How does AHRQ require documentation for in-kind support shown in the budgets as an institutional support?
By signing the Face Page (see Item 13 and the signature block in the bottom right corner), the official of the applicant institution commits the institution to what has been stated in the application concerning in-kind resources shown in the budgets. That signature suffices to bind the institution legally to what is stated in the application. If the signing official wants more detail about what she/he is committing the institution for, that detail should be explicit in the budget pages (Form Pages 4 and 5 and the supporting budget justification pages). It often helps in the review process to include a letter signed by appropriate senior officials of the institution stating their strong support for the project. Such a letter helps to communicate to the review panel the commitment of the institution to the project.
