Issued by

Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)
Purpose
This Notice informs AHRQ grantees of instructions for processing FFRs for grant awards that were transitioned to subaccounts in the Payment Management System (PMS) through a non-competing continuation award. When this was done, the original single project period/competitive segment was broken into two shorter competitive segments and the award issued in FY2014 became the final year of the first competitive segment and required final Federal Financial Report (FFR) expenditure data.

Background

Guide Notice NOT-HS-15-009 referenced above, advised AHRQ grantees that AHRQ would not be transferring unexpended funds from pooled accounts to subaccounts and requested that AHRQ grant recipients awarded under expanded authorities fully draw down all funds in the PMS pooled account before drawing down funds from the PMS subaccount. AHRQ has discovered that grantees may experience situations where their FFRs appear to have a negative unobligated balance (U/B) since AHRQ did not transfer the unobligated balances from pooled accounts to the subsequent subaccounts (see example below).
