New York First Congressional District Representative Nick LaLota (R-Suffolk County) has announced additional research grants at Stony Brook University. Through these grants, Stony Brook will receive an additional $6,955,090 in federal funding. Programs receiving funding include research projects on a wide range of topics including artificial intelligence, prosthetics, cancer, family health, and geothermal energy.
“To offset the ridiculous amount of taxes Long Islanders pay, we deserve our fair share of tax dollars invested in our communities,” said LaLota. “I am proud to see this funding come to important programs at Stony Brook so they can continue their world renowned research. I will always fight to ensure Long Islanders receive as many federal dollars as possible.”
