Aim: The mission of the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) is to improve the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) by funding innovative research of the highest quality and relevance.
The Pilot Award seeks to provide early support for exploratory ideas, particularly those with novel hypotheses. Appropriate projects for this mechanism include those considered higher risk but with the potential for transformative results. In particular, Simons Foundation encourages applications that propose research to link genetic or other ASD risk factors to molecular, cellular, circuit or behavioral mechanisms of ASD.
Duration: 24 months
Funding: USD 300’000
Eligibility: All applicants and key collaborators must hold a PhD, MD, or equivalent degree and have a faculty position or the equivalent. There are no citizenship or country requirements.
How to Apply: Applications must be completed electronically and submitted using forms provided at proposalCENTRAL. A Signature Page must be completed by the Research Office.
Application Deadline: 18 April 2019
