Although local funding units are responsible for submitting all required information to the MIDC, we recognize that courts play a crucial role in the implementation and demonstration of compliance with standards. As such, some of these suggestions are directed at courts in the hopes of providing some guidance about this partnership.  \nThe program reporting template has been revised for FY23, including the following:  \n􀂾 Simplified structure that only requires users to answer certain questions once for the entire system rather than multiple times across tabs.  \n􀂾 Elimination of Circuit Court arraignment questions.  \n􀂾 Addition of four new questions that address standards and other best practices.  \n􀂾 Revision of the final three questions on the District Court form.  \n􀂾 Minor revisions to wording throughout the reporting template that help clarify the precise data points requested.  \nPlease reach out to the MIDC’s Research Unit with any questions. We are happy to help brainstorm creative solutions to any obstacles in the compliance reporting process. You can reach us at:  \nJonah Siegel, Research Director  \n[siegelj2@michigan.gov](siegelj2@michigan.gov)  \nNeil Weinberg, Research Analyst  \n[weinbergn@michigan.gov](weinbergn@michigan.gov)  \nFor financial reporting questions, please reach out to Rebecca Mack, Grants Director, at [MackR2@michigan.gov](MackR2@michigan.gov).  \nLocal funding units are required to complete and submit a quarterly program report to the MIDC atthe end of every reporting period in accordance with the dates specified in their grant agreement. The program report asks for some information that is housed within the court, and local funding units may need to partner with courts for assistance in completing the template. This document provides guidance on how to track and report the major data points in the program report, many of which require some sort of daily input. At the end of the quarter, you will enter this information into EGrAMS, which can be accessed through [https://egrams](https://egrams)[mi.com/MIDC/user/login.aspx](mi.com/MIDC/user/login.aspx).  \nIf you already have a username and password, enter this information in the Login box, otherwise you will need to create an account. If you have trouble creating an account, please contact Deborah Mitchell at [mitchelld20@michigan.gov](mitchelld20@michigan.gov) or 517-643-6875.  \nREPORT TABS  \nThe program report consists of two tabs that apply to all systems, and then one additional tab for each of your District and Circuit Courts.  \nReporting Information Tab  \nThe first tab, Reporting Information, covers basic location and contact information for your system. At the bottom of this tab, please make sure to select every court for which you are reporting.  \nSystem Information Tab  \nThe second tab, System Information, is new as of FY23 and asks broad questions related to the execution of each of the MIDC standards in your system. These questions touch on Standards 1 through 5. Many of these questions were previously on the court-specific forms and are now  \nasked only once for the entire system. The only questions under this tab that require the daily tracking of numbers are the following (Questions 8 and 9):  \nSystem-wide, what was the total number of cases during the reporting period in which  \nindigent defense program funding was used to pay for an investigator?  \nSystem-wide, what was the total number of cases during the reporting period in which  \nindigent defense program funding was used to pay for an expert witness?  \nIndigent defense administrators can track this information in one of three ways, so long as the system tracks consistently across reporting periods so that cases are not missed or doublecounted.  \n􀂾 The first way is to track during the reporting period when the investigator/expert is utiliz","cbCaiqi9gcrANadI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqi9gcrANadI","pdf",1254756,"English","# Program Reporting Instructions\n## FY23 Template Revisions\n## Quarterly Program Report Requirements\n## EGrAMS Access and Login\n## Report Tabs Overview\n## Reporting Information Tab\n## System Information Tab\n## Circuit Court Tab(s)","[{\"question\":\"Who is required to submit the quarterly program report to the MIDC, and when?\",\"answer\":\"Local funding units must complete and submit a quarterly program report to the MIDC at the end of each reporting period, following the dates in their grant agreement.\"},{\"question\":\"How should systems report the total number of cases where indigent defense funding paid for an investigator or an expert?\",\"answer\":\"Track consistently across reporting periods.
