Currently, we are enrolling subjects into the study.  There are three participants enrolled from the La Grande study site.  We do not have any participants from the Missoula site.

The recruitment process has been picking up speed.  A third recruitment catchment area was opened up in Billings, Montana in late October.  Currently, there are five participants from the La Grande site and nine participants from the Missoula/Billings site.

Currently, there are 13 participants from the Missoula/Billings site and 5 from the La Grande site.  Look for a study update to be published in the MT State Fund Newsletter in early April.
