IACC Strategic Planning Workgroup to meet April 21

The Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) coordinates efforts to research, educate, and screen for autism with the Department of Health and Human Services (go here for more information on the IACC).

On Monday, April 21st from 11 am to 6 pm EST, there will be a meeting of the Strategic Planning Workgroup formed by the IACC. Workgroup members will review the current funding for research on autism, as well as proposed research initiatives and resources, and will discuss and make recommendations on what research initiatives to prioritize for the IACC’s strategic plan for ASD research.

You can “attend” the workgroup meeting through a conference call phone number and a web presentation tool on the Internet. Members of the public who participate using the conference call phone number will be able to listen to the meeting but will not be heard; members of the public who participate through the web presentation tool may have the to submit written comments during the workgroup meeting (submitted comments will be reviewed after the meeting).
