Form And Line ReferencePart II-B, Line 1:FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationThe Organization and/or its employees participate in various professional, scientific, and research associations and membership groups. The Organization is required to remit due and fees back to these associations to maintain its membership status. For the period covered by this Form 990, the Organization and/or its employees were members of: the International Zebrafish Society; the International Society of Nephrology; the American Society of Nephrology; the National Association of Independent Research Institutions; the Society for Human Resource Management; the Association of International Educators; and the Bioscience Association of Maine. The Organization's memberships with these various professional bodies allows the Organization to gain access to valuable benefits and resources that advance the Organization's charitable mission. However, it is possible that a portion of the dues paid to these associations may have been available for lobbying expenditure by the associations on behalf of their members, and in furtherance of their members' scientific goals. The Organization estimates that during this tax year, of all dues and fees paid across all memberships, approximately $1,515 may have been available for lobbying purposes. Additionally, a nominal amount of employee staff time may be devoted to meeting with members of the Maine Legislature, for the purpose of discussing matters of scientific importance that directly relate to or impact the Organization's charitable and exempt mission. The Organization estimates that approximately $2,251 of employee expenses were paid during this tax year so that employees of the Organization could meet with and discuss such issues with political representatives in Augusta, Maine.ExplanationTxt

Part V, Line 4:Endowment Funds include both board designated quasi-endowments, permanent endowment, and temporarily restricted endowment funds. Board designated endowments are composed of funds voted to be set aside by the Board of Trustees for the purpose of generating a stream of income in support of the Organization's programs and operations. Permanent and temporarily restricted endowments are composed of funds with donor-imposed restrictions limiting the use of such funds for purposes such as research, education, and facilities. Such funds are set aside to generate a stream of income in furtherance of these purposes and, upon completion of time or use restraints, are released for expenditure.
Part X, Line 2:The Organization is exempt from taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Tax-exempt organizations could be required to record an obligation for income taxes as the result of a tax position they have historically taken on various tax exposure items, including unrelated business income or tax status. Under guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), assets and liabilities are established for uncertain tax positions taken or positions expected to be taken in income tax returns when such positions are judged to not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold, based upon the technical merits of the position. Estimated interest and penalties, if applicable, related to uncertain tax positions are included as a component of income tax expense. Management has evaluated MDIBL's tax positions taken on its filed tax returns and concluded that MDIBL has maintained its tax-exempt status, does not have any significant unrelated business income and has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements.

Form And Line ReferencePart I, Line 2:FormAndLineReferenceDesc
ExplanationThe Mount Desert Island Biological Labs provides grants, awards, and scholarships to multiple organizations and individuals annually. Such awards are intrinsic to our exempt mission to advance scientific research and train the next generation of scientists, physicians and entrepreneurs. In part through our grants and awards programs, funded through federal grants and institutional endowment funds, The MDI Biological Laboratory provides biomedical training to more than 600 students each year. Our training programs emphasize hands-on experiences, problem solving, communication and partnership building. We offer opportunities to students and professionals at all levels, including middle and high school students, undergraduates, graduate students, and post-doctoral research fellows, as well as practicing physicians, veterinarians, scientists, teachers, and members of the public from all backgrounds. Additionally, we offer hands-on residential research fellowships to undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral fellows. Participants join our active, global scientific community and have access to state-of-the-art research laboratories and core facilities, support staff and our inspirational coastal setting. Outside of supporting the education of future scientific leaders, we also provide subawards to other collaborating scientific and research institutions through several grants including the Maine IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE). As the founder and leader of the Maine INBRE program, a collaborative network of 17 Maine educational and research institutions sponsored by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the MDI Biological Laboratory issues subawards to collaborating partners. The Maine INBRE strengthens Maine's capacity to conduct competitive biomedical research by focusing on three key areas: 1. Creating a technically skilled workforce in Maine through biomedical research training for undergraduates. 2. Providing research support to young faculty to increase their competitiveness for federal (NIH) biomedical research grants. 3. Improving the research infrastructure available to INBRE institutions through a collaborative network of core facilities with state-of-the-art equipment. The program provides research support and core facilities to junior faculty and creates research and training opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. It serves as a pipeline for students interested in biomedical research careers and builds the scientific and technical capacity of Maine's workforce. The Organization adopts and maintains strict and thorough recordkeeping practices for all grants and awards, so that all expended funds are used as intended and in alignment with the mission of the Organization. Grants and awards are also subject to the review and oversight of top management and finance personnel. Lastly, as certain grants paid by the Organization are funded through Federal Grant Subaward Agreements, the Organization also routinely and fully complies with Federal Award Audit requirements, to ensure that all records accounting for such subawards are timely, accurate, and complete.ExplanationTxt

Part I, Line 1aThe President lives in the President's Cottage located on the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory campus. The Organization estimates the annual value of this housing to be approximately $27,720. Due to the nature of the President's responsibilities, including the need for the President to be on campus and accessible at nearly all hours on a daily basis, this lodging has been deemed by the Organization to be furnished for the convenience of Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory, and that such a living arrangement is required for the President's position. Accordingly, the value of the housing allowance has not been included in the President's taxable compensation, though it is included in the total amount of non-taxable benefits reported on this Schedule J, Part II, Column D.
Part I, Line 7From time-to-time, subject to the Organization's compensation and benefit review and approval procedures and as budgets allow, the Organization may award bonuses, awards, incentive compensation, or other non-fixed payments to reward employees to accomplishing performance goals or for meeting terms of service milestones. Such payments are discretionary and based on pre-determined goals and evaluation metrics.
