NYSTAR Economic Stimulus Information (Official and unofficial information regarding funding programs which may benefit you here in New York State)

(8/27/09) $20.4 million for Stem Cell Faculty and Facilities will be distributed through two separate RFAs seeking proposals to recruit and retain exceptionally talented postdoctoral fellows and to establish and operate specialized resources and facilities:.

• Fellow-to-Faculty Awards in Stem Cell Research ($5.4 million) will enable New York to attract and retain the most promising postdoctoral research fellows and transition them to independent tenure-track positions at research institutions within New York State. The Empire State Stem Cell Scholar awardees will be eligible for up to two years of continued postdoctoral training in stem cell-relevant research, followed by up to three years of funding for independent stem cell research at the faculty level.

• Shared Facilities for Stem Cell Research awards ($15 million) will support the establishment and operation of multi-institutional core research facilities to maximize the expertise, efficiency and quality of stem cell research in New York State. Awards of up to four years will fund specialized resources and facilities to be operated on a shared-use basis in support of basic, applied, translational, pre-clinical or clinical stem cell-related research.

Governor Patterson announced a $100 million Innovation Economy Matching Grant program to strengthen applications by New York universities, institutions and companies in competing for science and technology funding under various federal stimulus programs. The proposal would provide a 10% match to applications involving funding which benefit strategic industry sectors and builds off the state's research strengths.

The matching grant proposal will prioritize applications from the most promising sectors of New York's innovation economy: renewable energy, clean tech, and smart grid; nanotechnology; stem cell, biomedical, and life sciences; advanced manufacturing; broadband, information technology, and cyber security. It is expected that the State will invest up to $100 million over several years, thereby leveraging over $1 billion in federal research funding. (6/8/09)

The New York State Department of Health/NYSTEM is requesting proposals for the comprehensive evaluation of economic and other benefits to inform the ESSCB regarding the impact of the program on stem cell science in New York State and the extent to which the goals of the Strategic Plan are being realized. Such evaluation will not include an assessment of the scientific research conducted through the NYSTEM program. This Request for Proposals (RFP), with bidder forms and instructions can be found on the internet at: http://www.nyhealth.gov/funding/rfp/0810061130 .
