ENDOWMENT FUNDS PART V, LINE 4 THE INVESTMENT AND SPENDING POLICIES FOR THE ENDOWMENT ASSETS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE A PREDICTABLE STREAM OF FUNDING FOR THE PROGRAMS SUPPORTED BY ENDOWMENT INCOME, WHILE SEEKING TO MAINTAIN THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE ENDOWMENT ASSETS. IN ADDITION, WHEN CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF INCOME TO APPROPRIATE FROM BOARD-DESIGNATED ASSETS, THE TRUSTEES CONSIDER THE NEED TO MAINTAIN UNRESTRICTED ASSETS TO MEET LIQUIDITY COVENANTS RELATED TO OUTSTANDING BONDS. ACCORDINGLY, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS SET THE INVESTMENT ALLOCATION TO ACHIEVE A NOMINAL RATE OF RETURN THAT WILL AT LEAST COVER INFLATION AND THE SPEND RATE WITH A PRUDENT LEVEL OF RISK. THE INVESTMENT ALLOCATION FOR THE BOARD-DESIGNATED PORTION OF THE ENDOWMENT IS SET TO ACHIEVE GREATER STABILITY IN THE VALUE OF INVESTMENTS. THE BOARD ALLOCATED 4% OF THE THREE YEAR AVERAGE VALUE OF DONOR-DESIGNATED ENDOWMENT BALANCES TO SUPPORT THE DESIGNATED PROGRAMS. ALL EARNINGS ON DONOR ENDOWMENTS ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE GENERAL SUPPORT FOR THE LABORATORY AS APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES WERE RETAINED IN THE ENDOWMENT. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES WISHES TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF ENDOWMENT SUPPORT AVAILABLE IN THE FUTURE.

ORGANIZATION'S MISSION FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 THE MISSION OF THE LABORATORY IS TO DISCOVER PRECISE GENOMIC SOLUTIONS FOR DISEASE AND EMPOWER THE GLOBAL BIOMEDICAL COMMUNITY IN THE SHARED QUEST TO IMPROVE HUMAN HEALTH. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS MISSION THE LABORATORY 1) CONDUCTS BASIC BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH TO INCREASE THE KNOWLEDGE OF DEVELOPMENT, GROWTH, REPRODUCTION, PHYSIOLOGICAL, AND GENETICALLY DETERMINED AILMENTS THROUGH RESEARCH WITH GENETICALLY DEFINED EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS; 2) CONDUCTS TRANSLATIONAL BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH TO IDENTIFY THE GENOMIC BASIS FOR HUMAN DISEASE, PROMOTE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MORE PRECISE, TARGETED THERAPIES, AND OFFER CUTTING EDGE GENOMIC DIAGNOSTICS TO THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY; 3) TRAINS AND EDUCATES SCIENTISTS, PHYSICIANS, AND OTHER PROFESSIONALS IN THESE AREAS; AND 4) PROMOTES SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY THROUGH THE PROVISION OF MOUSE MODELS OF HUMAN DISEASE AND THE PROVISION OF RESEARCH AND CLINICAL SERVICES TO THE GLOBAL SCIENTIFIC AND MEDICAL COMMUNITY. IN 2012, THE LABORATORY ESTABLISHED JAX GENOMIC MEDICINE IN FARMINGTON, CT TO ACCELERATE THE TRANSLATION OF DISCOVERIES MADE IN BASIC RESEARCH TO TREATMENTS FOR HUMAN DISEASE.
