Recovery Act grants open door to discoveries at Vanderbilt
By Nicholas S. Zeppos, Chancellor, Vanderbilt University
December 1, 2009
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, better known to many as the Recovery Act, dedicated more than $20 billion to essential scientific, engineering and medical research, of which Vanderbilt has received more than $79 million so far. Thanks to this critical infusion of resources, Vanderbilt has been able to continue many promising avenues of investigation, as well as begin research that will lead to new technologies and industries in years to come.
Vanderbilt is pleased to be a partner in a national effort to demonstrate the impact of Recovery Act funding. The Web site www.ScienceWorksForUS.org will track Recovery Act research funds to universities and federal labs across the country. These funds are already having a significant impact on Vanderbilt and Middle Tennessee. Vanderbilt is committed to the effective, transparent stewardship of these investments, and I'd like to share some of the important work they are funding.
