  • New National Quality Data Management Project Webpage

    Mar 29th, 2013

    In 2011, Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AIDD) awarded a five year contract totaling $1.5 million to the National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disabilities Services (NASDDDS), to increase efforts with the National Core Indicators (NCI) Project.   The overall goal is to have all 50 states plus the District of Columbia utilizing NCI.  As the number of states grow, so is our effort to share current NCI information.  NASDDDS and HSRI are pleased to announce that a new webpage showcasing the NCI activities of the new states who have joined through this five year contract is now live!  Entitled "National Quality Data Management Project", this new webpage includes current state project activities, news, special reports, and links back to the regular NCI website.
