Special Reports

Washington, Aug. 12 - Your third subscriber-only special report is now available!

As the federal government continues to refine the regulations governing the use and reporting of Recovery Act grant funds, the Economic Recovery Grants Center will be issuing a series of reports and articles covering the latest developments from the Office of Management and Budget and the other federal bodies that shape grants-management policy.

In your first subscriber-only special report, the Economic Recovery Grants Center takes a look at the spectrum of grant funding appropriated by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA; Pub. L. 111-5). The report is divided into eight parts, each dedicated to a specific category of grant funding. Inside, you’ll find need-to-know details about a range of formula and discretionary grants, including established programs and some new ones that have never before received funding.

Even before he took office last week, President Barack Obama began a vigorous campaign to mobilize support for a massive economic stimulus initiative to combat a deepening recession that has already driven the unemployment rate sharply higher and is threatening even worse economic pain for millions of Americans.
