 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) is the Federal Government's response to the country's recent economic crisis. This Act is also known as the Stimulus Bill as it is an effort to stimulate the American economy. The AARA will have a dramatic impact on research and development as it "provides $21.5 billion in additional funds for scientific endeavors." The federal agencies charged with implementing the Recovery Act are in the process of rolling out funding announcements, many of them competitive research grants, many unique and almost all requiring a quick turnaround. The Office for Sponsored Programs created this website to enable quick access to ARRA-related information as we receive it. As agencies announce opportunities, this website will be updated. Also, a blog will be coming soon that will track the updates to this website and link to the pre-populated application packages, which are available below.
