Mission and programs · 2024

• THE LIMB LOSS & PRESERVATION REGISTRY (LLPR) AIMS TO CLOSE MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH KNOWLEDGE GAPS THAT WILL BE CRITICAL TO LIMB LOSS CARE, REFINING REHABILITATION APPROACHES AND GUIDING DEVELOPMENT OF PROSTHETICS FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH LIIMB LOSS. THE LLPR WILL ENABLE RESEARCHERS STUDYING MEDICAL CONDITIONS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO LIMB LOSS, SUCH AS DIABETES, TO ANALYZE THE REGISTRY OF DATA BY FACTORS INCLUDING AGE, GENDER, TYPE OF SURGERY AND PROSTHESIS TO BETTER SUPPORT LONG-TERM CARE OF THESE PATIENTS. THE AIM IS TO ENHANCE THEIR FUNCTIONALITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE LONG-TERM AND HELP ENABLE PATIENTS TO BETTER CARE FOR THEMSELVES, WORK AND BE MORE ACTIVE IN DAILY LIFE. THE LLPR ACHIEVED A MAJOR MILESTONE IN 2022, MEANING THAT THE ARCHITECTURE AND DEVELOPED SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS FOR THE LLPR MEET THE FEDERAL RISK AND AUTHORIZATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (FEDRAMP), NIST 800-53, AND HIPPA SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR A US GOVERNMENT SYSTEM. THE LLPR HAS BEEN RECEIVING DATA FEEDS SINCE MARCH 2022 AND HAS COLLECTED DATA FOR 466,418 PATIENTS THROUGH JUNE 2025.

  Expenses $135,334

• AUTISM PROGRAM: TLI IS DEVELOPING AN ONLINE RESEARCH GATEWAY WHERE PHYSICIANS CAN EASILY SEARCH OVER 40,000 PUBLISHED RESEARCH ARTICLES ON AUTISM AND USE THIS RESEARCH TO ENSURE THAT PEER-REVIEWED MEDICAL INTERVENTIONS REACH AUTISTIC PATIENTS. PHYSICIANS WILL ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO SECURE AND PRIVATE FORUMS TO COMMUNICATE AND COLLABORATE.

  Expenses $208,498

• AMD PROGRAM - EYES ON THE FUTURE: TLI IS WORKING TO IMPLEMENT A PLAN FOR DEVELOPING A PATIENT PORTAL FOR THOSE LIVING WITH AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION (AMD) THAT WILL COLLECT CRITICAL PATIENT DATA AND PROVIDE LINKS TO RESOURCES FOR PATIENTS SUCH AS LOCAL SUPPORT SERVICES, ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FOR MEDICATIONS AND INSURANCE, AND LIFESTYLE CHANGES THAT CAN BE MADE TO SUPPORT EYE HEALTH. THE DATA COLLECTED THROUGH SURVEYS WILL ADDRESS CURRENT KNOWLEDGE GAPS THAT COULD HELP RESEARCHERS AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS IMPROVE PATIENT OUTCOMES FOR PEOPLE IN THE AMD COMMUNITY AND BE USED TO HELP THE DEVELOPMENT OF RESEARCH PROJECTS AND GUIDE HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS FOR YEARS TO COME. PRIMARY GOALS INCLUDE BUILDING THE PATIENT PORTAL AND COLLECTING AND SHARING SURVEY DATA THROUGH POPULATION-LEVEL ANALYTICS.

  Revenue $20,296

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
