​Governor Kathy Hochul has proposed significant investments to enhance Stony Brook University's (SBU) research capabilities. In her State of the State address, she recommended allocating $200 million in capital funding to develop new and renovated research facilities at SBU and the University at Buffalo. Additionally, the proposal includes matching up to $500 million in state funds to support endowments at SBU and three other university centers.
