Dear FARM Program Database Users,

The new FARM Program database site launch is Feb. 20! Please be aware of the following key updates:

Site Deployment and Shutdown Time: The deployment of the new site will occur at 8 p.m. ET Tuesday, Feb. 20, and we anticipate a shutdown period of approximately 2 hours. During this time, the database will not be accessible. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work toward enhancing your experience.

Credential Information: You can log in to the new site using your existing credential information. There's no need to set up a new account, ensuring a smooth transition to the updated platform.

"Return to Old UI" Feature: For ease of transition, the option to "Return to old UI" will be available directly from your dashboard for a while post-launch. This feature is designed to provide a comfortable adjustment period to the new interface while still giving you access to the familiar layout of the previous site. Please note that this option will eventually be phased out as we fully transition to the new system.

Zoom Demos: FARM will host orientation webinars for evaluators to familiarize everyone with the new FARM Program database. These sessions are designed to provide an overview of the new database including participant management, basic functionalities across program areas, and updates to the resource library.

Thank you for your continued commitment to the FARM Program. We're looking forward to growing and improving with you.
