This award provides support to the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory (MDIBL) for expansion and winterization of its dining hall. MDIBL provides access for visiting investigators to use marine species for the purpose of investigating mechanisms of basic biological processes such as osmoregulation, cell division, reproduction and the function of vertebrate systems. Educational programs and training in research are offered to students ranging from high school to postdoctoral. Aside from a role in providing meals to students and staff resident at the lab, the facility is used by visitors who come to participate in symposia, workshops and courses held at MDIBL. Use of the lab has more than doubled in the last five years as the laboratory has added new labs, dormitory space and a lecture hall that can be used during winter months. As a result of a growth in summer and winter use, the facility is no longer able to meet the needs of its users. The renovations supported through this award include the doubling of interior dining space, the installation of new plumbing and electrical service, the insulation of the entire building, the drilling a new well for winter water supply, and the addition of a furnace and zone heating. These improvements are expected to expand use of the lab's facilities throughout the year.

该奖项为Mount Desert Island生物实验室（MDIBL）的食堂扩建和防寒提供了支持。MDIBL为访问研究人员提供了利用海洋物种研究基本生物过程机制的途径，如渗透调节、细胞分裂、繁殖和脊椎动物系统的功能。为从高中到博士后的学生提供教育项目和研究培训。除了为居住在实验室的学生和工作人员提供膳食外，该设施还供前来参加MDIBL举办的专题讨论会、研讨会和课程的访客使用。在过去的五年里，实验室的使用率增加了一倍多，因为实验室增加了新的实验室、宿舍空间和一个可以在冬季使用的演讲厅。由于夏季和冬季使用的增长，该设施不再能够满足其用户的需求。该奖项支持的翻新工程包括将室内用餐空间扩大一倍，安装新的管道和电气服务，整个建筑的隔热，钻一口新的冬季供水井，以及增加一个炉子和区域供暖。这些改进预计将在全年扩大实验室设施的使用。
