American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) 

ORSP and ARRA

On February 19, 2009, President Obama signed the Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), which allocates $21.5 billion for federal research and development over the next two years. Details about how federal agencies will use these stimulus funds continue to emerge. Please check back often for updated information about funding opportunities and how ORSP's Project Officers can assist you.

Awards:
 

UCHC researchers have received 60* ARRA grants, totaling $31,497,678 in research support to date.  *includes sub-recipient consortium agreements

NIH's recovery reporting tool lists ARRA awards to date, by state, congressional district and grantee institution.

 

Reporting Requirements:

Federal Quarterly Reports:  Research Finance will be responsible for filing the Quarterly ARRA reports and will gather and verify the majority of the data. For the federal ARRA Quarterly reports, investigators will be only be responsible for providing the "project status" information, which should be submitted at least 5 business days prior to the respective due date. Quarterly reports are due October 10, January 10, April 10 and July 10. For more information please contact Sunita Singh, ext. 2468.

Annual Reports: PIs must still file annual scientific progress reports directly to the funding agency; Research Finance will also file the annual Financial Status Report. (FRS).

ORSP Internal Deadlines

ORSP requires a minimum of 3 business days prior to an agency's deadline to review and successfully submit grant applications electronically. Because of the system slow-downs at Grants.gov we request that researchers have their completed applications to ORSP well in advance of the agency's deadline.

Note: ARRA applications use the Grants.gov SF 424 e-forms (do not submit via InfoEd).

ORSP's Streamlined Process for Internal Routing and Approval

ORSP will use the NIH ARRA applications to pilot a new, streamlined routing and approval process. Modeled on NIH's just-in-time approach, the internal review process will bypass the Health Center's IRB, ACC, and IBC preliminary reviews (research projects involving human subjects, animals or biosafety hazards must receive full approval prior to an award).

Proposals still require review and approval for salary and space commitments prior to submission to NIH. Please complete all information on the routing and approval form and attach the following documentation:

  • Research Abstract
  • Detailed Budget
  • Budget Justification (which must reflect the level of commitment for senior and key personnel)
