The James D. Watson (JDW) Investigator Program is twofold. First, the Program is designed to recognize, retain, and support the professional development of outstanding early career Life Sciences and Enabling Sciences researchers who work in New York's academic, public, and not-for-profit private research centers and who demonstrate a willingness and ability to develop research into economic opportunities in the State.
The James D. Watson (JDW) Investigator Program is designed to achieve the following goals:
Recognize, retain, and support the professional development of outstanding early career Life Sciences and Enabling Sciences researchers who work in New York's academic, public, and not-for-profit private research centers;
Outstanding early career Life Sciences and Enabling Sciences researchers who demonstrate a willingness and ability to develop research into economic opportunities in the State;
Contribute to New York's economy through innovation and commercialization of technology by transferring it to companies in New York State; and
Facilitate New York's ability to retain its top scientific talent.
The JDW Program provides interim State assistance to generate long-term commitment by an Applicant Institution to a Candidate and his or her proposed research directed toward applied applications.
NYSTAR expects the Watson Investigators to attract additional funding from federal, foundation, and other public and private sources and to participate in Entrepreneurial Endeavors that will benefit New York State. Awards granted from the JDW Program are expected to benefit the economy of New York by:
Contributing to the growth of new high-technology industries and jobs as a result of the transfer and Commercialization of research;
Contributing to the growth in the number of Entrepreneurial Endeavors generated by New York's research institutions;
Increasing corporate and venture capital investments in high-technology research and development;
Expanding the research capabilities and economic impact of New York's Institutions of Higher Education; and
Increasing the number and amount of federal, foundation, and other research grants received in New York.

The Candidate must be conducting research directed toward applied applications in the Life Sciences or Enabling Sciences.
