Grant Overview

Connecticut's service landscape for individuals with disabilities is complex, with multiple organizations and agencies providing support. However, the lack of robust data systems hinders the ability to track the effectiveness and reach of these services. Currently, there is no statewide data infrastructure to monitor employment outcomes and service usage among individuals with disabilities, making it challenging to refine programs and demonstrate impact. This Connecticut-based project involves creating robust data systems to track the effectiveness and reach of services for individuals with disabilities. The initiative aims to analyze data on employment outcomes and service usage, refining programs and demonstrating the impact of investments in accessibility. Organizations applying should demonstrate experience in data management and analysis, as well as a deep understanding of Connecticut's service landscape for individuals with disabilities. Unlike neighboring Massachusetts, Connecticut's smaller size requires a more nuanced approach to data system development, with a focus on interagency collaboration and data sharing. The program will prioritize initiatives that can demonstrate compliance with state and federal data regulations, as well as a commitment to ongoing data quality improvement. Key requirements include the ability to integrate with existing state data systems and a proven track record in data-driven program evaluation. The funding will support organizations that can show a clear understanding of Connecticut's specific data needs and the ability to develop tailored solutions. With a focus on data-driven decision-making, this program aims to enhance the overall effectiveness of services for individuals with disabilities in Connecticut. The state's dense population and complex service landscape create a unique context for this funding opportunity.
