DESCRIPTION:Aim: The mission of the Simons Foundation Autism Research Init
 iative (SFARI) is to improve the understanding\, diagnosis and treatment o
 f autism spectrum disorders (ASD) by funding innovative research of the hi
 ghest quality and relevance. Grants awarded through the Human Cognitive an
 d Behavioral Science RFA are intended to produce foundational knowledge ab
 out the neurobehavioral differences associated with ASD\, which will direc
 tly inform the development or refinement of tools needed for translational
  efforts\, such as biomarkers and outcome measures. Special emphasis is pl
 aced on objective\, quantitative measures that may be used in conjunction 
 with standardized clinical measures and genomic information to better tria
 ngulate phenotypic and neurobiological variability within and across indiv
 iduals with ASD.\n\nTo enhance support of projects all along the continuum
  of translation\, SFARI now offers two tracks within this RFA solicitation
 :\n\n	The Explorer track is appropriate for early-stage projects where est
 ablishing feasibility and proof-of-concept are the most relevant outcomes 
 of the grant period.\n	The Expansion track is appropriate for more mature 
 projects with evidence of feasibility and preliminary validity\, for which
  goals such as scalability\, generalizability and/or ecological validity a
 re now the most relevant translational outcomes.\n\n\nDuration:      E
 xplorer track – 24 months\nExpansion track – 36 months\n\nFunding:  
      Explorer track – $500\,000\nExpansion track – $900’000\n\nE
