The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 is injecting approximately $19 billion for Healthcare IT.  The main goal of this initiative is to encourage healthcare professionals to implement IT projects that prevent medical mistakes, provide better patient care, promote preventative care, evaluate the most cost-effective healthcare treatments and drive cost-saving efficiencies.

GRANTS: ARRA & MORE

The primary way to access funds for healthcare initiatives is through the grant process.   For a listing of grants being offered by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, as well as other federal organizations please visit Grants.gov.

While just looking at federal funding programs may net you opportunities, it is equally important to check for funding from a state or local level, as each state was awarded ARRA funds to use at their descretion.

The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services: Office of Extramural Research & the National Institute of Health have provided a great starting place for your grant writing needs.
