NINR's Role in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

Overview of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) was signed into law by President Obama on February 17th, 2009. It is an unprecedented opportunity to jumpstart our economy, create or save millions of jobs, and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges so our country can thrive in the 21st century. The Act is an extraordinary response to a crisis unlike any since the Great Depression, and includes measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure, enhance energy independence, expand educational opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in greatest need.  From the Department of Health and Human Services For an overview of the Recovery Act, please visit: http://www.hhs.gov/recovery/overview/index.html   For information on implementation of the Recovery Act, please visit: http://www.hhs.gov/recovery/programs/index.html From the National Institutes of Health Learn more about NIH programs that issue grants under the Recovery Act: http://grants.nih.gov/recovery/ View a message from the NINR Director NINR's Role in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) (February 27, 2009) http://www.ninr.nih.gov/AboutNINR/NINRDirectorsPage/ARRA%20Message.htm View a message from the Acting NIH Director NIH's Role in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) (February 25, 2009) http://www.nih.gov/about/director/02252009statement_arra.htm Resources for Applicants Information on Quarterly Reporting for Recovery Act Award Recipients: See http://grants.nih.gov/recovery/recipient_reporting.html NEW!
