COVID-19 Grant Support

Dec 19

Ikaso supported the state’s application for a large COVID-19 grant and established a reporting process for monthly updates to the CDC

The Challenge

Rapidly develop an application for a large CDC grant to enhance the state’s COVID-19 testing, contact tracing, outreach, and reporting capabilities.

The Outcome

Our team developed reporting tools to track performance and funds usage. We created and implemented a data collection process to develop monthly reports to the CDC. With the urgency of the CDC’s reporting deadlines, our team completed these steps in two weeks.

Our team also built executive level dashboards and forged efficient processes to gather the monthly data from busy state personnel.

Values-Centered Approach

Our team relied on the value of resilience when approaching this project. State staff were stretched thin with COVID-19 responsibilities. To support our clients, we rapidly developed a large grant submission and implemented reporting processes under extreme time pressure and evolving federal requirements.

Highlighted Results

2 weeks for large and complex COVID-19 grant workplan and budget submission
2 weeks to develop and roll out a reporting tool and process
5 weeks to develop and roll out executive dashboards
