Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for New York City Applicants
The Multi-Year Support for Advanced Study and Research grant prioritizes outcomes that drive innovation and address pressing challenges in scientific and technical fields. For New York City applicants, the Foundation is particularly interested in projects that leverage the city's unique strengths in research and development, such as its concentration of top-ranked universities and research institutions.
One key outcome is the advancement of cutting-edge research in areas like biotechnology, clean energy, and data science. The New York City Economic Development Corporation has identified these sectors as critical to the city's economic growth, and the grant can support students and researchers pursuing projects in these fields. For instance, a graduate student at Columbia University or NYU might use grant funds to support research on climate resilience or artificial intelligence.
Another priority outcome is the development of a diverse and talented workforce. New York City is home to a diverse population, with students from a wide range of backgrounds and institutions. The grant can help support students from underrepresented groups in STEM fields, helping to build a more inclusive and equitable talent pipeline. The New York City Department of Education's STEM initiatives are a key partner in this effort.
The grant also aims to foster collaboration between academia, industry, and government. New York City is a hub for startup activity, with many incubators and accelerators located in the city. By supporting research and education projects that engage with these ecosystems, the grant can help drive innovation and job creation. For example, a researcher at Cornell Tech might partner with a startup in the Brooklyn Navy Yard to develop new technologies.
Measuring Success in New York City
To measure the success of the grant, the Foundation will track a range of outcomes, including the number of students and researchers supported, the number of research projects completed, and the impact of those projects on the fields in question. The Foundation will also track the career trajectories of grant recipients, to understand how the funding supports their long-term goals.
In New York City, the grant will also be evaluated in the context of the city's broader innovation ecosystem. This includes the city's research institutions, startup accelerators, and industry partners. By supporting projects that engage with these stakeholders, the grant can help drive economic growth and job creation in the city. For example, the NYC Small Business Services team provides resources for entrepreneurs and small business owners, which can be complemented by the grant's support for research and education.
Supporting Innovation in NYC
New York City's unique character presents both opportunities and challenges for innovation. The city's dense concentration of research institutions, startups, and industry partners creates a fertile ground for collaboration and knowledge transfer. At the same time, the high cost of living and doing business in the city can be a barrier to entry for some researchers and entrepreneurs. To address these challenges, the grant can support projects that leverage the city's strengths while also addressing its challenges.
Applicants should be aware that the Foundation is particularly interested in projects that demonstrate a clear understanding of the NYC innovation ecosystem and a plan for engaging with its stakeholders. This might include partnerships with organizations like the NYC Tech Meetup or the Brooklyn Innovation Center. By supporting projects that are deeply rooted in the NYC ecosystem, the grant can help drive meaningful impact and outcomes.
