Grant program announcements for opportunities available through the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009, more commonly referred to as the "stimulus funding" package, are being announced daily. Sponsored Projects staff are reviewing these opportunities as we receive them and are forwarding the information to the appropriate departments via email. However, given our small staff, the huge influx of information, and the short time period between application announcements and deadline dates, I'd also like to alert you to three web sites you can access to check on stimulus funding opportunities.
The first is the official federal web site at Grants.gov, which has created a separate category for ARRA grant announcements, organized by deadline date. To visit this web site, click here.
Several Sponsored Projects Offices at larger universities have dedicated staff to track, compile and upload information regarding ARRA funding to their web pages. These universities graciously have offered to share their web sites with other universities. Two sites that are particularly helpful are:
The University of South Carolina, which has developed a searchable database by program category. Visit the USC web site.
The San Diego State University Research Foundation has developed a comprehensive ARRA web site that includes virtually everything you could possibly want to know regarding stimulus funding. Scroll down the web page to find information on current funding opportunities, organized by funding agency. Visit the SDSU-RF web site.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning stimulus or other funding opportunities, please contact the Sponsored Projects Office at (408) 554-4408 or e-mail Linda Campbell. As a reminder, please contact the office as soon as you decide to prepare an application. The sooner you are added to the calendar, the easier it will be for the office to coordinate proposal submissions.
