Overview
Mission
To promote the educational/scientific interests of modern analytical and spectroscopic techniques in the chemical, engineering, physical, and biological sciences and organize conferences for the purpose of exchanging information about said state-of-the-art techniques.
What it reported doing in 2025
Conferences are dedicated to promoting the latest advances in modern analytical and spectroscopic techniques in the chemical, engineering, physical and biological sciences. Conferences are generally attended by 150-300 scientists with research interests in solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (50%) and electron paramagnetic resonance (50%). Attendees are primarily from academia with smaller numbers from industry and government labs. Approximately 15% of attendees are graduate students for whom this gathering is often their first opportunity to participate in a professional conference.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 75% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
