Directions: In preparation for the Progress Update, grantees will receive an electronic form four weeks in advance of the grantee interview to submit their responses and associated documentation. Grantees must submit their completed form (and upload any related supporting documentation) two weeks in advance of the grantee interview. Where applicable, grantees should upload documentation that supports the narrative response (e.g., public notice to stakeholders, guidance documents, sample monitoring report, media interviews, speeches, meeting agenda, etc.). Narrative responses should be brief and in bullet form, aligned with grantee goals and priorities.
