Stimulus: What Are We Getting for the Money?
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, a/k/a the federal stimulus package, contained nearly $22 billion in research funds, much of which has already been entrusted to public and private colleges and universities.
In the interests of transparency and accountability, those colleges and universities today joined together and announced a new Web site, “ScienceWorksForUS.org,” which hosts a vast database that details where those funds have gone.
Users can break down grants by state (here’s the page for Virginia), and then further by granting agency. There are also links to stories and press releases about the grants and some of the projects they fund. and you can sign up for e-mail updates.
It’s a good way for Americans to check up on their investments.
