Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“An electronic copy of the form 990 is sent to all board members (ssi's governing body) before it is filed. Additionally, all members are asked to review and approve, via email, the form 990 before it is filed.”

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

“All directors/officers/eligible employees are required to review and resign the conflict of interest policy annually. Any conflicts of interest or suspected violations of the policy are investigated and dealt with accordingly by the board.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15B

“Ssi written employee evaluations are done annually by the non-salaried executive committee (president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer)of the board of directors. Each employee completes a written self-evaluation; the executive committee also writes an evaluation of the employee and then meets with each employee to discuss his/her performance over the year. The committee then deliberates and recommends each employee's merit and cost of living increases to the board. The board approves (or changes) the increases, with the decision based on employee performance, ssi financial health, and a comparison to pay for similar positions at other nonprofits in the bay area.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“All governing documents, the conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available to the public on the ssi website and/or in our oakland office during regular business hours.”

SSI ALSO LAUNCHED STUDIES OF ZIKA'S INCIDENCE AND HOUSEHOLD TRANSMISSION PATTERNS, A LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF ZIKA IN PREGNANT WOMEN AND INFANTS, AND AN INNOVATIVE COMMUNITY-BASED INTERVENTION FOR ZIKA PREVENTION. THIS INTEGRATED APPROACH ENABLES STUDY OF ZIKA'S CLINICAL ASPECTS, EPIDEMIOLOGICAL AND IMMUNOLOGICAL RESPONSES, MODELING OF THE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN IMMUNE RESPONSES, AND EXPANSION OF COMMUNITY-BASED EFFORTS TO PREVENT ZIKA AS WELL AS DENGUE. THIS RESEARCH CONTINUES TO SHOWCASE OUR COLLABORATING SITE IN NICARAGUA WHICH HAS BECOME INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED FOR ARBOVIRUS DIAGNOSIS, RESEARCH AND EPIDEMIOLOGY.IN NICARAGUA, SSI'S STUDIES HAVE RECEIVED FAVORABLE NATIONAL PRESS, STRONG GOVERNMENT SUPPORT, AND HIGH REGARD WITHIN THE COMMUNITIES WHERE WORK IS CONDUCTED.FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS, SSI HAS BEEN WORKING TOWARDS UNDERSTANDING THE EPIDEMIOLOGY AND CLINICAL PRESENTATION OF INFLUENZA AND OTHER RESPIRATORY VIRUS INFECTIONS IN NICARAGUA. IN LATE 2015, SSI-NICARAGUA WAS SELECTED AS ONE OF FOUR SITES TO CONDUCT A CDC-FUNDED STUDY EXAMINING INFLUENZA PREVENTION AMONG INFANTS THROUGH VACCINATION. THIS STUDY, AND ANOTHER EXAMINING INFLUENZA TRANSMISSION WITHIN HOUSEHOLDS, ARE CONDUCTED IN CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH THE NICARAGUAN MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. SSI RECEIVES CONTINUED SUPPORT OF ITS INFLUENZA COHORT STUDY FROM THE NIH CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FOR INFLUENZA RESEARCH AND SURVEILLANCE AT THE ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL.SSI, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE NICARAGUAN MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND THE UNIV. OF CALIFORNIA AT BERKELEY, CONTINUES TO OPERATE THE PEDIATRIC DENGUE COHORT STUDY (NOW IN ITS 14TH YEAR) AND THE HOSPITAL-BASED STUDY (NOW IN ITS 20TH YEAR) IN MANAGUA. THESE COHORT STUDIES SUPPLY THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND BIOREPOSITORY THAT ALLOWS SSI AND ITS PARTNERS TO BE LEADERS IN GLOBAL ARBOVIRUS RESEARCH. EACH YEAR APPROXIMATELY 3,600 CHILDREN PARTICIPATE PROVIDING INVALUABLE BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES USED TO STUDY DETERMINANTS OF PROTECTION FROM, AND RISK OF, DENGUE, ZIKA AND CHIKUNGUNYA DISEASE. IN 2017, OUR RESEARCH RESULTED IN A NUMBER OF HIGH-IMPACT PUBLICATIONS AND SCIENTIFIC PRESENTATIONS. SSI IS ADAPTING ITS DENGUECHAT TOOL FOR COMMUNITY-BASED RESEARCH ON ZIKA. THE DENGUECHAT TOOL, DEVELOPED AT UNIV. OF CALIFORNIA AT BERKELEY, IS A FREE TECHNOLOGY THAT SUPPORTS COMMUNITY-LEVEL MOSQUITO CONTROL EFFORTS. THE PLATFORM ALLOWS A HEALTH TEAM - BRIGADISTAS DE SALUD Y VIDA - TO CAPTURE ENTOMOLOGICAL DATA, VISUALIZE HIGH-RISK AREAS, AND MEASURE IMPACT OVER TIME. DENGUECHAT EMPOWERS THE COMMUNITY TO PRODUCE AND SYSTEMATIZE LOCAL, REAL-TIME DATA TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT MOSQUITO CONTROL TO PREVENT DENGUE, CHIKUNGUNYA AND ZIKA. THE PLATFORM'S BLOG ALLOWS COMMUNITY BRIGADES TO CONNECT, COMPETE, AND SHARE INFORMATION ENCOURAGING

