The Narrative

This section of the report provides an opportunity for the collaborative to share
information about the collaborative’s progress based on the work plans that were
submitted and provide information on any additional significant work that was not
included in the original work plan. In section D of the guidelines are a list of
“evaluation” and other questions. Please respond to each of these questions in your
narrative as they apply to your work in the first year of planning.
