The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) awarded a $3,214,000 Project Grant under the Congressional Directives program (CFDA 93.493) to the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory (MDIBL) in Bar Harbor, Maine. The award, effective September 30, 2024, supports the construction of a research facility to advance MDIBL's work in biomedical research and education.
As an NIH Center for Biomedical Research Excellence, MDIBL conducts basic research on topics like tissue regeneration, aging, immunology, genetics, and virology. The laboratory provides a range of research services and educational programs to federal agencies, including biomedical studies, animal model development, training programs, and scientific symposia. MDIBL has previously received grant awards from agencies like NIH, NSF, and HHS, contributing to projects on environmental health, cell biology, and organ engineering. The Congressional Directives program funding will enable MDIBL to further expand its research capabilities and educational outreach through the construction of a new facility.
