Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are UsedTHE EDWARD J. STEMMLER, MD MEDICAL EDUCATION RESEARCH FUNDOF THE NATIONAL BOARD OF MEDICAL EXAMINERS (NBME)Purpose The purpose of the Stemmler Fund is to provide support for research or development of innovative evaluation methodology or techniques, with the potential to advance assessment in medical education or practice at eligible medical schools. 2010-2011 Goal: The goal of the Stemmler Fund's 2010-2011 Call for Letters of Intent (CFLOI) is to provide support, through a program of annual grants, for research or development of innovative assessment approaches which will enhance the evaluation of those preparing to, or continuing to, practice medicine. Expected outcomes include advances in the theory, knowledge, or practice of assessment at any point along the continuum of medical education, from undergraduate and graduate education and training, through practice. Pilot and more comprehensive projects are both of interest. Collaborative investigations within or among institutions are not only eligible but encouraged, particularly as they strengthen the likelihood of the project's contribution and success. Eligibility: The eligible applicants for Stemmler Fund grant awards are the medical schools accredited by the LCME or the AOA. Additional eligibility requirements include: - The number of Letters of Intent submitted by any eligible school is not limited. However, an individual may not be principal investigator on more than one Letter of Intent. The designated principal investigator must represent the primary applicant institution and must be responsible for project oversight and reporting. (The applicant institution's rules apply regarding eligibility of their faculty, staff, or associates to serve as investigators.) - A maximum of two applications representing a revised Letter of Intent previously submitted to the Fund program will be accepted by the NBME. That is, applications addressing the same substantive study topic by the same investigators may be submitted for Fund consideration no more than a total of three times. - The primary investigators of prior Fund grants are eligible to reapply and compete (with new applicants) for one additional award through the Stemmler Fund Call for Letters of Intent for the same line of study. Current award recipients are eligible to compete again only if any current NBME support is expected to terminate satisfactorily by the beginning of the 2010-2011 project period (usually July 1, 2011). Selection Process: 1. All submitted Letters of Intent will be reviewed by NBME staff to ensure eligibility and completeness. 2. The Stemmler Fund Steering Committee will then evaluate Letters of Intent on the extent to which the proposed research is innovative or will advance assessment in medical education or practice, and addresses an important problem or issue in medical education or practice.3. The Stemmler Fund Steering Committee will then meet to select a subset of Letters of Intent (e.g., 10-15) and invite the principal investigators to submit full proposals. 4. All Invited Proposals will be reviewed by NBME staff to ensure completeness. 5. Peer reviewers with expertise in measurement, research design and methodology will then evaluate Invited Proposals on the relevance and significance of the proposal to the purpose and goals of the Stemmler Fund, the adequacy of the research design or methodology, and the qualifications of the principal investigator and project staff.6. The Stemmler Fund Steering Committee will then review all proposals and peer reviews, giving careful consideration to the adequacy of the budget, timetable, and other key project resources in each proposal, and select awards. The NBME will provide feedback detailing the comments provided by reviewers of applications not selected for funding. Grant Fund Use Monitoring:Grant recipients are required to submit an interim and final report which includes a Final Project Narrative and a Final Project Fiscal Report.

Form 990, Part VI, Line 15bForm 990, Part VI, Line 15b: Compensation Review and Approval Process for Officers and Key EmployeesPeriodically, typically every three years, a Compensation Survey of Peer Organizations is conducted by an outside independent compensation consulting firm. The recommendations resulting from the survey are reviewed by NBME Human Resources and the Compensation Subcommittee of the NBME Executive Board. Officer and Key Employee compensation is reviewed and confirmed annually by the Compensation Subcommittee. In setting CEO compensation, the Compensation Subcommittee uses the Compensation Survey of Peer Organizations and the results of the detailed annual CEO Evaluation of performance report from the CEO Evaluation Subcommittee of the Executive Board. The CEO compensation is set and approved by the Compensation Subcommittee of the Executive Board which then reports to the Executive Board that it has reviewed the relevant information and made a decision.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4dForm 990, Part III, Line 4d : Other Program Services DescriptionOTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: The Post-Licensure Assessment System (PLAS) is a joint activity of the NBME and the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB). PLAS comprises two programs: the Special Purpose Examination (SPEX) Program and the Assessment Center Program (ACP). SPEX is a one-day, multiple-choice examination of current knowledge requisite for the general, undifferentiated practice of medicine and is intended to be used for reasons of endorsement or reciprocity of licensure. The ACP provides comprehensive objective and personalized assessments of physicians for whom there is a question regarding clinical competence. Together, the PLAS programs have assessed thousands of physicians over the past decade for reasons that range from endorsement of licensure to license reactivation after disciplinary action.NBME's International Programs unit provides students, graduate physicians, medical schools, and regulatory agencies with valid and reliable information regarding individual knowledge and overall curriculum effectiveness. The International Foundations of Medicine (iFoM) program comprises a portfolio of consultative, faculty and institutional development, and examination programs. The cornerstone of the program is the iFoM Clinical Science Examination (CSE). More than 7,000 students or graduates of 60 medical schools in 11 countries on 5 continents have taken the examination since 2007. The NBME international portfolio also includes on-site evaluation of overall assessment capability for medical schools, customized assessment services, discipline-specific, end-of-course examinations, progress testing, residency selection examinations, and national licensing examinations. The International Programs unit is also involved in various research projects related to the validity and reliability of various assessment tools.The Assessment of Professional Behaviors (APB) was offered as an operational program to residency and fellowship programs in May 2010.
