</span></font><font size=2><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Federal agencies have
begun posting information on how they plan to allocate funding received under
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), including in some
cases how they will monitor and report their actual spending. Below are
the web site links established so far. Note that NIH has posted the most
details, including an ARRA funding announcement for Challenge Grants and
special terms and conditions for ARRA awards. As expected these special terms
and conditions contain the extensive reporting requirements described in the
ARRA and in OMB's guidance to agencies, as we reported last week.<br>
