NIRS

NIRS is the national, web-based data reporting and retrieval system for the AUCD Network. NIRS enables Network members to manage data on their training programs, projects, activities, and products, and helps them comply with Federal reporting requirements. The data gathered in NIRS also enables AUCD to develop composite snapshots of the UCEDD and LEND programs.

NIRS is a useful tool for accessing and promoting the important work of university-based centers and programs on disabilities and special health care needs (SHCN) to a wide array of constituents, including people with disabilities and/or SHCN and their families, local communities, states, service providers, funding agencies, policy makers, and other partners. Finally, NIRS supports the data management, program evaluation, long-range planning, and information sharing efforts of individual UCEDD and LEND Programs.

In addition to providing a link to the searchable database itself, this page has links to several priority areas concerning NIRS, such as a Project Overview, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), Paper Forms, and Standard Report Templates.
