Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

We celebrate Black Marine Scientists, promote environmental awareness and inspire future scientific leaders.

  • BIMS INSTITUTE (Documentary, BIMS Science, and COPE) also hopes to partner on initiatives to broaden science education and outreach. With only 2% of black scholars receiving an Ocean Science doctoral degree, BIMS envisions conducting outreach in marginalized communities to educate residents and enrich the scientific research process. This work is a less significant portion of BIMS activities (less than 5%), funded through subgrants from researchers. Involvement in this outreach will further BIMS in its educational and scientific purposes.

    Expenses $76,479

  • BIP WEEK, a week of events introducing minority undergrads to marine science, includes marine lab tours and hands-on field experience. There are seven student participants from across the country ranging in age from 19-22 in the first to third year of college.

    Expenses $22,204

  • SCUBA COURSE, we piloted our first SCUBA diving certification program to increase the number of Black SCUBA divers in the field. Barriers and lack of access to SCUBA diving can make it challenging to receive the certification, although this is a valuable tool for marine scientists. In 2022, we increased the number of students from 4 to 8.

    Expenses $18,474

As filed on the 2022 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
