Source:  AHRQ Grant's On-Line Database, RFA HS-02-010, accessed April 29, 2005; PFQ documents provided by AHRQ staff, including funding spreadsheet provided by AHRQ grants office, received October 23, 2006.

1. All grants started September 29, 2002. The last was to end September 2006. Many have received no cost extensions.

2. Status was determined from an October 2006 funding spreadsheet from AHRQ's Office of Grants Management. For the grants with end-dates of September 2006, "completed" indicates that AHRQ expects the project to end on time, and "active-no cost extension" indicates that AHRQ has given a no-cost extension or is reviewing a request for a no-cost extension. In situations where information provided by PI interviews on project status differed from the report from the Office of Grants Management, we deferred to the information provided by AHRQ.
