Story Behind the Curve
Jan 2022: With impact numbers for slots preserved and created being aligned with project or grant closeout, the numbers from 2021 appear lower than previous years. This is due to a large grant closeout reported at the end of 2020, and two grants that were underway in 2021 running over into 2022. Those slot impact numbers will be available after 4/30/22.
