Background Research. As part of their planning activities, many States are currently undertaking studies and other research to determine the best approach for supporting an Exchange. In some States, this research includes evaluating whether or not the State should establish an Exchange, and if so, where it should be housed, how it should be governed, and what approach it will take. For Level One Establishment and Level Two Establishment applicants, background research will only be considered as a Core Area under previous Exchange grants and will not need to be carried forward under the Establishment Cooperative Agreement except to the extent that the State determines more research is needed.
