2011 and received a number of honors and awards, Graduate Research Fellowships and Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grants. Students also participated in public education and outreach, which included an innovative publication in "The American Biology Teacher" that grew out of student and faculty participation in one of the field courses. Rose Center for Earth and Space / Astrophysics The Frederick Phineas and Sandra Priest Rose Center for Earth and Space which first opened its doors to the public in 2000 brings the latest astrophysics research to more than 30 million visitors. The award-winning Rose Center comprises 333,500 square feet including the permanent exhibition halls, educational facilities, and the Hayden Planetarium. The Hayden Planetarium houses a powerful virtual reality simulator, which is used to develop, produce and display for the public educational space shows that are informative and authentic. In fiscal 2011 the Museum continued to show its latest Space Show, "Journey to the Stars," while its prior Space Show offerings ("Cosmic Collisions, " "Passport to the Universe," " The Search for Life: Are We Alone?," " Field Trip to the Moon," and" Sonic Vision") continued to show in 40 planetariums around the United States and internationally. The Rose Center is supported by the Museum's astrophysics department of 23 PhD scientists that provides curatorial leadership for the exhibitions, planetarium shows, and educational programs about space. Conducting research in observational, theoretical, and computational astrophysics, Museum astrophysicists study the origin and evolution of planets, stars, stellar clusters, and galaxies using ground- and space-based telescopes, supercomputers, and theoretical studies. Researchers receive funding from and collaborate with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and employ partnerships with land- and space-based telescopes to further their work. Sackler Institute for Comparative Genomics The Sackler Institute for Comparative Genomics' (SICG) is comprised of a number of science facilities--the Sackler Educational Laboratory; several microbial genomics laboratories; the Monell Frozen Tissue Repository of non-human species; and a parallel computing facility. It also includes the Museum's Comparative Genomics Research Program. The institute currently supports 40 graduate students and 12 postdoctoral fellows. The Sackler Institute's research programs are complemented by education and outreach activities and facilities that convey critical scientific concepts to diverse audiences. |
| Part III, Question 4 (Continued) | In 2011 the Museum obtained funding to add to the Sackler Institute's first next-generation sequencing platform. A Roche 454 GS Junior was installed, allowing Museum scientists and students to carry out genome-level DNA sequencing on site and significantly expanding the Museum's capacity to conduct genomics research. Curators from several scientific divisions participated in Sackler Institute research projects, while nearly 75 scientists, as well as students and support staff, apply leading-edge techniques from molecular evolution and genomics to elucidate the patterns and processes of the diversity of life on the planet, assemble a Tree of Life, and identify and ameliorate genetic threats to endangered species. Center for Biodiversity and Conservation The Center for Biodiversity and Conservation ("CBC") conducts conservation-related field projects to preserve global biological diversity. The Center conducts international training programs for scientists, organizes scientific symposia, presents public programs, and produces publications geared toward scientists, policy makers, and the general public. The CBC also continued its efforts to diminish critical threats to global biological and cultural diversity in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments. Its projects are in the Bahamas, the Solomon Islands, Mongolia, Peru, Madagascar, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Vietnam, Mexico, Republic of Congo, Thailand, India, the Arctic area of Canada and Russia, New Guinea, and Australia. In November 2010, the CBC hosted the Student Conference on Conservation Science-New York (SCCS-NY). It welcomed hundreds of graduate students, recent post-doctoral fellows, and early-career professionals from 34 countries and 27 states within the United States. The conference provided a unique opportunity for researchers at the outset of their careers to present their work before established leaders in scientific research and in science policy, and management. Education Late in fiscal year 2011, the Museum was selected by the New York State Department of Education to launch a pilot Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) program as part of a specialized initiative to help ameliorate the critical shortage of qualified science teachers in New York State, particularly in high-needs schools. The Museum's MAT program-the first such program for science teachers to be offered outside a college or university-speaks to the Museum's growing role in K-12 education and, specifically, in helping to address the national crisis in student achievement in science. Also in fiscal year 2011, Resources