New to the Ryan White Program and the RSR: I was just put in charge of my organization’s annual RSR. This will be my first time submitting one, and I’m not even sure what an RSR is, never mind where to start. I’d like an overview of the submission process, how to get started, and who to go to for help.

Experienced Submitter with Data Quality Issues: I submitted the RSR last year, but I had some issues with data quality. I don’t know where to find my Completeness Report or how to look at it to find the items that could be improved. I’d also like some tips on how to analyze my data all year long, so there are no surprises upon upload.

IT Staff Member: I’m the IT person responsible for creating the RSR client-level data file. I’d like to know my options for creating this file and its technical specifications, including what goes into the encrypted Unique Client Identifier (eUCI).
