^*The ratio of grant support generated per dollar invested reflects the present value in 2006 of the dollars invested in the past and the grant support generated in the past. The present value is calculated as Cx (1 + r)^{^}t where C is the value of the investment made or grant generated, r is the cost of capital, and t is the time (in years) since the investment was made or the grant was generated. Values greater than 1.00 indicate that more grant support was generated than dollars invested. Values less than 1.00 indicate that less grant support was generated than dollars invested. [Alternatively, a value of 2.73 indicates that the present value of grant support generated was $2.73 for every $1.00 invested.]
