    (9) The degree to which AHCPR-announced priorities or purposes are

    (b) 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 Sec. 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.
