American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) information
Updated September 15, 2009
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) is generating a variety of funding opportunities for faculty. Federal agencies have started posting information on how they plan to allocate funding received under the ARRA, including in some cases how they will monitor and report their actual spending. Below are some of the web site links established so far. Note that NIH has posted the most details, including an ARRA funding announcement for Challenge Grants and special terms and conditions for ARRA awards. As expected, these special terms and conditions contain the extensive reporting requirements described in the ARRA and in OMB's guidance to agencies. For an overview of the ARRA, please see: http://www.recovery.gov/.
