In just over a month — August 2008 — the Research Working Group will meet in Atlanta, Georgia. The group will be charged with two main tasks:
- Review the country teams’ sample data submissions and comments on the inventory, information mapping, and research designs. The Research Working Group will then outline an updated plan for pre-testing to be done during August and September 2008.
- Articulate ideas of Research Working Group members about possible research designs.
Planning for the meeting is still underway.
