Abstract:
NSF describes how it intends to implement the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Dr. Arden L. Bement, Jr., Director of the National Science Foundation, delivered a speech recently to employees on how the agency intends to implement the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
In his remarks, Dr. Bement said that NSF's portion of the ARRA ($3 billion) is "sorely needed to ensure that America remains a leader in science and engineering research and education. That investment of 3 billion dollars will have an immediate impact on investigators, post-docs, graduate and undergraduate students, and teachers throughout the nation. NSF funding now helps to support nearly 200,000 individuals every year."
In his remarks, Dr. Bement described the rapid timeline and extensive planning under way at NSF to implement the ARRA:
