Notice of Intent To Award a Single Source Non-Competing 
Supplement to the Residential Information Systems Project, University 
of Minnesota

AGENCY: Administration for Community Living, HHS.

SUMMARY: The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is announcing 
supplemental funding for the Residential Information Systems Project 
(RISP) at the University of Minnesota. The RISP project collects and 
examines national and state by state statistics on all residential 
services and supports from different sources. Between 2011 and 2016 the 
Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AIDD) 
funded the Family Information Systems Project (FISP) to examine the 
supports and services provided to families with family members with 
disabilities residing in the family home. The FISP project has created 
a user-friendly Web site enabling the data to be easily utilized by the 
public. The Web site includes the annual reports containing data 
relating to services provided to families in Fiscal Year 2012, Fiscal 
Year 2013, Fiscal Year 2014 and Fiscal Year 2015. The Web site also 
includes the infographics, and chart builder products.
    With this supplement, data from the FISP will be incorporated into 
the RISP and the project will be able to continue the collection and 
examination of the variables related to supports and services provided 
to families. Specific activities include: Annual state by state data 
collection, longitudinal analyses of changes in state utilization and 
expenditures for children vs adults; development and dissemination of 
one targeted research to practice brief on FISP findings for families 
and other stakeholders; ongoing FISP technical assistance and webinars 
and continuation of web-based dissemination of FISP findings though the 
FISP Web site. In addition, the RISP project will be able to maintain 
and build upon the established Web site.
