2013 Request for Applications

November 30, 2012

The mission of the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) is to improve the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorders by funding, catalyzing and driving research of the greatest quality and relevance.

To this end, we solicit applications for SFARI Awards from individuals who will conduct bold, imaginative, rigorous and relevant research.

The following types of applications will be considered:

• SFARI Pilot Award: Application type for innovative, high-impact proposals requesting support for small-scale projects or early-stage experiments that will build on preliminary data or prior track record, and lead to competitive applications for funding by SFARI or other organizations.
• SFARI Research Award: Application type for investigators with demonstrated expertise for proposals requesting support for compelling, high-impact research on an experimental hypothesis for which, in most cases, preliminary data have already been gathered. The foundation will also consider projects focusing on a central hypothesis where success depends on close collaboration between two or more labs.
• Other opportunities from Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative
