The MAI grantees that will use these instruments are community-based organizations (CBOs) and minority serving educational institutions (MSIs) that serve high-risk minority populations with the goal of preventing substance abuse and HIV & viral hepatitis (VH) transmission through integrated prevention services and referrals to treatment as needed. The Quarterly Progress Report is intended to standardize and facilitate quarterly progress reporting required from all grantees as part of their grant agreements. By providing a standard online instrument for collecting information on granteesâ quarterly activities, accomplishments, and challenges, SAMHSA aims to reduce the burden of this quarterly reporting requirement on the grantees, assist the government project officers (PO) in monitoring the granteesâ performance, and help identify any technical assistance needs in a timely fashion.
