On behalf of the IACC, the National Institute of Mental Health has issued two Requests for Information (RFI):
Response Due 9/30/08: IACC Draft Strategic Plan for ASD Research is Available for Comment. The purpose of this time-sensitive RFI is to seek comments on the draft Strategic Plan from ASD stakeholders such as individuals with ASD and their families, autism advocates, scientists, health professionals, therapists, educators, officials of state and local programs for ASD, and the public at large. Please see the official RFI notice NOT-MH-08-021 at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/noti ... 8-021.html for more information and instructions for responding by the deadline of September 30, 2008. Responses should be directed to iacc@mail.nih.gov. Please note: The draft Strategic Plan does not include cost estimates for implementation. However, the IACC has formed a workgroup to advise the IACC about the budgetary requirements needed to fulfill the research objectives described in the draft Strategic Plan. The IACC will review the workgroup recommendations at its next meeting on November 21, 2008.

Thanks, Alex!

Am I the only one who thought of Nickle Metal Hydride (NIMH) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) when reading the title?

I am a little confused by Alex's post could someone explain it to me please. Thanks in advance

Thanks I copied it all and am looking into whether I can get a piece of the action

Thanks, Alex, for posting this. I'll be passing it along.

Have you considered putting something about this on the main page with the other articles where everyone would see it? I hope as many members as possible voice their opinions and explaining the importance of this opportunity more might encourage people to participate. I'd guess philosopherBoi isn't the only one with a question.

There is so much frustration expressed on this site in relation to issues being addressed by IACC (for good reason, too) that it would be great to see people channel it into something constructive. Thanks again for the info.
