National Institute of Health - NIH
The National Institutes of Health will be receiving $10.4 billion to spend on research activities, scientific instrumentation, and facility improvements. NIH intends "to spend as much as possible" of the stimulus funds in the current fiscal year. Research funds will be distributed in several ways: funding recently submitted grant applications judged to be highly meritorious, but funded; awarding new R01 grants that can make progress within a two-year period; supplementing existing grants either to "competitively expand the scope of current research awards or supplement an existing award with additional support for infrastructure"; and, offering new challenge grants to support cross-cutting research. More information can be found here.
