To enhance the quality and overall public benefit of the Network, EPA proposes to collect information from the EIEN grantees about how they intend to ensure quality in their projects and the environmental outcomes and outputs from their projects. The proposed Quality Assurance Report is intended to provide a simple means for grant recipients to describe how quality will be addressed throughout their projects. The Administrative Terms and Conditions that accompany the grant provide guidance on how to prepare the Quality Assistance Report. As a stipulation of their award, grant recipients are to submit the report within ninety days of grant award. Grantees are currently required to submit semi-annual progress reports as a stipulation of their award. In these reports, grantees outline project goals, activities required to meet these goals, and outputs and outcomes of activities to date.
