Delivery improvement grant narrative helper
A paste-ready grant narrative and measurement plan that makes your delivery improvements clear, scorable, and defensible to reviewers.
What it is
This is a fill-in narrative backbone you can paste directly into a Delivery Improvement Grant application, plus a simple measurement approach that favors clear definitions, ownership, and believable evidence.
Who it is for
Program, operations, and data leaders who need to explain one workflow problem, one plan, and measurable impact, without overpromising or turning the grant into a giant “new system” project.
A paste-ready narrative template that forces clarity on the problem, root causes, future state, owners, risks, and sustainability.
A practical metric menu and simple data plan (definitions, metric owner, source of truth, and lightweight quality checks).
A 90-day milestones table that shows momentum, “done” evidence, and risks to watch in the first 12 weeks.
What you will walk away with
FAQs
Do I need new software to use this?
No. This guide is built around workflow clarity, ownership, and measurement. Tools can come later, after the rules are clear and the first fixes are working.
How many metrics should we commit to in the narrative?
Keep it small. The template pushes you toward 1 to 2 core metrics you can track monthly and explain plainly.
What if our data is messy or incomplete today?
Start with an honest baseline, even if imperfect. Then define what counts, set a time window, and tighten quality with simple checks so the numbers get steadier each month.
What metrics work best for intake, referrals, and delivery?
Use measures you can pull consistently, like time to first response, intake completion rate, referral confirmation rate, duplicate rate, and reporting cycle time. Pick what you can sustain, not what sounds impressive.
How do we address privacy and security in a way reviewers trust?
State a simple minimum-necessary approach, limit access by role (least privilege), and include a documented incident process, including vendor incidents when relevant.
What “evidence” should we promise so the plan feels real?
Promise tangible artifacts: a workflow map that matches reality, signed metric definitions, a baseline report draft, a short SOP, pilot results, and an early dashboard shared with leadership.
