GIS Activities in 2003

In addition to special sessions planned for the regional and annual KIDS COUNT meetings on GIS, the following activities are in progress or planned for 2003.

• Continued training opportunities are available through ESRI’s virtual campus. Twenty seats are still available and must be used by August 2003. Members of the GIS users group can choose to take courses in advanced ArcView skills, data availability, and GIS development and applications. Go to: http://campus.esri.com/campus/catalog/ to view courses and sign up.
  
  
• A GIS resource page and web-based map gallery will be published on the KIDS COUNT network website. These pages will include technical assistance documentation, archive of kc-gis listserv posts, and a gallery of maps published by grantees.
  
  
• Support for institutional cross-site sharing for GIS technical assistance. This initiative will cover travel expenses and compensation for the supporting institution. Projects interested in a match or hosting a grantee should contact PRB.
  
  
• Support for ten grantees to participate in a GIS-related conference. The recommended conferences are the Association of American Geographers (AAG) or the ESRI GIS Users Conference, though other conferences may also be relevant. More information about these opportunities and registration deadlines will be forwarded when appropriate. Support will include registration costs and travel expenses.

For more information about any of these activities, please contact Cheryl Lynn Stauffer at PRB. cstauffer@prb.org or 202-939-5437
