The Subcommittee will hear from the following experts: Martin B. Gold, Partner, Capitol Counsel, LLC Joshua C. Huder, Senior Fellow, Government Affairs Institute, Georgetown University Lorelei Kelly, Fellow, Beeck Center for Social Impact and Innovation, Georgetown University Jurisdiction: The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, whose jurisdiction governs the Subcommittee’s jurisdiction, has jurisdiction over congressional organization, including continuity and technological issues such as those discussed here. This memorandum does not endorse any specific technology, however, which is under the purview of the Senate Sergeant at Arms. The Senate Committee on Rules has jurisdiction over the rules changes discussed in this memorandum. Introduction The COVID-19 virus has shut down major sectors of our society, including many functions of Congress. By rule and custom, the two chambers of Congress have always met in person to conduct business, including committee hearings, floor deliberation, and voting. Neither chamber has contingency plans that allow those functions to proceed remotely, but this crisis highlights the need to consider means for Congress to do its job at times when it may not be safe for members and staff to gather in person.

    Building the Evidence Base: Key Findings From an Evaluation of the Autism CARES Research Program Autism CARES Act Legislation and Funding Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a range of developmental disabilities (DDs) affecting an estimated 1 out of 59 children.1 Individuals on the autism spectrum vary widely in their symptomatic presentation, sometimes exhibiting impairments in social communication and interaction and repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, and activities. Once diagnosed, individuals face numerous challenges accessing recommended health, education, and related support services. In 2014, the U.S. Congress passed the Autism Collaboration, Accountability, Research, Education, and Support (CARES) Act.2 Under the act, the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) supports grant programs that advance professional training, research, and the development of comprehensive, coordinated State systems of care for ASD and other DDs. HRSA has provided autism-related funding for programs since 2008. This document is one of four describing the activities and successes of the following types of grants: Autism Intervention Research Programs, including five research networks and two research grant portfolios: (1) Field-Initiated Innovative Research Studies, known as Autism-FIRST grants; and (2) Secondary Data Analysis Research, known as Autism-SDAR grants—as highlighted in this document Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Other Related Disabilities (LEND) training programs
