Program description: To achieve its vision and make New York a national leader in high-technology academic research and economic development, NYSTAR's mission is comprised of five key goals -- benchmarks that reflect the overall charge given to NYSTAR by Governor Pataki and the Legislature through the Jobs 2000 legislation.
These key goals are:
Encourage and expand high-tech academic research and economic development in New York State;
Coordinate and organize New York's wide array of science and technology informational resources and provide our academic, business and research communities access to these resources;
Reform and improve New York's policies regarding royalties and licensing fees, enabling the State to realize a greater amount of revenue from its high-tech investments and reinvest that revenue in new technology development programs;
Substantially increase the amount of Federal research dollars New York and its researchers obtain; and
Develop and recommend policies to the Governor and Legislature that will allow the State to take greater advantage of the tremendous economic power of its inherent science, technology, and academic research assets.
