Rural
Assistance Center Mapping Initiative
This initiative provides national maps on a variety of
rural health and human services topics. Maps can be
customized to focus on a specified state or county and
to show additional labels, boundaries and data, for use
in grant applications, reports and other publications.
An "Am I Rural" mapping interface was developed in
2006 that enables decision makers to quickly visualize
areas that are rural based on a
specified definition. |

Early Childhood Atlas
The Early Childhood Atlas is a set of online and offline tools for spatial
analysis of early childhood services indicators and child well-being
indicators. Local agencies such as child care resource and referral
agencies, continuing education providers, and parent support
organizations use the Atlas to prepare custom reports, grant
proposals, and other materials about the status of early care and
education in their communities. |

Federal Funds Analysis Database
CIRC has developed a policy analysis and mapping
interface designed in partnership with the South Rural
Development Initiative (SRDI). The tool allows
users to design custom queries of federal agency funding
data present in the U.S. Census Bureau's Consolidated
Federal Funds Reports for the FY 2001-2003 period.
Additional functionality provides a county summary page
of key USDA program funding for the FY 2001-20003.
The tool is timely as the United States Congress is
currently deliberating on the reauthorization of the
Farm Security and Rural Investment Act, which will guide
USDA policy and programs for the next five years. |

Chicago
HIV/AIDS Community Health Information System
An Internet GIS provides users with a suite of tools to
interact with geographic data and conduct spatial
analyses related to the characteristics that promote or
impede the provision of HIV-related services in Chicago
and Toronto (see project below). Internet Mapping
allows those engaged in local decision-making to: (1)
geographically visualize information via the Internet;
(2) Assess the relationship between the distribution of
HIV services and spatially referenced socio-economic
data; and (3) generate “what if” scenarios” that may
direct the allocation of healthcare resources.
