$1.2bn will be spent on "shovel-ready" research projects

The Department of Energy will spend $1.2bn of the $1.6bn in research funding provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which became law in February. Most of the money for science from President Barak Obama's stimulus package for 2009 will be spent on accelerating the progress of existing "shovel-ready" research projects and lab construction programs.

I think that the "shovel-ready" aspect of these projects is ideal, considering people would like to see results from the stimulus packages that is coming from their tax dollars.

But hopefully good choices will be made, regardless of when the projects actually begin.
