2024 GOALS For over 90 years, e Jackson Labo- ratory ( JAX) has made extensive con- tributions in nearly every disease area. The JAX strategic plan presents an unprecedented opportunity to leverage the Laboratory's scientific expertise and unique capabilities to develop and pro- vide research resources to the global sci- entific community. Our major goals are: build the bridge between mouse model organisms and human disease; expand and innovate JAX® Mice, Clinical and Research Services; create the JAX Global Data Sciences Hub; create enhanced cellular models of human disease; and, for our nearly 3,000 co-workers world- wide, deliver an exceptional employee experience. COMMUNITY IMPACT e Jackson Laboratory's Volunteer Time Off program offers all employees two paid days per year for charitable activities in their community. JAX Community Vol- unteers are small groups of employees who work for a common cause, including Heart of Maine United Way, Alzheimer's Association of Maine and others. JAX staff members serve on town councils, select boards and planning boards, and are involved in nonprofit organizations that support youth and families with issues such as food insecurity, housing, public health, libraries and education. e JAX College Scholarship Program supports first-generation Maine col- lege students pursuing a STEM degree. GIVING OPPORTUNITIES As a nonprofit biomedical research institution, e Jackson Laboratory can pursue new discoveries thanks in part to philanthropy. Support from donors impacts every facet of JAX's work, from research initiatives and educational pro- grams to recruiting and retaining the brightest minds. Gifts can help scientists advance treatments and cures for addic- tion, aging, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, neurological and immune disorders, rare diseases and more. JAX accepts gifts from companies that sponsor matching gift programs for its employees.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES JAX welcomes volunteers to the Maine State Science Fair, managed by JAX and the Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance. e science fair encourages high school students to submit a science or engineering project and is always seeking volunteers with STEM expertise to be judges at the event.
