About the AISP -LC Initiative
The first AISP Learning Community cohort is slated to begin in Summer 2017. It will be composed of five to seven developing IDS sites that applied, and were chosen to participate. All selected sites will have a basic appreciation of the value that an IDS brings to government operations, and are ready to develop and refine partnerships within their jurisdiction to best meet the priorities of the specific government agencies their IDS will serve. The AISP -LC initiative provides participating sites with the opportunity to directly work with a cohort of other developing IDS sites in a hands-on environment.
About AISP
The principal aim of AISP is to improve the quality of education, health, and human service agencies' policies and practices through the use of integrated data systems. Quality integrated data systems are designed to help executive leaders in municipal, county, and state government evaluate and establish effective programs for the people they serve. In 2009, AISP established a professional network to address the lack of national standards for integrated data systems. The AISP Network is composed of IDS sites that are leaders in the field of integrated data systems. Network members are sites with mature, functioning integrated data systems capable of producing actionable intelligence to guide policy and practice decision-making. In collaboration with the Network, AISP's core staff focuses on furthering the development, use, and innovation of integrated data systems to improve policy analysis and program evaluation processes.
