This webinar will be focused on MR-QAPP Toolkit, Module 2 - Remedial Actions that was published in March 2023. Presentations will cover Worksheet 11 and how Data Quality Objectives (DQOs) are presented in this new toolkit as well as the new Measurement Performance Criteria (MPCs) and Measurement Quality Objectives (MQOs). There will also be a discussion of managing data deliverables using Delivery Units and Survey Units, and the related Data Usability Assessments (DUAs). Presentations will be suitable for the varied M2S2 webinar audience, which typically includes government, regulator, and contractor attendees, and there will be opportunities for questions and discussion.