for Learning (RFL), an innovative online catalog of educational content for teachers and students developed by the Museum, received the Science Prize for Online Resources in Education (SPORE), the first time a natural history museum has won this coveted honor. The RFL catalog-a collection of activities, articles, evidence, and analysis for educators, families, students, and other interested learners-includes content developed specifically for the Museum's permanent halls and temporary exhibitions, as well as content from two of the Museum's flagship online programs, Science Bulletins and OLogy. The Museum's Adventures in Science series introduced a one-week Virtual Worlds camp, in which students used high-fidelity virtual world software platform, Blue Mars, to simulate animated ancient sea animals and plant life from the Cretaceous period, while learning about taxonomy, field work, extinction events, and the meaning and application of fossil evidence. The curriculum for Virtual Worlds was developed to match the global education shift toward using competition, challenges, and simulations to help young people understand and explore the skills they will need for future work while meeting rigorous educational goals in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The success of the Virtual World camp led to the development of a two-week Virtual Worlds Institute, which was held in early fiscal year 2012. |
| Part III, Question 4 (Continued) | The Museum's signature science education program, Urban Advantage, a consortium of eight science-based cultural institutions together with the New York City Department of Education, grew in fiscal year 2011 to include more than 150 schools, 370 teachers, and 37,800 students in all five boroughs-fully a third of all New York City middle schools. This innovative program model also went national in 2011, when Urban Advantage Denver launched with a three-year, $3 million grant from the National Science Foundation- - the first of a growing national network of cities undertaking middle school science education improvement by implementing the Urban Advantage program. Other significant events from fiscal year 2011 included the following: - The Museum welcomed a group of Tibetan Buddhist monks from Drepung Loseling Monastery for a week-long residency that included a series of programs and classes on Tibetan arts, science, and culture in conjunction with the major exhibition Brain: The Inside Story. - The Museum inaugurated the Margaret Mead Filmmaker Award, a juried recognition awarded to one premiere film of the Mead Festival that embodied the spirit, energy, and innovation that is the legacy of anthropologist Margaret Mead. - The Museum established its first Science Generation alumni association in 2010-2011, inviting young people who have participated in the Lang Science Program, afterschool courses, Adventures in Science camps, and science research internships such as the Science Research Mentorship Program (SRMP) and Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program to gather and share how their experiences at the Museum have supported their academic and career growth. - The Museum launched a new adult education series with three courses led by Museum scientists and developed in conjunction with the major exhibition Brain: The Inside Story. Exhibitions For 363 days each year the 45 permanent exhibition halls are open to the public on a pay-as-you-wish basis. The exhibitions provide a field guide to the history of life on Earth, the cultures of humanity, and the latest discoveries in astrophysics. In 2011 the Museum began the restoration and conservation of the historic dioramas in the Hall of North American Mammals as well as restoration of the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Hall exhibitions. The permanent exhibitions are supplemented throughout the year with a robust program of award-winning temporary exhibitions that are created, designed and built by the Museum's staff. In 2011 the Museum once again engaged a broad audience through exhibitions that drew on the latest technology and design approaches to showcase the Museum's unparalleled collections and unlock the visitors' imagination. Focusing on the biology of long-necked, long-tailed herbivores-some of which grew to be 150 feet or longer, the length of four standard city buses-"The World's Largest Dinosaurs" exhibit drew on cutting-edge paleo-biological research to examine how this diverse group of giants was able to survive for approximately 140 million years. Brain: The Inside Story combined imaginative art, high-tech images, video projections, and dynamic interactive exhibits, to offer visitors a new perspective and keen insight into their own brains. |
