Eligible institutions are encouraged to seek a 10% match from the New York State Innovation Economy Matching Grants Program for this NIH funding. To apply for a matching fund commitment letter, please go to the New York State Recovery Website.

New York State will use the Innovation Economy Matching Grants Program primarily to support ARRA applications to federal agencies in strategic technology areas that have been identified as crucial to the expansion of the State’s economy. Applications will be prioritized 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.

The Governor’s Economic Recovery and Reinvestment (Stimulus) Cabinet will make every effort to highlight and convey those ARRA solicitations for which the State will consider providing matching funds as solicitations are announced.

All applications submitted to New York for funding under this program must include a description of the project to be undertaken, the potential economic impact the project will have on New York and show a demonstrable tie to New York industry
