ARRA Grant Support

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) is an economic stimulus package that was designed to jumpstart the U.S. economy, create and save millions of jobs, and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges nationally. Funds received under this Act are intended to support these goals, and unprecedented levels of transparency, oversight, and accountability are required for the expenditure of Act dollars.

AOC is immersed in the culture of winning contracts and grants from the Federal Government. Since the announcement of the ARRA in early 2009, we have been assigning teams to work full time with clients applying for ARRA grants. We have the knowledge and expertise not only of the requirements of the Department of Energy and other federal agencies - where we have been winning and managing major projects since 1983 - but with the ARRA grant process as well. AOC has already completed competitive grant applications for hundreds of millions of dollars in ARRA funding. We have the expert knowledge and the team in place to win:

• Red Teams with the proposal and grant winning experience to accurately assess the ARRA criteria and ensure compliance with the grant process
• Proprietary, software-driven production and delivery process specifically tailored to grant applications
• Experience with standard forms, including SF 424, SF 424A, and SF 424C
• Personnel skilled in the online grant application process, including the use of Grants.gov
