– $4.0 million estimated additional funding for Down syndrome research as a result of the stimulus funding under ARRA across a two-year timeframe until September 30, 2010.

**2010:
– $6.0 million estimated additional funding for Down syndrome research as a result of the stimulus funding under ARRA across a two-year timeframe until September 30, 2010.

The addition of stimulus funds to NIH budget and Down syndrome research do not represent a significant net change in the amount of Down syndrome research funding to NIH budget.
