What it reported doing in 2024

The board of directors have approved a plan of dissolution and distribution of assets (the plan). In conjunction with haskins laboratories overall plan, effective march 31, 2023, haskins laboratories and yale university reached a mutual understanding whereby haskins laboratories' employees with grant funding would make formal requests, individually, for employment and to have their grants transferred to and administered by yale university. Thus, a majority of haskins laboratories' research grant activity ceased in march 2023. Subsequently, haskins laboratories continued to wind down its administrative functions, including paying down any remaining liabilities, a final distribution of remaining assets and finalize the dissolution of the laboratory in accordance with the plan. The New York attorney general approved the dissolution on february 12, 2026.
