NIH Announces American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Funding Opportunities

by Barbara Kram, Editor | March 11, 2009

To demonstrate accountability to the American people, institutions that are awarded ARRA funds will be required to submit special progress reports indicating how many jobs were created as a result of the funding. Additionally, recipients of ARRA-supported awards must assess the environmental impact of their facilities; accordingly "green" design approaches and technologies should be considered. Other reporting requirements may also be imposed. ARRA requires an expedited obligation of awards.

NIH conducts and supports outstanding biomedical and behavioral research, through more than 3,000 institutions across the country -- institutions that have a direct impact upon the local economies in their towns, cities and states.
