2026 NYS Grown & Certified Research and Development Grant

This grant was recently updated

You can still apply on a rolling basis until October 25, 2027 or funds run out, but the page no longer lists the June 26, 2026 opening date; it now specifies notification within six weeks, contracting within 90 days of award notification, and two weeks to correct held applications. Before applying, review the expanded eligibility and documentation rules, including category-specific certification/partnership requirements, provider quotes and timelines, financing details, and relevant supply-chain spreadsheets; only one application is allowed at a time. Funding remains $10,000–$50,000 with a 10% financial match, but review the detailed expense restrictions and potential repayment obligations if you leave certification, New York, or business operations within three years of final payment.
