The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) gives a total of $10.4 billion to the National Institutes of Health that we will need to expend by September 2010. There have been many policy guidance documents posted in recent weeks.  We know NIH staff members have many questions, and we are ready to answer them!  Please e-mail your questions to: OER-ARRA@mail.nih.gov before and during the Q&A session and we will address as many as possible.
