National Institutes of Health
Supported by the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA)

NIH stimulus funding in the amount of $8.2 billion will help stimulate the US economy through the support and advancement of scientific research. While NIH Institutes and Centers have broad flexibility to invest in many types of grant programs, they will follow the spirit of the ARRA by funding projects that will stimulate the economy, create or retain jobs, and have the potential for making scientific progress in 2 years. NIH expects to:

• Fund recently peer reviewed highly meritorious research grant applications (R01s and others), that can be accomplished in 2 years or less.
• Fund new research applications.
• Accelerate the tempo of ongoing science through targeted supplements to current grants.
• Support new types of activities such as the NIH Challenge Grant program that meet the goals of the ARRA.
• Use other funding mechanisms as appropriate.

The ARRA also provides $1 billion to the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) to support extramural construction, repairs, and alterations in support of all NIH funded research institutions and $300 million for shared instrumentation and other capital equipment to support all NIH activities. See the PowerPoint presentation on NIH Implementation of ARRA (PowerPoint – 13.3 MB).
