ARRA
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 presents
opportunities for companies to access funds for:
- Electronic Health Records
- Health Information Exchanges (HIE)
- Expansion of broadband telecommunications in rural, unserved, and
underserved areas
Each ARRA program specifies eligibility requirements, usage rules,
and requirements for management of awarded funds. Our professionals have
the crucial combination of cross-industry and cross-functional expertise
needed for government contracting and grant administration. Learn about
