How NIAID Is Spending the Stimulus Money

Introduction
At the Institute level, NIAID is using its $1.12 billion in stimulus funds to the best advantage for its extramural investigators.
NIAID must spend all stimulus funds by September 2010 and spent most of it in FY 2009. This money comes with special requirements -- for more information read What You Need to Do if You Get Stimulus Funds.
Investigator-Initiated Research Project Grants
In FY 2009, more than 75 percent of ARRA money went to unsolicited research project grants that were submitted for funding in FY 2008 or FY 2009 but didn't receive it.
We funded research that could generate meaningful results for all Specific Aims within two years, so we did not use stimulus funds for the following types of applications:
- Clinical trials.
- Applications with Specific Aims that can't be accomplished within two years, e.g., most epidemiology studies.
Because the funds must stimulate the U.S. economy, ARRA money went to domestic grants.
Grants for New and Early-Stage Investigators
In FY 2009, NIAID funded new and early-stage investigators for four or five years from our regular appropriation. Read more in Opportunities for NIAID Applicants and Don't Confuse Stimulus Money With Our FY 2009 Budget.
Supplements, Contracts, and Intramural
We used very little money for contracts or intramural, and we funded some supplements.
We will likely fund more supplements in FY 2010 -- see NIAID Supplements Through the Economic Recovery Act for more information.
Funding Range for ARRA Awards
We removed all FY 2009 paylines from this section on August 26, 2009. You can view them at Archive of Final NIAID ARRA Paylines for FY 2009 on the Archive of Final NIAID Paylines by Fiscal Year archive page.
We will update this section when we get information for FY 2010.
