Continuing our analysis of ARRA grantees initiated back in July, below are some of the features of the latest batch of ARRA awards. As of early September, over $108M were allocated to 361 researchers located at one of the six institutions we currently cover.

Table 1	First, the distribution of funds to the six universities (Table 1 and 2). As with the July awards, UCLA received the largest total amount of ARRA funds, and the Scripps Research Institute (La Jolla) still retains the highest per capita financing, with $410K per principal investigator (PI) vs. $343 for UCLA. In contrast , Stanford and Caltech switch places, with Caltech now in third place and Stanford dropping to fifth rank, again on a per-PI basis. UCSD comes in last, as before.
Figure 1	As with the July crop, UCLA still comes in first with the largest number of grants awarded per recipient PI (Fig 1). Scripps makes a good showing with a strong second place, whereas Stanford drops one notch to third place.
Table 2	Table 2 lists the specific primary research topics of the recipient PIs. As with the July data, topics associated with gene expression analysis, immunology, neurobiology and computational biology are strongly represented.
