2025-2026 Service Provider Grantees

People

  • Students: Residents of the state of Maryland who are in the 12th grade and younger and have received any grant-funded or grant-enhanced service(s) from your organization. While this funding is intended to enhance services available to public school students, private school and homeschool students who receive services should also be counted. When direct services are provided to caregivers, report the students of those caregivers.
  • Caregivers: Parents, legal guardians, or other direct caretakers of a student who receive grant-funded or grant-enhanced service(s) from your organization.
  • Family members: Caregivers plus any other family members who live with a student but are not students themselves and receive grant-funded or grant-enhanced service(s) from your organization.
  • School staff: Individuals employed by or working in your jurisdiction’s school system. When training school staff, do not count the students they work with.

Services, Schools, and Students Served

  • Schoolwide / gradewide services are a subset of Tier 1 services that are provided (not just offered) to the entire school or grade. They are typically psycho-educational in nature. Student enrollment for the entire grade or school can be taken from the Maryland School Report Cards. These students should be counted in metric 1a and relevant Tier 1 Custom Metrics.
  • All other services are all services that do not meet the criteria for schoolwide / gradewide and can be from any tier.

Within a given report period…

  • If only schoolwide / gradewide services are provided, 1b will 0.
  • If only all other services are provided, 1a and 1b will be the same.
  • If both schoolwide / gradewide and all other services are provided, 1b will be less than 1a.

Unduplicated: Most metrics are unduplicated, meaning that within that specific metric (row), each individual is only counted once during the life of the grant: during the first report period in which they are eligible to be counted. Individuals may be counted in a later report period for a different unduplicated metric if they have not already been counted in that metric.

  • For metrics not labeled unduplicated (5 & 6), an individual or event can be counted up to once per report period. If they complete multiple of the same assessment or satisfaction survey within a report period, use their most recent assessment to determine the outcome.

Metric 1: Total students served

  • 1a = All students served that report period (unduplicated).
    • All students served should also be reported in the tiered custom metrics. 10a + 20a + 30a should always be at least 1a; it may be larger than 1a if some students received services across multiple tiers in the same report period.
  • 1b = All students served through targeted / all other services that report period; subtract any students who were served by only schoolwide/gradewide from 1a.
  • 1c = From the students served through targeted / all other services that report period (1b), subtract any who had been reported in the prior grant year's M&D reports. 1c applies only to grantees who were funded for both 2024-2025 and 2025-2026.

Metrics 2, 3, 4: Demographics

  • If you are providing schoolwide / gradewide services, each demographic metric should sum to 1b.
  • If you are not providing schoolwide / gradewide services, each demographic metric should sum to 1a.
  • Each student should only be counted once per demographic metric. For instance, if a student reports multiple racial/ethnic identities, report them in 2h (Two or more) and no other race/ethnicity metrics.

Schools

  • Count all schools that the students who receive services attend and/or where school staff that you have trained work. Do not count other schools, such as schools where you have had planning meetings or done preparation and collaboration but have not served students or trained staff yet.
  • Even though this is an unduplicated metric, count each school each report period. The excel formulas will unduplicate.
  • Schools can receive schoolwide / gradewide services, all other services, or both.
  • For report period 2, we may add an area for you specify which grades received services for schoolwide / gradewide.

Tips for submitting M&D reports:

  • Due dates
    • Report period 1 (July 1 - September 30, 2025): November 1, 2025
    • Report period 2 (October 1 - December 31, 2025): February 1, 2026
    • Report period 3 (January 1 - March 31, 2026): May 1, 2026
    • Report period 4 (April 1 - June 30, 2026): August 1, 2026
  • Always use the newest version of your M&D template which will be provided by the CHRC or your CSP prior to the due date. You will know you are using the correct version if the cells for that report period are highlighted in blue. 
  • For grantees working with CSPs (Allegany, Anne Arundel, Caroline, Dorchester, Garrett, Harford, Howard, Kent, Queen Anne's, Somerset, St. Mary's, Talbot, and Worcester counties), submit your M&D to your CSP staff for review and submission by their requested deadline.
  • For grantees not working with CSPs (Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Calvert, Carroll, Cecil, Charles, Frederick, Montgomery, Prince George's, Washington, and Wicomico counties), submit your M&D directly to the CHRC portal.

NCSMH Evaluation Team

  • After submission, the NCSMH evaluation team reviews each M&D to check for accuracy. If your M&D needs revisions, we will email you listing the revisions and ask you to make them on the version of your M&D that we send in that email. When submitting revisions, always update the attestation date to the date you resubmit.
  • If you receive a email requesting revisions, please remember that:
    • Most grantees need at least one set of revisions before a given M&D is finalized.
    • We are not focused on your progress toward your goals; we are focused on making sure the data we receive from you is as accurate as possible. Any statements or questions we make about the number of students you served reflect inquiries about potential inaccuracies, not your progress.
  • Contact us anytime at BlueprintEval@som.umaryland.edu and a member of our team will get back to you ASAP. We are also available to schedule a meeting to discuss revisions or questions.
