Building our endowment New York State Supports University of Rochester Eforts one of New York State’s most innovative and ambitious high-technology initia- tives is the establishment of “Centers of Excellence” at leading universities. These centers support high-technology ventures and encourage the rapid commercial- ization of scientifc breakthroughs. In recognition of the University’s strengths and capabilities in data science, Governor Andrew Cuomo, in his 2014–15 Executive Budget, established a new Center of Excellence in Data Science at the University and provided $327,000 in operating sup- port. The University will also seek additional capital support for the institute in the budget and through the state’s regional economic development process.
