HRSA Geospatial Data Warehouse
http://datawarehouse.hrsa.gov/

The HRSA Geospatial Data Warehouse and its associated applications provide HRSA with access to a broad range of information about HRSA programs, related health resources, and demographic data useful for planning and policy purposes. A data warehouse is a centralized store of an organization's data resources implemented specifically for query, reporting, and analysis purposes. The HRSA Geospatial Data Warehouse captures grants, scholarship and loan programs, designation of underserved areas, and service demonstration programs and integrates these with data acquired from external sources. For a comprehensive list, refer to the data source listing under Help Resources.

As the central source of information used for reporting on HRSA activities, a map tool is available for users who would like to place the data in a geographic context (i.e. mapping the location of community health centers).The HRSA Geospatial Data Warehouse currently includes 5 years of grants data (fiscal years 1999-2003). The map tool allows users to map the most recent year of grants data, fiscal year 2003. The HRSA Grant Activity Listing describes HRSA Grant Activity, by Key Program Area, Cluster and Program Name for Fiscal Years 1999-2003. The HRSA Geospatial Data Warehouse will continue to evolve with HRSA's growing and changing data reporting and analysis needs. The data are updated regularly and new sources of information are added on a regular basis so check back often to see “What's New”. This has been added to Healthcare Resources 2004 Internet MiniGuide.
