TAA-CDC chapter grants application planning

The Tourette Association of America, in partnership with the US CDC, is soliciting requests from chapters for a one-time grant to pay for for “education and awareness activities.” This could be a meeting aimed at “professional audiences, as well as families, individuals, and the general public.” We (the Missouri chapter, with colleagues at Washington University School of Medicine) are interested in applying. Applications are due 11/1/2018, so are trying to get as much input from interested families and professionals as we can by this weekend (10/21/2018). We will use the information to tailor our request.
