What Research Resources and Opportunities Are Available Through SUNY Downstate?

SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University provides research resources and opportunities through four main channels: research administration and support offices, research centers and departments, clinical trials, and two biotechnology incubators (Downstate Biotechnology Incubator and Tech @ 710 Incubator). These are listed under the Research section of downstate.edu. If you are a researcher, collaborator, or company looking for institutional support, compliance guidance, or incubator space, the site organizes these entry points separately so you can go directly to the relevant office.

Research Administration and Support

The Research section is anchored by two administrative offices:

• Office of the Senior Vice President of Research – the leadership office for the research enterprise.
• Office of Research Administration – handles research-related administrative functions.

Supporting services listed alongside these offices include:

• Research Related Services
• Research Compliance & Training

These are the first stops for questions about how research is governed, administered, and supported at Downstate.

Research Centers and Departments

The site lists Research Centers & Departments as a distinct category. This is the directory-level entry point for finding specific centers or academic departments engaged in research, rather than a single centralized lab. Use this section if you are looking for a particular research group or department rather than administrative help.

Research Opportunities

Research Opportunities is listed as its own item within the Research section. This is where the site points prospective researchers—students, faculty, or collaborators—toward available research openings and participation paths, separate from the administrative and compliance offices.

Clinical Trials

Clinical Trials appears in two places on the site:

• Under the Research section, as a research activity area.
• Under Patient Care, as Find a Clinical Trial, aimed at patients.

If your interest is participating in or learning about studies as a patient, the Patient Care path is the relevant one. If your interest is the research infrastructure around trials, use the Research section entry.

Getting Research Done

Getting Research Done is a dedicated item in the Research section. It functions as the practical starting point for actually initiating or conducting research at Downstate, complementing the administrative and compliance offices listed above.

Biotechnology Incubators and Company Profiles

Downstate operates two incubators, each with its own application path:

Company Profiles are listed for both incubators, so you can review existing resident companies before applying. The Biotechnology Incubator Application is the formal entry point for the Downstate Biotechnology Incubator. If you are a startup or early-stage company seeking lab or office space within an academic medical center environment, these two incubators are the relevant programs.

How to Choose Your Entry Point

• Administrative, compliance, or training questions → Office of Research Administration; Research Compliance & Training.
• Looking for a specific lab, center, or department → Research Centers & Departments.
• Seeking a research position or collaboration → Research Opportunities.
• Patient interested in a study → Find a Clinical Trial (under Patient Care).
• Starting or running a study → Getting Research Done.
• Company seeking incubator space → Downstate Biotechnology Incubator or Tech @ 710 Incubator, with Company Profiles and the Biotechnology Incubator Application.

All of these are reachable from the Research menu on downstate.edu. The site does not publish pricing, eligibility criteria, or deadlines for these programs in the material reviewed, so confirm current requirements directly with the relevant office or incubator before applying.
