Boone Indicators Dashboard (BID)
The Boone Indicators Dashboard (BID) is a collaboration effort between BIG, data experts, and the University of Missouri Institute of Public Policy (MU-IPP). MU-IPP has been contracted to collect the most reliable data sources regarding populations and issues of Boone County residents. The purpose of the BID project is to provide visualized information tools -community indicators- to be easily accessed by diverse community stakeholders who currently require higher data capacity to more effectively inform and align community planning, resource investment, and performance management and monitoring. The Boone County Community Services Department requires organizations to utilize data from BID in proposals. The BID website can be viewed at booneindicators.org.
Boone Impact Group Taxonomy of Services
The Boone Impact Group Taxonomy of Services is utilized by Boone County Community Services Department, City of Columbia/Boone County Department of Public Health and Human Services, and Heart of Missouri United Way. The taxonomy provides service categories that identify the type of services provided to individuals living in Boone County. The purpose of the taxonomy is to have a universal language for services being provided among organizations receiving funding from the sources mentioned previously. Funding proposals will require using the taxonomy of services to identify what services will be provided. The services will be individualized within proposal narratives, proposed outcomes, indicators, and method of measurements. Proposals to the Boone County Community Services department are required to utilize the Taxonomy of Services when developing a purchase of service model.
