Bridge and Seed Funding Grants Awarded to NYMC Faculty
NYMC researchers have been awarded bridge and seed funding grants from the Touro College and University System (TCUS). Bridge grants sustain research projects between large grant funding and seed grants enable research to gather initial data. "The outcomes of our faculty's research and scholarship feature prominently in our reputation as an institution of higher education," said Salomon Amar, D.D.S., Ph.D., vice president for research at NYMC, senior vice president for research affairs for TCUS and chair of the TCUS Biomedical and Health Sciences Research Council. "The bridge and seed funding grant programs are one of several initiatives both system-centric and campus-centric by which we seek to recognize excellence and support research as a fundamental component of Touro's mission."

Susan Smith McKinney Steward Park in Brooklyn was named after alumna Susan Smith McKinney Steward, M.D. '1870 (1847-1918), who graduated valedictorian from the New York Medical College for Women in 1870 and was the first African American woman to earn a medical degree in New York State, and the third in the United States. The park, which sits just a few blocks from the Brooklyn Bridge, was one of several parks in New York City to be renamed after prominent African American historical figures in 2020 and is currently undergoing major renovations.
