EPRI is available for downloading at the AHRQ Web Site (www.ahrq.gov/research/epri/). While EPRI can be downloaded at no cost, it is copyrighted and cannot be re-sold.

The application and database are packaged into a single ZIP file. The ZIP file contains:

• The EPRI source code (including a Microsoft Visual Studio project file).
• The compiled Web application.
