Annual Report Function in NIRS
2
Updates for FY2008 Reporting

• Reports are due to ADD on July 30, 2008
• Cosmetic changes to font sizes
• Functionality change related to response rates on
  consumer satisfaction
• Increased clarity on what fields in the report
  need to be completed before the report is
  submit-able

3
Response Rates on Consumer Satisfaction

• For the FY08 report, the response rate on
  consumer satisfaction is calculated for you from
  the activity records
• If the rate is 30 or greater for a particular
  core function table, no additional explanatory
  text on the response rate is required for that
  table

4
Increased Clarity on Missing Content

• Fields that require content (text or numbers) but
  are empty are now shown in orange in the view
  function of the report. 
• As always, the reports Submit to ADD button
  will turn green only when all required fields
  have content
• Now it should be much easier for you to answer
  the eternal question Why isnt my button green?

5
Updates for FY2009 Reporting

• The current data collection is approved by OMB
  though August 2008
• The re-approval process involved 2 public comment
  periods
• First began February 7, 2008
• Second began April 15, 2008
• AUCD submitted comments on behalf of 41
  individuals representing 39 UCEDDs on April 8,
  2008
• Its too early for an official response
• We will make sure that all necessary changes are
  implemented in NIRS for the FY09 rollout
• As part of its charge, the Annual Report
  Workgroup will be looking at FY10 reporting

6
Consumer Satisfaction

• Satisfaction data gathered using questions and
  rubrics other than the one suggested by ADD will
  be allowed, provided that Centers describe their
  method(s) for converting any quantitative data.
• Satisfaction data on products (core function of
  information dissemination) may be quantitative or
  qualitative. If a qualitative method is used,
  Centers will provide a narrative on their method
  and results.
• For the core functions of training trainees and
  community services (training, TA, direct, and
  demo), Centers will be expected to gather
  satisfaction data
• From a random sample of 10 (rather than all, as
  currently expected)
• Achieve a 40 response rate in aggregate across
  the respective core function

7
Collaboration

• Collaboration is recognized as including both
  concurrent and sequential activities among the
  UCEDDs, PAs, and DDCs.

8
Other Heads Up

• We anticipate that MCHB will have substantive
  changes for FY10 reporting, particularly in the
  trainee follow-up survey
• This fall, AUCD will be welcoming 2 new networks
  to NIRS
• Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics (DBPeds), an
  MCHB Training Program with 9 grantees
• State Disability and Health Grantees, a CDC
  program with 16 grantees (8 of which are UCEDDs)
