Mission & Focus Areas
NYU states that its primary missions are education, research and scholarship, and patient care. Its filing describes NYU Langone Health as its academic medical center and identifies student services, student aid, libraries, and plant operations as other program services.
NYU’s website describes internal funding opportunities for faculty, including research support, curricular development, global research activities, and interdisciplinary projects. For example, the 2026–27 Steinhardt Faculty Challenge Grants support promising scholarship advancing the health, development, and well-being of people and communities. Eligible applicants include full-time Steinhardt faculty and other scholars with principal-investigator status. These are internal university opportunities, not grants for outside applicants.
The organizations listed among NYU’s 2025 grantees illustrate a range of recipients. Washington Square Park Conservancy says it provides funds to the city parks department for staffing and supplies for Washington Square Park. Greenwich House says it offers health, human services, education, and arts programs. Publicolor describes itself as a youth development organization focused on students’ academic and career success, while the Brooklyn Book Festival says it works to enhance Brooklyn’s literary and cultural environment.
