We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

To promote high quality patient-centered care through accreditation of training programs and certification of physicians in neurologic subspecialties.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The mission of the UCNS is to promote high quality patient-centered care through accreditation of training programs and certification of physicians in neurologic subspecialties.

  • CONTINUING CERTIFICATION: UCNS continuous certification (C-cert) provides diplomates with a relevant, effective, timely, and convenient way to meet the needs of lifelong learning and self-assessment. UCNS diplomates maintain their certification by meeting annual C-cert requirements. Diplomates must possess an active, unrestricted license to practice medicine, be a diplomate in good standing of the ABMS, AOA, or RCPSC, pay the annual C-cert administrative fee, read annual designated subspecialty journal articles, and pass an annual online knowledge assessment quiz.

  • INITIAL CERTIFICATION:UCNS offers high-stakes certification examinations for nine neurologic subspecialties. Physicians who pass their respective subspecialty certification examination demonstrate their competence in their chosen neurology specialty and commit to lifelong learning to provide quality patient care. The certification process is overseen by the Certification Council, a standing committee reporting to the UCNS Board of Directors. In 2025, certification examinations were offered for the neurologic subspecialties of Clinical Neuromuscular Pathology, Neurocritical Care, and Neuro-oncology. As of the end of 2025 there are 3,362 UCNS-certified physicians.

  • ACCREDITATION:UCNS-accredited programs demonstrate that they meet the standards of graduate medical education excellence set by the UCNS and the subspecialty experts of each of the UCNS-recognized subspecialties. The peer-reviewed accreditation process is overseen by the Accreditation Council, a standing committee reporting to the UCNS Board of Directors. As of the end of 2025, United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS) has 259 accredited fellowship programs in ten subspecialties.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

No itemized grant names this organization as a recipient. Only grants over $5,000 are itemized, and only by filers of the full Form 990.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Not present in the most recent drop.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
