BJA leadership has not requested that PDMP TTAC staff members review progress reports during this reporting period, nor have the reports been made available for review. When the reports are provided, PDMP TTAC staff members will review them to identify common grantee needs and use the information gathered to develop a more effective TTA delivery strategy. In the meantime, the PDMP TTAC staff continually draws on its relationships and experiences with PDMPs to identify new technical assistance delivery strategies.

Part of the technical assistance that the PDMP TTAC team has provided to PDMPs over the years has been assistance with grantee data collection and reporting requirements for BJA performance measures. PDMP TTAC staff members did not receive any requests from PDMP grantees for assistance with performance measure reporting during this reporting period.

The PDMP TTAC team regularly coordinates conference calls for PDMP administrators to connect and discuss issues, such as system enhancements, technical assistance, and promising practices. Below is a listing of some of the conference call that PDMP TTAC staff members facilitated and participated:
