Coaching update
Milestone Description

PRC TTA coaching staff initiated outreach via e-mail correspondence to this grant site's designated point of contact to coordinate and schedule a conference call. A call was held on March 26,2015 with the Massachusetts team for the purpose of identifying their training and technical assistance needs and determining how the PRC can best support this site's implementation of their grant. During this call, the PRC TA coaches reviewed the key program aspects of the grant and asked clarifying questions about site-specific priorities and implementation challenges. This needs assessment process will help the PRC TTA coaching staff to better understand the range of proposed activities and to identify core technical assistance needs shared across multiple sites. This process will also inform the development of a TTA plan for the BJA FY '14 PREA demonstration grant sites. The PRC TTA coaches also described the range of materials and support available to the agency.

Other Relevant Information

I had a conference call with Rey and his conference planning team this morning. He indicated that he has tried to reach out to both the BJA PREA Management Office and the BJA Grant Program Manager wanting to share with them the progress of the grant and to get their guidance related to the approval of the content of their conference. I indicated to Rey this morning that I would pass this along again to the PRC leadership and ask them to connect with BJA and indicate that the agency is wanting to talk with them.
