National Priorities Partnership - Review of Proposed Roster
July 27, 2010 - August 17, 2010

The review period of the proposed National Priorities Partnership roster is now open through August 17, 2010 at 6:00 pm ET. In considering nominees, NQF’s Board of Directors was guided by criteria that were developed to encourage the selection of organizations that balance the multistakeholder representation of NPP, support the implementation of the priorities, and represent diverse or underserved populations.

During the review period you may submit comments via e-mail to priorities@qualityforum.org with the subject line “National Priorities Partnership Proposed Roster Feedback.” Please note that all comments will be posted to the NQF website. 

For information on the National Priorities Partnership organizational nomination process, please visit National Quality Forum website.