PROGRAM SERVICES FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A-4C 4A. GENETIC RESOURCES THE JACKSON LABORATORY GENERATES AND MAINTAINS AN OPEN-SOURCE MOUSE GENOME DATABASE, THE WORLD'S LARGEST PUBLICALLY ACCESSIBLE INFORMATION SOURCE ABOUT THE LABORATORY MOUSE. IT IS AVAILABLE TO THE WORLDWIDE RESEARCH COMMUNITY, DRIVING DISCOVERY IN CANCER, DIABETES, OSTEOPOROSIS, ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND MANY OTHER AREAS CRITICAL TO HUMAN HEALTH. THIS DATABASE EXPERIENCES CLOSE TO 9 MILLION "HITS" PER WEEK. THE LABORATORY'S MOUSE REPOSITORY OFFERED A PORTFOLIO OF OVER 7,400 MOUSE LINES INCLUDING INBRED STRAINS, PANELS OF MICE FOR GENETIC MAPPING, MOLECULAR TOOL STRAINS, AND GENETICALLY ENGINEERED STRAINS. THESE INCLUDED A WIDE SELECTION OF STRAINS GENETICALLY ENGINEERED AS MOUSE MODELS OF HUMAN DISEASES, AMONG THEM CANCER, HEART DISEASE, ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE, ALS, DIABETES, PARKINSON'S DISEASE, SPINAL MUSCULAR ATROPHY, HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE AND VARIOUS AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES. THE JACKSON LABORATORY IS COLLABORATING WITH A COMPONENT OF THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE, THE UC DAVIS CANCER CENTER, AND OTHER CANCER CENTERS, TO IMPROVE THE SUCCESS RATE OF NEW CANCER DRUGS IN HUMAN CLINICAL TRIALS. UNDER THE COLLABORATION, A RANGE OF GENETICALLY ENGINEERED AND HUMAN TRANSPLANT MOUSE MODEL STUDIES WILL BE INTEGRATED WITH PATIENT TREATMENT CLINICAL TRIAL STUDIES UNDER A UNIFORM AND CONTROLLED TESTING MECHANISM. DATA RESULTING FROM THIS COMBINED APPROACH WILL HELP IDENTIFY MOLECULES (BIOMARKERS) THAT COULD PREDICT CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH CANDIDATE DRUGS WILL BE MOST EFFECTIVE. THE JACKSON LABORATORY HAS A NEW RARE AND ORPHAN DISEASE CENTER TO ADDRESS CONDITIONS THAT, WHILE INDIVIDUALLY RARE, COLLECTIVELY AFFECT ABOUT ONE IN 10 AMERICANS, ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR RARE DISORDERS. ABOUT 80 PERCENT OF RARE DISEASES ARE GENETIC IN ORIGIN, ABOUT HALF AFFECT CHILDREN, MANY ARE FATAL, AND VERY FEW HAVE CURES RARE CONDITIONS ARE OFTEN DESCRIBED AS "ORPHAN" BECAUSE THEY RECEIVE RELATIVELY LITTLE ATTENTION AND INVESTMENT FROM PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES. TREATMENTS FOR RARE DISEASES OFFER LOWER POTENTIAL FINANCIAL RETURN ON INVESTMENT COMPARED TO DRUGS FOR MORE COMMON, HIGH-VISIBILITY CONDITIONS SUCH AS CANCER AND DIABETES. TO ADDRESS THIS MAJOR HEALTH ISSUE, THE NONPROFIT JACKSON LABORATORY LAUNCHED THE NEW RARE AND ORPHAN DISEASE CENTER TO CONSOLIDATE ITS RESEARCH INTO THE GENETIC BASIS OF SOME OF THESE CONDITIONS AND TO APPLY ITS SPECIALIZED RESEARCH RESOURCES TO HELP SCIENTISTS AROUND THE WORLD IN THEIR SEARCH FOR NEW TREATMENTS FOR UNCOMMON CONDITIONS. 4B. RESEARCH JACKSON LABORATORY RESEARCHERS LED BY ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR ZHONG-WEI ZHANG, PH.D., PROVIDED DIRECT EVIDENCE THAT A SPECIFIC NEUROTRANSMITTER RECEPTOR IS VITAL TO THE PROCESS OF PRUNING SYNAPSES IN THE BRAINS OF NEWBORN MAMMALS. FAULTY PRUNING AT THIS EARLY DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE IS IMPLICATED IN AUTISM-SPECTRUM DISORDERS AND SCHIZOPHRENIA. JACKSON LABORATORY RESEARCHERS FOUND A GENE THAT CONTROLS MULTIPLE PROCESSES ESSENTIAL TO BUILDING A VIABLE MAMMALIAN EGG, MAKING IT A MASTER REGULATOR OF EGG DEVELOPMENT. THE RESEARCH