Other sources of ideas
Future Steps and Goals:
Regular updates and edits of existing statements
Regular culling of expired or completed
statements
Addition of new RNS as needs are presented
Identifying and securing funding sources
Collaboration with other committees or
subcommittees
We need volunteers:
•
•
•
•
Provide Research Topics
Draft RNS
Review RNS
