ADvancing States National Information & Referral Support Center - ADvancing States, in collaboration with the Administration for Community Living (ACL) and key partners, will administer the National Information & Referral Support Center (NIRSC). The goal of this three-year project is to increase the capacity, effectiveness, and quality of aging and disability Information & Referral/Assistance (I&R/A) programs and systems to connect older adults, people with disabilities, their families and caregivers to information, services, and supports. The objectives are: 1) to provide training to enhance the professionalism of I&R/A programs and support standards-based practices including staff certification; 2) to provide technical assistance to I&R/A programs and facilitate peer learning; 3) to collaborate with partners and stakeholders, including through support of the Eldercare Locator, to represent and advance the interests of I&R/A programs; and 4) to promote understanding of the I&R/A landscape and promising practices within the field. Overall approach: these objectives will be achieved through training, technical assistance, peer learning, resource development, partnerships, promotion of standards-based approaches, and dissemination of innovative practices. Anticipated outcomes include: 1) Improvements in the ability of I&R/A professionals to connect people to information and services through strengthened I&R/A systems and processes; 2) Increases in the number of I&R/A professionals who achieve competency gains through training and hold professional certification; and 3) Sustained improvements in the capacity of states, territories, tribes, and local organizations to deliver high-quality, culturally responsive I&R/A services through knowledge of emerging and effective practices. Expected products include national training events; certification training; online courses; technical assistance; training webinars; issue briefs; promising practice resources; and the NIRSC website. Anticipated duration: September 30, 2026, through August 31, 2029.
