DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Community Living
Notice of Intent To Award a Single Source Non-Competing
Supplement to the Residential Information Systems Project, University
of Minnesota
AGENCY: Administration for Community Living, HHS.
SUMMARY: The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is announcing
supplemental funding for the Residential Information Systems Project
(RISP) at the University of Minnesota. The RISP project collects and
examines national and state by state statistics on all residential
services and supports from different sources. Between 2011 and 2016 the
Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AIDD)
funded the Family Information Systems Project (FISP) to examine the
supports and services provided to families with family members with
disabilities residing in the family home. The FISP project has created
a user-friendly Web site enabling the data to be easily utilized by the
public. The Web site includes the annual reports containing data
relating to services provided to families in Fiscal Year 2012, Fiscal
Year 2013, Fiscal Year 2014 and Fiscal Year 2015. The Web site also
includes the infographics, and chart builder products.
With this supplement, data from the FISP will be incorporated into
the RISP and the project will be able to continue the collection and
examination of the variables related to supports and services provided
to families. Specific activities include: Annual state by state data
collection, longitudinal analyses of changes in state utilization and
expenditures for children vs adults; development and dissemination of
one targeted research to practice brief on FISP findings for families
and other stakeholders; ongoing FISP technical assistance and webinars
and continuation of web-based dissemination of FISP findings though the
FISP Web site. In addition, the RISP project will be able to maintain
and build upon the established Web site.
