- “Salaries, payroll taxes, and benefits” more than doubled from 2016 to 2017 ($35,773,829 and $83,608,658 respectively). However, from 2016 to 2017, “awards, grants, and prizes” including research grants and fellowships only increased by $5,988,539.
- This information indicates that the amount of money the NMSS has spent on “salaries, payroll taxes, and benefits” has generally increased, while “awards, grants and prizes” amount has generally decreased. This is concerning.
- Per the 2023 financial information, the amount spent on “salaries, payroll taxes, and benefits” was more than double that spent on “awards, grants, and prizes”
- In 2015 and 2016, the amount spent on “awards, grants and prizes” was more than the amount spent on “salaries, payroll taxes, and benefits”; however, as of 2017, the opposite has been true
- It is concerning that the “travel, conferences, and meetings” expenses approximately quadrupled from 2016 to 2017 ($3,265,938 and $13,661,776, respectively)
