AGID has a new name! The Administration for Community Living is proud to announce a change in name for our data portal website (https://agid.acl.gov/) from the AGing Integrated Database to the AGing, Independence, and Disability (AGID) Program Data Portal.   The new name reflects the full scope of our mission to “Maximize the independence, well-being, and health of older adults, people with disabilities across the lifespan, and their families and caregivers”. The new AGID now has links to Administration on Disabilities (AoD) program data, as well as new data products from the Administration on Aging’s (AoA) programs and reporting systems. A few of the major enhancements include: On the “Data Files” page, this page now includes links to: Administration on Disabilities programs’ data; Administration on Disabilities funded data collection activities; Current Administration on Aging evaluation activities; and Contact information for people asked to participate in AoA surveys or studies, or who are interested in accessing evaluation data for research purposes We are in the process of adding disability data files, which include Administration on Disabilities Programs annual performance data from the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, Independent Living Administration Programs’ annual performance data, and Administration on Disabilities Programs Project of National Significance Data – longitudinal data collection projects. The “Resources” page now includes a feature providing users with a variety of new data products such as Data Stories, Blog Posts, and Issue Briefs created from AoA's State Program Reports, Title VI Services, National Family Caregiver Support Program, and National Survey of Older Americans Act Participants. New data products from these programs will be posted during the next few months. Look for new data products from the National Ombudsman Reporting System to be posted in the near future!
