The IACC issued a formal Request for Information (RFI) to solicit public input to inform the 2010 update of the Strategic Plan in July 2009. During the four-week comment period (July 23 – August 21, 2009), members of the public provided input on missing and underrepresented research topics or knowledge areas in the 2009 IACC Strategic Plan for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Research, potential new research opportunities, and suggestions for prioritizing the Strategic Plan research objectives.

The IACC received a total of 290 submitted RFI responses. Individual respondents included people self-identified with ASD; parents or relatives of a person with ASD; professionals involved in the diagnosis, care, and/or education of people with ASD; and researchers in ASD and other fields. Examples of organizations that responded included state autism societies; state and local ASD service providers; ASD-specific foundations; advocacy organizations; and professional organizations.
