At Duke University, our highly regarded scientific, medical and engineering research endeavors annually receive hundreds of millions of dollars in federal grant support.

Duke is well positioned to participate in the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) which aims to invest $15 billion in activities that promote job growth and retention while also promoting scientific advancement.

This information site offers announcements, documents, links and other resources to help Duke faculty and staff understand our institutional participation in ARRA. Faculty members who intend to submit grants are encouraged to monitor this site for updates and further communications regarding Duke support and requirements.

These items are available on the site:
