CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:Aim: Grants awarded through this RFA are intended to advance o
 ur understanding of the genetic basis of autism. Investigators who are int
 erested in analyzing genomic data in innovative ways from thousands of SPA
 RK (Simons Foundation Autism Research for Knowledge) families are encourag
 ed to apply.\n\nAvailable data will include whole-exome and genome-wide ge
 notyping data from approximately 4\,500 individuals with autism spectrum d
 isorder (ASD) and their biological parents. Approximately half of these fa
 milies will also have genomic data from an unaffected sibling. In addition
 \, whole-genome sequencing data will be available from approximately 400 o
 ther ASD individuals\, plus their biological parents and unaffected siblin
 gs. A limited phenotypic dataset for all participants will be available.\n
  \nDuration: 1 year\n \nFunding: USD $100’000\n \nEligibility: All ap
 plicants and key collaborators must hold a Ph.D.\, M.D. or equivalent degr
 ee and have a faculty position or the equivalent at a college\, university
 \, medical school or other research facility. There are no citizenship or 
 national residence requirements.\n \nHow to Apply: Applications must be c
 ompleted electronically and submitted using forms provided at proposalCENT
 RAL. The Narrative section should not exceed six pages.\n \nApplication D
 eadline: 27 July 2018*\n*Applicants are requested to send a Notice of Inte
 nt by email to grants@simonsfoundation.org by 22 June 2018. See program we
 bsite for more details.\n \nFurther information\n\n	More information abou
