President Obama signed the stimulus bill (sorry I didn't blog when the senate voted it out, but hey it was all over the news...). So now what.
Implementation, that's what.
Here's what we know, or more likely, what we DON'T know:
1. Research. Each agency (see below) is scrambling to establish guidelines regarding the stimulus dollars. Some agencies, we've heard, believe that they have enough proposals in the queue or that received meritorious marks (yet no money to fund) that will comply with the stimulus goals. Some agencies may require RFP's, etc. So we're anxiously awaiting instructions. NIH is holding a meeting today so we might get a sense there. All agencies will need to get the money out fast. And keep a separate accounting of how the funds are expended. So any institution that receives said funds will need to keep this in mind. Stay tuned.
2. State stabilization funds. This is now a state issue. Governors across the country are looking at all that is associated with accepting these funds. Texas included. What we're interested in is this: If Texas agrees to accept funding that can be used for education purposes, how much will be allocated to higher education and for what purposes? Will keep you posted on that.
If anybody hears anything regarding how the federal research dollars may be spent at a particular agency, then email me. We're in the "fact finding" stage. Or is that RUMOR gathering stage?
