Update from the Council on Governmental Relations: Recovery Act information

Federal agencies have begun posting information on how they plan to allocate funding received under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), including in some cases how they will monitor and report their actual spending. Below are 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.
