By: Jeff Weber Titled the Collaborative Academic Research Efforts (CARE) for Tourette Syndrome Act, the legislation would expand and further coordinate efforts toward Tourette Syndrome research by promoting activities at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) aimed at combating and diagnosing TS.

Tischfield, Rutgers University and other NJCTS leadership to craft this legislation. Says Rice, "New Jersey has changed the face of TS research, education and support through partnerships and collaborations. We hope to model that process nationwide." More information will follow over the next several weeks. Please contact NJCTS at 908-575-7350 or www.njcts.org, or the office of Congressman Sires with any questions you might have or to read the official Congressional release. End
