The USDA data validation service (DVS) is a set of data edit checks designed to improve the quality of school meal verification data. Hosted and maintained by USDA, the DVS is designed to work with existing state systems and is part of an ongoing, USDA effort to help improve program processes without increasing burden. The webinar will provide an introduction to the DVS project and broadly describe the steps that are required to make the data call to the application programming interface, or API. 

Successful completion of the webinar and quiz is awarded 1 SNA CEU or 1 CPEU for RNDs/NDTRs.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Describe the ways that using the DVS benefits the integrity of USDA program data.
