八月三号的消息是,美国参议院通过了提案,将送交众议院表决.参院是一致通过的,所
以看起来众院的希望也会很大.
提案的要点:
1)今后五年内追加自闭症经费九亿美元.
2)要求美国卫生研究院将自闭症的生化物理方面的研究经费从现在的一亿美元提高
50%.
3)从法律上要求美国卫生研究院进行有关环境因素是否导致自闭症的研究,并在五年内
拨款四千五百万资助这方面的研究.
4)要求美国卫生研究院的领导制定计划,并听取各方面的咨询,咨询委员会中的三分之
一必须来自公众团体,至少必须包括一名自闭症患者本人和一名自闭症患者家长.
5)提供资助给个州政府,用于早期干预,早期诊断,和治疗方法.
Combating Autism Act of 2006 Highlights:
- Allocates approximately $900 million in spending on autism over the next
five years. This is approximately double what would have been spent with
straight-line continuation of existing programs.
- Authorizes a 50% increase in spending for biomedical research in autism
from the $100 million which the NIH currently claims to be spending.
- Creates a legal requirement for Centers of Excellence in Environmental
Health and Autism, to research "a broad array of environmental factors that
may have a possible role in autism spectrum disorders." These Centers are
authorized with funding of $45 million over the five-year life of the bill.
- Requires the director of NIH to develop and implement a strategic plan
for autism research and a budget to fund this plan, taking into account
recommendations of a public/private committee (the Interagency Autism
Coordinating Committee) which it requires to include at least one-third
public members, including a person with autism and a person who is the
parent of a child with autism. This new authority and accountability makes
the director, in effect, the "autism czar."
- Provides grant programs for states to develop autism screening, early
diagnosis and intervention programs for children -- perhaps the most
important thing that could happen, short of a cure.
