Lessons & Objectives:

- Be able to name the ways individuals can be involved in research beyond participating in active clinical studies
Grassroots Advocacy
- Outline the logic of the TS Alliance March on Capitol Hill - how meetings with representatives turn into Dear Colleague Letter endorsements, which can turn into funding requests, etc.
