Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part III, Line 2

“While we have not changed our program services, we are now reporting our income from government grants as contributions instead of program service revenue because the research funded by these grants provides a direct benefit to the public, and does not provided an immediate benefit to the government agents funding the research.”
