Dear MASN/NASN Members, 
 
The following notice from NASN will help support development our new initiative EVERY STUDENTS COUNTS!
 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has awarded the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) a $1.3 million three-year contract to educate and support the school nurse workforce so that they can conduct national active surveillance among U.S. school children for chronic conditions, including myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), and characterize the association of these chronic conditions with chronic school absenteeism and school withdrawal.

For all the details, please read the NASN press release: CDC Awards NASN $1.3 Million Contract
