NACo Research Division
The Research Division's mission is to provide the information and research necessary to support and enhance the administration of county government in the United States. The division conducts annual surveys of county governments, writes research and issue briefs, maintains model county program information, oversees and administers the Grants Clearinghouse webpage, and serves as a clearinghouse of technical assistance and information for county officials and other interested groups. The division also coordinates and administers the Achievement Awards program, an annual awards program that seeks to recognize outstanding county government initiatives in a variety of different subject areas.

I think this is a great idea, hopefully the staff will use it effectively
For the FSC, any detailed information on county spending patterns would be very helpful. For example, being able to differentiate spend by industry code rather than by macro category. We are constantly asked by the private sector for definitive information by such categories as technology product, technology solutions & consulting, electrical, comm data, MRO, etc.
Thanks Steve,
I've taken note of your comment and will explore some data sources.
I could use help obtaining information NACo and our partners can use to express the need for federal funding for rural development, especially through USDA Rural Development programs. Specifically it would be helpful to be able to go into a congressional office and let them see the lost opportunities to strengthen rural communities in their district by reporting data on all/some of the USDA grants/loans rural communities have applied for but not received due to lack of federal funding.
There is some good information out there but the data seems old.

http://circ.rupri.org/ I especially like the congressional district feature on this website. In my work it would be very helpful to have a print out by congressional district of the funding needs.
Perhaps we can work together to flesh out some ideas.