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0CAPACITY-BUILDING WORKSHOPSLED BY SSI'S SCIENTIFIC DIRECTOR, MARIA ELENA PENARANDA PHD, SSI'S CAPACITY-BUILDING PROGRAM TRAINS AND TRANSFERS TECHNOLOGIES TO NASCENT SCIENTISTS AND HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AROUND THE WORLD VIA IN-COUNTRY, SHORT-TERM, INTENSIVE HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS. WORKSHOPS ARE FUNDED BY GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS, NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS, SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTIONS, UNIVERSITIES, PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS AND INDIVIDUAL DONORS. WORKSHOP TOPICS INCLUDE: TECHNIQUES FOR COST-EFFECTIVE DIAGNOSIS AND EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF REGION-ENDEMIC INFECTIOUS DISEASES, RESEARCH DESIGN, MANUSCRIPT WRITING FOR PUBLICATION, AS WELL AS PROPOSAL WRITING AIMED AT HELPING SCIENTISTS CRYSTALIZE THEIR IDEAS AND SUCCESSFULLY APPLY FOR LARGER FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES.SSI ENGAGES TALENTED BIOMEDICAL SCIENTISTS AND PROGRAM DIRECTORS AND BY EXTENSION THEIR INSTITUTIONS - TO SERVE AS LOCAL TRAINERS AND MENTORS.USING THIS "TRAIN THE TRAINERS" APPROACH, SSI HAS DEVELOPED A NETWORK OF EXPERIENCED PEER TRAINERS AND TUTORS THAT HAS CONDUCTED OVER 100 WORKSHOPS AND TRAINED MORE THAN 2,500 HEALTH RESEARCHERS FROM 33 LOW INCOME COUNTRIES IN AFRICA, ASIA AND THE AMERICAS.THIS "TRAIN THE TRAINERS" MODEL, COMBINED WITH OUR LONG-TERM COMMITMENT, HAS BUILT ENDURING AND RESILIENT NETWORKS THAT EXPAND REGIONAL CAPACITY TO CONDUCT CLINICAL AND BASIC RESEARCH, DEVELOP CRITICAL SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE BASE AMONG COLLEAGUES, AND SUPPORT REGIONAL SCIENTISTS TO EFFECT REAL CHANGE IN THE HEALTH OF THEIR COMMUNITIES. SSI'S WORK IS RECOGNIZED AS A MODEL FOR TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AND CAPACITY BUILDING BY THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO), PAN AMERICAN HEALTH ORGANIZATION (PAHO), U.S. NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION, U.S. NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, THE GATES FOUNDATION, AND THE MINISTRIES OF HEALTH IN SEVERAL COUNTRIES.IN 2017, SSI TRAINED 116 HEALTH PROFESSIONALS IN SIX CAPACITY-BUILDING WORKSHOPS ON LABORATORY TECHNIQUES, SCIENTIFIC WRITING AND RESEARCH PROPOSAL PREPARATION. THE CENTER FOR EMERGING AND NEGLECTED DISEASES (CEND) INVITED SSI TO TEACH A PROPOSAL WRITING WORKSHOP FOR MASTER'S AND DOCTORAL STUDENTS AT MAKERERE UNIVERSITY IN KAMPALA, UGANDA. DUE TO SSI'S EXPERIENCE IMPLEMENTING THE LATEST TECHNIQUES FOR DETECTING AND DIAGNOSING ZIKA, DENGUE AND CHIKUNGUNYA VIRUSES, SSI ALSO RECEIVED A GRANT FROM THE CONSERVATION FOOD AND HEALTH FOUNDATION (CFHF) TO CONDUCT LABORATORY TRAINING IN CENTRAL AMERICA. THE WORKSHOP TOOK PLACE IN HONDURAS, WITH PARTICIPATION OF SCIENTISTS FROM PANAMA, NICARAGUA, EL SALVADOR, HONDURAS AND GUATEMALA.
