Federal Funding Disclosure

The Stevens Amendment is a federal law found in P.L. 115-141, Division H, Title V, Section 505 that requires funding information to be included on all projects or programs using federal funds. It is intended to provide transparency for taxpayers and ensure federally funded research and work are properly credited.
