Recovery Impact Form

SfN is committed to communicating the scientific and economic impact of Recovery Act grants and is seeking the help of Principal Investigators to accomplish this great task.

Please complete the Recovery Impact form to share how Recovery funds are being deployed in your lab, and their contribution to advancing science and improving health. When reporting, please consider all Recovery funding - both new grants and supplements to existing grants.

*Please note that we ask you to log-in as an SfN member before completing the form, making it easier and faster for you by pulling your member data from our database and also allowing you to save drafts and come back to finish and submit them at another time.

Neuroscience Research and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
