> (e.g., Medicaid expansions, subsidy programs for small businesses and 
> individuals who otherwise would not be able to afford insurance, or 
> private-market health insurance reforms).

> - Relevance and timeliness of the project to inform and advance health 
> reform implementation efforts. 
> - Uniqueness of the project and its intent to address important and 
> possibly overlooked aspects of health care reform.
