NIRS Reporting
NIRS is the national information 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 network members comply with Federal reporting requirements. The data gathered in NIRS also enables AUCD to develop composite snapshots of the UCEDD and LEND programs.

What is NIRS Data used for?
- To produce a snapshot of the UCEDD/LEND network and all centers nationally
- Capture the impact of each program's research, training, services, and projects
- Evaluate the success of the UCEDD and LEND programs
- Provide support for requests for continued federal funding
- To inform a publically searchable database of all AUCD network activities
