Quality Assurance

MiCorps Documents

Programs that are either engaging in MiCorps funded monitoring projects or applying for MiCorps membership, are required to sumbit Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPPs). MiCorps staff will review and comment on submitted QAPPs and, if acceptable, will aprove them for inclusion with program application materials. MiCorps staff ask that all program leaders follow the QAPP Guidance linked below when developing a QAPP. An outline to use for starting the QAPP and the staff's review checklist are also included for your use.
