AHRQ is aware that there may be problems for organizations in submitting grant applications due to the extensive winter storms.  AHRQ will follow the usual AHRQ practice for such circumstances.   Electronic and paper applications submitted late because of weather problems must include a cover letter noting the reasons for the delay.  It is not necessary to get permission in advance for weather-related delays in grant application submissions.  The delay should not exceed the time period that an applicant organization/institution is closed.
