This section of AGID provides access to ACL-related survey databases, administrative and evaluation data, and special tabulations.

Administration on Aging
- NSOAAP is a collection of annual national surveys of recipients of select Title III services. The surveys are administered by Westat. Their purpose is to obtain performance outcome measurement information, which is then used in AoA's GPRA plan and PART assessment. The survey instruments focus on consumer assessment of service quality and consumer-reported outcomes. The instruments also measure special needs characteristics such as physical and social functioning of the people who receive services.

Current Program Evaluation Activities
