U-M and other leading public and private research universities today announced the launch of ScienceWorksForUS, an initiative that will highlight the scientific research and related activities that have been made possible by the ARRA, also known as the stimulus.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) jump starts a new wave of discovery and innovation emerging from the country’s universities. In an era of fierce global economic competitiveness, the ARRA will speed new advances in engineering, medicine and the basic sciences that will help society find answers in such fields as energy, health care delivery and information technology. As of October 23, 2009, the University of Michigan has received grants totaling $197.6 million in Recovery Act funding, making our research program one of the largest recipients of ARRA funding.
