ACL contracts with a national legal
assistance resource center, the National Center on Law and Elder
Rights, to provide the required services. Through the contract, ACL
provides aging, disability, and related legal professionals with
training and complex case consultations and support for
demonstration projects regarding contractually identified priority
legal topics. The purpose of the information requested is for ACL
to ensure that the resource center creates and prioritizes the
training, case consultations and technical assistance resources it
was contracted to provide and to ensure that the center targets the
contractually designated aging network practitioners about the
priority subject matters. This approach enables ACL to make
data-informed decisions about the deployment of its resource center
assets. These data are necessary for ACL to evaluate contractual
compliance with established performance indicators. These metrics
include quantifiable increases in uptake by stakeholders of
training, case consultation and technical assistance, and measures
of satisfaction with and perceived benefit from these services. For
example, the metrics measure successful problem resolution as a
result of the services provided and quantifiable data on
fulfillment of requests for training, technical assistance, and
consultation related to the contractually designated legal and
systems development topic areas. The information requested by ACL
from legal and aging/disability professionals falls into the
following areas: (1) requests for training, case consultation, and
technical assistance through an online, secure Uniform Resource
Support Request Tool; (2) general requests for Legal Training
