Core Monitoring Guide (CMG)

The Core Monitoring Guide (CMG) is an essential tool designed to help reviewers conduct on-site or desk monitoring reviews of a grant recipient's key activities. It provides a structured framework for assessing compliance with the grant agreement as well as federal and state regulations. The CMG is also a valuable resource for grant recipients, helping them understand what to expect during a monitoring review. While the CMG ensures consistency in the review process, it also allows for flexibility, recognizing that not all core activities, objectives, or indicators will apply to every provider under review.
