Deciding Priorities
• Future patients• Immediate - recognition and acute therapy protocols• Long term – vaccine development
• Existing patients• Immediate – Rehabilitation approaches, nerve-transfer data collection• Long term – stem cell development

What Promotes Success
• Advocacy from patients/families targeting….• Patients (even those who recovered)• Clinicians• Government officials
• Resources for organized efforts• Look for opportunities to partner (the value of SRNA)
• Sacrifice and dedication (time, data on top of an already full plate)
