Ideal Applicant
An established university, medical center, or research laboratory with capacity to receive research subawards, ideally with existing ties or geographic proximity to New York and a genomics-focused project.
Good Fit
- • Institutional capacity to manage research subawards (university or large lab).
- • Research project closely aligned with genomics or disease-focused sequencing work.
- • Existing collaborations or prior subawards with NY-based research institutions.
- • Based in New York or able to demonstrate operational partnership with NY institutions.
Geography
Grants appear multi-state (recipients in six states) but are heavily concentrated in New York, which received about 73% of dollars in the latest year, indicating a primarily state/regional footprint.
Recipient Variety
The funder supported about 13–14 distinct independent recipients each year (major research universities and labs), showing a moderately broad set of institutional recipients but within a narrow mission area (research/subawards).
New Applicants
With three years observed, most recipients recur (13 returning in the latest year) and only one new grantee was added in the latest year; combined with the absence of formal application instructions, this suggests unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to break into the portfolio without partnerships or introductions.
