Administrative History
The Science and Technology Foundation (STF) became part of the Department of Economic Development (DED) in 1995. The New York State Office of Science, Technology, and Academic Research (NYSTAR) was created by the Jobs 2000 for New York State Act (Chapter 684, Laws of 1999). The office funded research into and development of "job-creating technologies" at public and private institutions of higher learning within the State of New York. It also supported a network of non-profit Regional Technology Development Centers to help smaller manufacturers modernize their facilities and facilitate the development of high-tech industry. NYSTAR worked closely with the Empire State Development Corporation.
In 2005, the New York State Foundation for Science and Technology Innovation Act (Chapter 59) created the New York State Foundation for Science, Technology and Innovation.
The New York State Archives is part of the Office of Cultural Education, an office of the New York State Education Department.
