- To remind project directors/principal investigators (PD/PIs) and grantee institutions that AHRQ fully expects Recovery Act grantees to expend project funds in a timely and expeditious manner in accordance with the expected pace of research;
- To remind grantees that all Recovery Act expenditures remain subject to terms and conditions on the Notice of Award, including the AHRQ-HHS Standard Terms and Conditions for ARRA Awards (see http://www.ahrq.gov/fund/arraterms.htm) and all referenced regulations and OMB Circulars;
- To notify grantees that AHRQ Recovery Act grants will not be issued under Expanded Authorities; and
