Stimulus Funding

American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009

 

The American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009, signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009, offers potential funding for UNMC investigators.

 

SPAdmin Tips

  • Notify SPAdmin if you intend to apply for Recovery funding
  • Complete applications as early as possible to avoid heavy traffic and possible Grants.gov server delays
    • SPAdmin cannot guarantee successful submission of applications completed on due dates
    • Whereas the NIH has accommodated late submissions due to Grants.gov server delays at previous deadlines, the NIH has indicated it will not accept late submissions for Recovery funding, due to time constraints
  • Contact SPAdmin if you are not familiar with UNMC’s grantsERA submission system and would like to schedule training
    • UNMC uses grantsERA to submit applications electronically to the NIH.
    • Caution: Downloading application packages directly from Grants.gov or working on applications in Adobe creates technical problems during the submission process. Solution: Always download a new application package in grantsERA, and do not copy previously submitted applications.
