@EOKENAVA @sarahknoppA6 -- why is this blocked right now?
@sarahknoppA6 - Prior to Sarah's vacation, she mentioned working with Julius and MH on this. Hopefully we can get some update from Sarah tomorrow
@lucasmbrown-usds A6 and Nava had received notices last month from MicroHealth that they had been waiting on additional ODC funding for these licenses. I let Julius know before I left for vacation that we had a blocker on this, but we have not at this time received any update from MH nor Julius.
Waiting on feedback from MH on funding
@andycochran @rishalee Based on Andy's comment in Slack that "consent forms, translation/localization, and API integration (e.g. importing contacts). And cap out at lower interaction amounts," would you re-assess the core features needed & what level licenses would provide them? I'm hoping this will identify if a more affordable level gets us most of what we need so we can go forward. Or determine the price point is prohibitive & figure out another direction. Thank you!
We have confirmed a direction with Nava leadership for research tools, and have a recommendation for how to handle participant management and research incentives disbursement to best accomplish program objectives.
Separate the concerns of participant management and incentives disbursement
Options explored: | MH-procured Ethnio | MH-procured Tremendous + other manual tools & processes | Nava's Ethnio + MH-procured Tremendous | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Participant management | ✅ | ❌ — Manual spreadsheet management requires additional processes to secure PII | ✅ | |
Incentives disbursement | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | |
Scheduling | ✅ | ❓ — Manual process (email coordination, manually created Zoom meetings) | ✅ | |
Screeners & Intercepts | ✅ | ❓ — via Google Forms | ✅ | |
Consent Forms | ✅ | ❓ — via Google Forms | ✅ | |
Summary | ❌ — Everything needed but cost-prohibitive | ❌ — Addition manual overhead & potential PII risks | ✅ |
