“This training was invaluable to me and the hands-on workshops couldn’t have been more helpful! The training helped me understand how NSP activities should be reported and associated in DRGR; and subsequently, provided me with a great deal of clarity in the reconciliation process. Overall, because of this instruction, I left the training being able to create a road map toward NSP Closeout! Thank you!” – Los Angeles 2018 NSP Workshop Participant