| Part III, Question 4 (Continued) | Examples of exhibitions on display at the Museum or travelling to other venues d are: - "World's Largest Dinosaurs"--revealed 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" --brought visitors up to date on the latest in neuroscience, highlighting the brain's surprising ability to rewire itself in response to experience, disability, or trauma, and showcased 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"-- focused on the challenges that two competing explorers-Norwegian Roald Amundsen and Captain Robert Falcon Scott of the British Royal Navy-faced as they undertook their 1,800-mile journeys from the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf to the Pole and back in 1911-1912. The exhibition also examined the legacy of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration by linking these expeditions with past and present research on this unique continent. - "Travelling the Silk Road: Ancient Pathway to the Modern World"--- brought to life the most celebrated trade route in human history through evocative sights, sounds, and artifacts. - "Frogs: A Chorus of Colors"--- celebrates the remarkable diversity that exists among the frog species inhabiting the globe.g species inhabiting the globe. - "The Butterfly Conservatory: Butterflies Alive in Winter"---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 including major changes in warfare, trade, transportation, agriculture, sports, and many other facets of human life. - "Climate Change: The Threat to Life and our Energy Future"--- describes the scientific evidence for climate change and its possible impact as well as various options for using alternative sources of energy. - "Water: H2O=Life"--- illuminates the challenges of humanity's sustainable management and use of the life-giving, but finite, resource-water. - "Mythic Creatures: Dragons, Unicorns & Mermaids"--- traces the cultural and natural history roots of some of the world's most enduring mythological creatures. - "GOLD"---explores the geological and cultural history of this enduring icon of wealth, beauty and power. - "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, Origin of Species. - "Lizards and Snakes: Alive!"---showcases live lizards and snakes while exploring concepts of conservation, evolution and extinction as they relate to these two fascinating species. - "Dinosaurs!

| Part III, Question 4 (Continued) | Public Programs and Symposia The Museum's public programs provide the community with access to scientists from the Museum and from research institutes and universities from around the US and abroad who present their current work, and discuss new discoveries and emerging issues in their fields. The Museum also convenes conferences on science and education, providing a forum for scientists, educators and public policy leaders to present ideas, proposals and work in progress on major issues. One program of particular note in 2011 brought renowned paleoanthropologists Donald Johanson and Richard Leakey to the Museum for the historic discussion 'Human Evolution and Why It Matters'. Digital Outreach In 2011 the Museum greatly expanded its innovative mobile applications to connect the public to its extensive resources in science, education, and exhibition. The Museum's mobile applications significantly expand the reach of its extensive scientific resources, collections, educational materials and exhibitions to a growing global and digital audience. In 2011 the Museum's apps were downloaded nearly 900,000 times. The Museum's app, "Dinosaurs: American Museum of Natural History Collections," which was released in 2010 for iPhone and iPod touch, was followed up in 2011 with a version exclusively for the iPad. The new version included nearly 1,000 images from the Museum's archive, formatted to fit the iPad's larger screen. The Museum also introduced the next generation of indoor wayfinding with the launch of AMNH Explorer, a free mobile app designed as an enhanced navigation tool for indoor use. The app was the first to offer real-time location awareness indoors and used the Museum's new public wireless network to pinpoint a user's location and offer turn-by-turn directions through more than 500,000 square feet of public space encompassing permanent exhibition halls, theaters, restrooms, restaurants, and retail shops. In addition to serving as a navigation tool, AMNH Explorer provides visitors with information about more than 140 specimens and artifacts on display at the Museum. The app also features customized tours, including tours developed specifically for special exhibitions, as well as a fossil treasure hunt and social media links that allow visitors to post on Facebook and Twitter. As part of the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Rose Center for Earth and Space, the Museum released "Cosmic Discoveries," a new app for iPhone and iPod touch. It is the first to collect nearly 1,000 astronomical images and included images culled from the Museum's archives and Space Bulletins, as well as from dozens of space agencies and observatories around the world and information about famous discoveries, the history of human study of space, and current advances in astrophysics. In addition a scientific visualization entitled "The Known Universe" was produced by the Museum and subsequently received 10,000,000 views on the internet. The Museum's audience increasingly can experience the Museum's exhibitions and Space Shows in their homes and communities. By downloading the Museum's richly detailed digital apps, they can dive more deeply into exhibits or scientific research on the Museum's website, and they can keep in touch with the Museum on the Museum's YouTube channel or through social media outlets. |
