Description of Collaborative Activity: |
This Federal Advisory Committee coordinates activities relevant to the various forms of muscular dystrophy across the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other federal agencies. The committee also includes members from patient organizations.

The plan is available at the MDCC web site. |
