This template guides HMRF grants through the key stages of data collection and CQI to help plan ahead and train staff. Grant teams should regularly review and update their plan as needed to reflect changes in program operations and service delivery.
This page includes information and tools to support HMRF grant recipients in using nFORM and conducting continuous quality improvement (CQI). If you have any questions after reviewing these resources, you may request technical assistance by emailing nFORMCQITA@mathematica-mpr.com.
Please contact your grant organization's nFORM site administrator(s) for help with log in issues including resetting passwords and reactivating accounts. Site administrators should leave a voicemail for Mathematica at 844-619-6841 if they are also unable to log into nFORM.
