FUNDING:

The MART is made possible by New York State Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, the State University of New York and Empire State Development through a $35 million NYSUNY 2020 Challenge Grant, $50 million in support through a historic $150 million gift from Jim and Marilyn Simons, and $53 million in support from New York State Senators John Flanagan and Kenneth LaValle.

Additionally, two back-to-back gifts from Kavita and Lalit Bahl, totaling $13.75 million, established the Kavita and Lalit Bahl Center for Metabolomics and Imaging on Level 9 of the MART and the Kavita and Lalit Bahl Molecular Imaging Laboratory on Level 4.
