Expert Advisory Group
The EAG was launched in February 2020. They have since started their twice quarterly meetings as they work to guide and manage the MLD RUSP Approval project.
The EAG consists of MLD and newborn screeing experts with a broad perspective and knowledge that covers all of the key components of the RUSP Nomination. Their primary responsibility is to create a complete evidence-based RUSP Nomination.
The EAG will direct the contribution and approach of the Working Focus Groups, and through a healthy interactive dialog identify and develop strategies to address gaps in data, conclusions, publications, and recommendations required by the nomination form.
