Summary of the data is presented using frequencies and percentages of grant submissions and awards vis-à-vis MRS sought mechanism of funding, recruitment cohorts, and MRS periods (before and after it became mandatory) and bar chart graphics. We initially tested separately in a univariate manner using Chi-Square or Fisher Exact tests [In a mutually exclusive iterative process, we also tested cohort effects and MRS period (optional vs. mandatory). To accommodate the effects of multiple applications per ESI, additional analyses used conditional logistic regression principles to test for these effects using ESI as a cluster variable. Results are visually demonstrated using odds ratio graphs. Generally, for these graphs (c.f.,
