Recommendations made by reviewers pursuant to § 67.15;
Any recommendations made by the National Advisory Council for Health Care Policy, Research, and Evaluation, as applicable;
The appropriateness of the budget;
The extent to which the research proposal and the fiscal plan provide assurance that effective use will be made of grant funds;
The demonstrated business management capability of the applicant;
The demonstrated competence and skill of the staff, especially the senior personnel, in light of the scope of the project;
The probable usefulness of the results of the project for dealing with national health care issues, policies, and programs; and
The degree to which AHCPR-announced priorities or purposes are being addressed.
Disposition. On the basis of the evaluation of the application as provided in paragraph (a) of this section, the Administrator shall: give consideration for funding, defer for a later decision, pending receipt of additional information, or give no further consideration for funding, to any application for a grant under this subpart; except that the Administrator may not fund an application which has not been recommended for further consideration as a result of peer review in accordance with § 67.15. A recommendation against further consideration shall not preclude reconsideration, if the application is revised, responding to issues and questions raised during the review, and resubmitted for peer review at a later date.
