>>Connecticut icons Mystic Aquarium and the University of Connecticut have enjoyed a longstanding relationship through education and research. The partnership was solidified further with the announcement of a National Science Foundation Grant for Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) earlier this year. Today, the two organizations share a common vision for marine science and education and real estate. That collaboration was recently solidified with a new agreement that makes UConn Avery Point the official home to the Aquarium’s team of researchers.<<

Doesn't say how much the research grant is.

Let's say it is $50k. What it does is put UConn $50k closer to the annual $400m in research it needs to conduct in order to join the club.
