There has been discussion of 2 sources of money for the program: 1) the "flu supplement" for 2010. This, however, is one year money with the possibility of getting converted to no year money. 2) The other source is to carve it out of the 2011 budget and also add it as truly new money into the 2012 budget. I have never heard serious discussion about using unexpended ARRA funding, but then again that does not mean that they are not talking about it at meetings that I have not attended. Tony Anthony S.

I got a phone call from Zeke about this a couple of days ago and he said that Rahm had suggested in a brfing that this program be partially funded by NIH ARRA remainders. Have you heard anything like that? I had Colleen develop a table that shows ARRA obligations, commitments and planned obligations in order to show that we have a balance of something on the order of $1.57.
