ORS ARRA-Related Submission Processes

ORS is committed to helping faculty. As more information becomes available from the agencies, our office will adjust processes to best serve the campus research community for the expected influx of submissions.

Revisions: Program Officers are reviewing grants to identify those qualifing for stimulus funding and may be contacting either the Principal Investigator or the Institution.
Supplements - Support for administrative supplements for existing, awarded grants to expand and/or supplement the research related to the original research plan may also be targeted by the agency and/or sought by the PI. Examples of potentially eligible items for supplemental funding may include but are not limited to equipment, extensions for postdocs, summer students, and related projects. If you have not been contacted and are considering administrative supplemental funding, please consult in advance with the designated Grants Management Officer and Program Official.
