American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) was signed into law by President Obama on February 17th, 2009. The act contains many provisions important to universities and the State of Texas. Information regarding the status and details of ARRA funding is provided through the Web Sites recovery.gov, grants.gov, and through federal agency Web Sites. On this page we have provided a list of resources to information about ARRA funding, including a "working document" intended to provide a comprehensive overview of ARRA grants available to our universities. The document will be updated regularly, so please check back often for updates.
