NIRS Data Coordinators from all Centers and Programs meet quarterly. 

At this meeting, AUCD's TA team reviews upcoming federal reporting deadlines and upcoming webinars in August. This webinar also covers guidance and tips for data cleaning. We will also provide UCEDD-specific updates and LEND/DBP-specific updates in preparation for the end of the reporting year. These updates will be followed by Q&A and open floor discussions.

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. Learn more about NIRS and search the database at https://www.aucd.org/projects/nirs/index.cfm.
