Face-to-Face Meetings Face-to-face meetings of the Steering Committee will be held on a regular basis. The
priorities for these meetings are determined by the Steering Committee.
Members of the Study Group who are not members of the Steering Committee are invited
to the face-to-face meetings as needed to accomplish the work of SEARCH.
Other face-to-face meetings of writing groups, task groups or standing committees are
held on an as-needed basis, usually in conjunction with Steering Committee meetings.
Meetings independent of the Steering Committee meeting will require prior approval by
the Steering Committee.

Clinical Centers SEARCH Phase 3 has five centers, located in Ohio, Colorado, Washington, South
Carolina, and California.
Four SEARCH centers (Ohio, Colorado, Washington, South Carolina) are geographically
based - that is, diabetes cases will be identified from a geographically defined population
of children. One SEARCH center (California) is membership-based - that is, diabetes
cases will be identified among members of the health plan.
