American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding provided an unprecedented opportunity for faculty at colleges and universities to receive funding for critical initiatives and novel research areas. These additional funds were accompanied by new administrative requirements.
The purpose of this survey was to document the administrative impact of ARRA on each institutional member of the Federal Demonstration Partnership ‐ ranging from the resources needed to track and understand the new ARRA requirements to the amount of time, money and effort needed to ensure that our institutions comply with quarterly reporting ARRA obligations.