TEAM, LED BY PROFESSOR JOHN EPPIG, PH.D., SHOWED THAT A GENE THEY NAMED MARF1 IN MICE DIRECTS KEY PROCESSES NEEDED TO PRODUCE EGGS CAPABLE OF BEING FERTILIZED AND DEVELOPING INTO HEALTHY BABIES. DEFECTS IN THE GENE RESULTED IN A CASCADE OF ABNORMALITIES, RESULTING IN DEFECTIVE EGG PRODUCTION AND FEMALE INFERTILITY. JACKSON LABORATORY RESEARCHERS DEMONSTRATED THAT A SINGLE, TARGETED X-RAY TREATMENT OF AN INDIVIDUAL EYE IN YOUNG, GLAUCOMA-PRONE MICE PROVIDED THAT EYE WITH APPARENTLY LIFE-LONG AND TYPICALLY COMPLETE PROTECTION FROM GLAUCOMA. IN RESEARCH PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL OF CLINICAL INVESTIGATION, GARETH HOWELL, PH.D., SIMON JOHN, PH.D., (PROFESSOR AND HOWARD HUGHES MEDICAL INVESTIGATOR) AND COLLEAGUES ALSO USED SOPHISTICATED GENOMICS METHODS TO UNCOVER SOME OF THE VERY FIRST PATHWAYS TO CHANGE DURING GLAUCOMA IN THESE MICE. THE FIRST PATHWAY THEY DETECTED TO CHANGE SUGGESTS A CRITICAL MECHANISM THAT COULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EARLIEST DAMAGE THAT GLAUCOMA INFLICTS ON THE OPTIC NERVE. A JACKSON LABORATORY RESEARCH TEAM LED BY PROFESSOR AND HOWARD HUGHES MEDICAL INVESTIGATOR SUSAN ACKERMAN, PH.D., DISCOVERED A DEFECT IN THE RNA SPLICING PROCESS IN NEURONS THAT MAY CONTRIBUTE TO NEUROLOGICAL DISEASE. THE RESEARCHERS FOUND THAT A MUTATION IN JUST ONE OF THE MANY COPIES OF A GENE KNOWN AS U2 SNRNAS, WHICH IS INVOLVED IN THE INTRICATE PROCESSING OF PROTEIN-ENCODING RNAS, CAUSES NEURODEGENERATION. MANY SO-CALLED NON-CODING RNAS-THOSE THAT DON'T DIRECTLY ENCODE PROTEINS-ARE FOUND IN MULTIPLE COPIES IN THE GENOME. FOR THE FIRST TIME, IT WAS SHOWN THAT A MUTATION IN ONE COPY CAN LEAD TO DISEASE. THE JACKSON LABORATORY CREATED A NEW INSTITUTE FOR GENOMICS-BASED PERSONALIZED MEDICINE IN CONNECTICUT. JAX GENOMIC MEDICINE, LOCATED ON THE CAMPUS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT HEALTH CENTER, WILL FOCUS ON MEDICAL APPLICATIONS OF GENOMICS AND PERSONALIZED MEDICINE WITH ACADEMIC AND CLINICAL PARTNERS IN CONNECTICUT AND AROUND THE WORLD. 4C. TRAINING THE JACKSON LABORATORY PROVIDED 20 COURSES, CONFERENCES, SEMINARS AND WORKSHOP EVENTS. THESE UNIQUE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES ATTRACTED 595 PARTICIPANTS FROM THE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH COMMUNITIES, AFFORDING THEM WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO TRADE INSIGHTS WITH 308 FACULTY MEMBERS. THE JACKSON LABORATORY HAS OFFERED SCHOOL-YEAR INTERNSHIPS TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOLS SINCE 1993. THIS PROGRAM ATTRACTED EIGHT STUDENTS. A HANDS-ON PROGRAM FOR SCIENCE TEACHERS ATTRACTED FIVE PARTICIPANTS. THIS INNOVATIVE TEACHER SABBATICAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM PROVIDES MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE TEACHERS IN MAINE PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOLS HANDS-ON RESEARCH EXPERIENCE DURING A SEMESTER AT THE JACKSON LABORATORY. THE JACKSON LABORATORY'S HISTORIC SUMMER STUDENT PROFRAM HAD 39 TALENTED PARTICIPANTS. THE NATIONALLY RENOWNED PROGRAM PROVIDES HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONDUCT INDEPENDENT RESEARCH UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF STAFF SCIENTISTS. MORE THAN 2,200 STUDENTS, INCLUDING THREE NOBEL LAUREATES, HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE PROGRAM. MOST ALUMNI GO ON TO CAREERS IN MEDICINE OR RESEARCH.
