The effort spans five years, includes curriculum development, workshop delivery, technical assistance, and statewide knowledge‑transfer products, and is funded up to $3.75 M.

• Produce case studies, guidebooks, and a market‑transformation outreach plan to disseminate cohort results statewide.
• Manage project administration, reporting (quarterly progress reports, Gantt‑chart schedule), and compliance with NYS laws (EO 16, accessibility, cybersecurity, etc.).
• Budget is time‑and‑materials, with a maximum commitment of $3.75 M; project‑management costs limited to ≤ 5 % of total budget.
