Grant Description

The purpose of the EFNEP-ISP is to fund the design, building, testing, and implementation of a web-based EFNEP information system which 1) supports local, university/state/territory, and federal evaluation and reporting elements of the current Nutrition Education Evaluation Reporting System (NEERS) (www.csrees.usda.gov/neers5); 2) improves functionality of the existing system while maintaining security and ease of use; and 3) synchronizes EFNEP with other Agency and University data collections systems such as CSREES’ new standard report, REE Port, and the Community Nutrition Logic Model. Completion of this project will require a high level of interaction among EFNEP staff and information technology (IT) personnel at the federal and university/state/territory level. This is necessary in order to meet local and university/state/territory programmatic and reporting needs which are nested within the federal reporting and evaluation structure.
