The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is driving more than just job creation at UNC. It's also driving ground-breaking research in a number of areas across campus. UNC-based researchers have been notified of nearly 60 grants or awards since March. This will bring nearly $20 million to our university, and thus also our local community. This is in addition to the five-year, $17.5 million grant for the new UNC-based Energy Frontier Research Center.
To document the impact of this stimulus funding, UNC News Services has created a new website that profiles select projects. Check it out at:
