Re: Update on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
Dear Colleagues:
I want to provide an update on the NHLBI's participation in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The NIH received a tremendous response to Recovery Act requests for applications, including more than 20,000 for Challenge Grants. Given the high volume of response, I outlined in the chart below how we plan to invest the NHLBI ARRA funding. Please note that the projected level of funding and number of awards are estimates.
Additionally, the NIH has released to the public a beta version of its new Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tool Expenditures and Results (RePORTER) system. This new tool, found at http://projectreporter.nih.gov , retains all of the features of CRISP while providing additional query fields that can be sorted and downloaded and includes a search field for ARRA-funded grants.
As we move forward with the review and award of ARRA-related applications, the Institute will continue to work closely with its advisory council to advance the nation's biomedical research agenda, create and preserve jobs, and stimulate the economy. More details about the Institute's rationale, approach, and requirements are provided at http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/recovery .
We remain committed to conducting all of our activities in a spirit of public service and with a commitment to excellence, innovation, integrity, respect, compassion, and open communication. We welcome your comments, feedback, and suggestions at nhlbi.listens@nih.gov .
With best regards,
Betsy
