For over forty years, the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) has coordinated trials and collected data on turfgrass traits from multiple species and sites across the U.S. and Canada. These trials are used worldwide for turfgrass cultivar improvement, sales and selection by everyone from researchers to turfgrass professionals to hobbyist turfgrass managers. However, using the NTEP web site (www.ntep.org), consisting of static, PDF or HTML-based tables to select grasses does not allow for customized results based on geography, specific site conditions or management levels. Therefore, the identification of sustainable turfgrasses within NTEP data is currently difficult and in need of improvement.A USDA Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI) grant provided funding for the development of a relational database structure, which then allowed for the creation of an improved mechanism to select and customize NTEP reports. The University of Minnesota, in cooperation with NTEP, has recently developed a user interface to search and publish customized reports of NTEP data. These data can now be summarized based on specific locations, site parameters, management levels and other criteria important in identifying and selecting sustainable grasses. This database and user interface (version 1.0) will soon be available through the NTEP web site.The National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) is an internationally recognized repository of turfgrass cultivar information. Starting in 1980, NTEP data has been collected from multiple locations across North America. Summarized results are made freely available via its web site, www.ntep.org. NTEP trials are typically conducted for four to five years, with reports published annually along with a final summary at the trial's conclusion. NTEP collects data on characteristics such as monthly turfgrass quality, genetic color, leaf texture and spring greenup, as well as response to various stresses such as shade, drought, cold, diseases, insects

The social environment in which lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth live influences health and wellbeing. We describe the development of the LGBTQ Supportive Environments Inventory (LGBTQ SEI), designed to quantify the LGBTQ-inclusiveness of social environments in the US and Canada. We quantify aspects of the social environment: 1) Presence/ quality of LGBTQ youth-serving organizations; 2) LGBTQ-inclusive Community Resources; 3) Socioeconomic and Political environment. Using GIS tools, we aggregated data to buffers around 397 schools in 3 regions. The LGBTQ SEI can be used to assess the role of the social environment in reducing health disparities for LGBTQ youth.
