Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

“When the form is completed, and prior to submission to the irs, the form 990 is reviewed by the audit committee, subcommittee of the board of trustees which includes non-trustees and trustees. Upon approval by this subcommittee, the form 990 is finalized and distributed to the full board for information and comment and then filed electronically with the irs.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“The seti institute has a formal conflict of interest questionnaire that is designed to identify possible conflicts of interest among our trustees. This questionnaire is distributed annually and trustees are required to complete it and return it to the board secretary. The secretary, in conjunction with the trusteeship committee chairperson, reviews each questionnaire, conducts interviews when needed, and communicates any identified conflicts to the full board.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“The seti institute uses a professionally prepared compensation study to determine appropriate compensation levels for all employees. When changes to any officer's compensation amount is proposed, the board, in an executive session, reviews the proposed change and approves it by formal board resolution prior to it being granted. The process was last undertaken in 2015.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“The seti institute distributes its financial information to the public via dun and bradstreet and other outside websites, such as guidestar. We also make our form 990 and financial statements available upon request. Governing documents may also be made available upon request.”

IRS990/Desc0THE CARL SAGAN CENTER FOR RESEARCH (CSC) PURSUES RESEARCH IN THE INTERDISCIPLINARY FIELD OF ASTROBIOLOGY, WITH THE GOAL OF UNDERSTANDING THE ORIGIN, NATURE AND DISTRIBUTION OF LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE. CSC FOCUSES ON DISCIPLINES RANGING FROM OBSERVING AND MODELING THE PRECURSORS OF LIFE IN OUTER SPACE TO STUDIES OF EARTH AND ITS BIOLOGICAL HISTORY. SETI INSTITUTE SCIENTISTS PARTICIPATE AS INVESTIGATORS IN NASA SPACE FLIGHT MISSIONS, AS OBSERVERS ON SOME OF THE WORLD'S FINEST TELESCOPES, AND AS EXPLORERS UNDERTAKING FIELD EXPEDITIONS IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS, INCLUDING THE ARCTIC, ANTARCTIC, VOLCANIC PEAKS MOUNTAINS AND OCEAN DEPTHS. SETI INSTITUTE PARTNERS INCLUDE NASA, THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION, MAJOR UNIVERSITIES AND TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES. IN ADDITION TO PUBLISHING IN PEER REVIEWED JOURNALS, CSC RESEARCHERS ALSO MAKE FREQUENT PRESENTATIONS AND ARE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN MENTORING GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0THE CENTERS FOR EDUCATION AND OUTREACH AT SETI INSTITUTE CONDUCT FORMAL AND INFORMAL EDUCATION AND PUBLIC OUTREACH. PROGRAMMING PROMOTES STEM EDUCATION THAT REACHES CHILDREN, YOUNG ADULTS AND EDUCATORS THROUGH THE AIRBORNE ASTRONOMY AMBASSADORS, FLYING TEACHERS ON NASA'S SOFIA OBSERVATORY; REACHING FOR THE STARS-NASA SCIENCE FOR GIRL SCOUTS, WHICH IS DEVELOPING A NEW STEM MERIT BADGE PROGRAM; RESEARCH EXPERIENCE FOR UNDERGRADUATES, AN NSF-FUNDED INTERNSHIP; AND NASA FRONTIER DEVELOPMENT LAB, A SUMMER PHD-LEVEL RESEARCH ACCELERATOR FOR MACHINE LEARNING AND PLANETARY SCIENCE. PROGRAMMING FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC INCLUDES THE SETI INSTITUTE WEBSITE; SETI TALKS, A PUBLIC SPEAKING SERIES FEATURING SETI INSTITUTE SCIENTISTS AND GUEST LECTURERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD; BIG PICTURE SCIENCE, A WEEKLY SCIENCE RADIO SHOW AND PODCAST; SOCIAL MEDIA; AND OTHER PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS, WORKSHOPS, CLASSES AND EDUCATIONAL EVENTS.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0THE ALLEN TELESCOPE ARRAY (ATA) IS AN INSTRUMENT DESIGNED TO DETECT SIGNALS FROM TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED CIVILIZATIONS ELSEWHERE IN THE UNIVERSE, AS WELL AS CONDUCTING OTHER RADIO ASTRONOMY RESEARCH. ONE SUCH EFFORT INCLUDES AN ONGOING SURVEY OF 20,000 RED DWARF STARS, WHICH HAS INCLUDED TRAPPIST-1, A STAR COMPRISED OF SEVEN POTENTIALLY HABITABLE EXOPLANETS. A DEVICE THAT WOULD ALLOW AN ALL-SKY, CONTINUOUS-COVERAGE SEARCH FOR LASER PULSES (KNOWN AS OPTICAL SETI) IS BEING DEVELOPED THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THE BREADTH OF EXPERIMENTS LOOKING FOR PROOF OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE. FINALLY, NEW DEVICES TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ADVANCES IN DIGITAL COMPUTING AND DATA ANALYTICS HAVE BEEN CONCEPTUALIZED TO SPEED UP SEARCHES, AND AN ALLIANCE WITH IBM HAS PROMOTED THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MACHINE LEARNING SYSTEM THAT WILL ALLOW SETI RESEARCHERS TO EXPLORE A WIDER RANGE OF POTENTIAL SIGNAL TYPES THAN IS CURRENTLY THE CASE.
