Economic Recovery
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) includes funding for many federal agency programs that support college and university activities, particularly in the areas of infrastructure and instrumentation; education and training; and research. This site has been created to provide you with current information relative to ARRA opportunities and links directly to webpages for the federal agencies highlighting its ARRA activities, as required by the legislation.
We have designated four areas that will contain information about opportunities for our campuses. They are: 1) Infrastructure and Instrumentation Opportunities; 2) Education and Training Opportunities; 3) Research Opportunities and 4) Other Grant Opportunities.
Also posted are links to the ARRA legislation and their summaries, links to individual federal agencies webpages related to the ARRA, the link to Governor Paterson's Economic Recovery Task Force and initiatives site, and NYSTAR's Economic Recovery webpage.
A third section provides information for students and families about student aid opportunities.
