The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has shared communication ODPANN 25-095 and its accompanying attachments. 

This communication advises stakeholders of a change to the Cycle 3, Year 1 (C3Y1) Quality Assessment & Improvement (QA&I) Tools. The following questions from the QA&I C3Y1 Tools have been removed due to a high volume of stakeholder inquiries related to evaluation expectations:

  • AE Question #1 – The AE engages in activities, or has a written policy, to improve racial equity performance.
  • SCO Question #4 – The SCO engages in activities, or has a written policy, to improve racial equity performance.
  • Provider Question #4 – The Provider engages in activities, or has a written policy, to improve racial equity performance.
