DESCRIPTION:Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative\nObjective of the
  SFARI Explorer Awards\nThis award program is designed to enhance our exis
 ting support of autism research by providing timely resources to enable fo
 cused experiments highly relevant to our mission. A deeper understanding o
 f the mechanisms underlying autism spectrum disorders or potential therape
 utic approaches will require investigation at multiple levels\, including 
 but not limited to studies focused on gene discovery\, molecular mechanism
 s\, circuits\, anatomy\, and cognition and behavior. We will consider prop
 osals at all of these levels.\nThe maximum budget is $70\,000\, including 
 indirect costs for one (1) year\, non-renewable.\nExplorer Awards are inte
 nded to provide resources to support exploratory experiments that will str
 engthen hypotheses and lead to the formulation of competitive applications
  for subsequent larger-scale funding by SFARI or other organizations. Inno
 vative\, high-risk/high-impact proposals are encouraged. We especially enc
 ourage applications from investigators who are new to the field of autism\
 , but who have expertise that could be brought to bear on this complex dis
 order.! Applications are considered on a rolling basis\, with a response t
 ime as early as 30 days !\nFurther details about the application criteria 
 here.
