National Center Initiatives >> Database

One of the charges of the National Center is to help provide Interpreters and Interpreter Educators with a centralized source of information that will help better the field of Interpreting by improving the availability of high quality materials. This information will include searchable documents, online private portfolio management, a searchable database of Interpreter Education Programs nationwide, and a private database of information that will be used to produce informational materials for the public. This information and service will be free to the public.

The beginning stages of this project are what has become the National Consortium Resource Center. There you will find extensive resources, including a comprehensive list of Interpreter Education Programs.

Needs Assessments
 The Deaf Consumer Needs Assessment Report serves as a starting point for understanding the current and projected needs of deaf consumers as they relate to the availability, quality and overall use of interpreter services. The Phase I Deaf Consumer Needs Assessment effort was designed as only the first in a series of on-going activities planned by NCIEC to collect input from deaf consumers. The Phase II Deaf Consumer Needs Assessment is being conducted now across the country in face to face interviews with Deaf Consumers.

Effective Practices
 The National Center is charged with a leadership role in identifying effective practices, both existing and those to emerge through NCIEC projects and activities. The goal is to identify effective practices and produce guidelines, benchmarks, milestones and assessment measures to guide others in future replications of, and improvements to, those practices.
