SFARI's 2022 Genomics of ASD: Pathways to Biological Convergence and Genetic Therapies RFA is now open. Grants awarded through this RFA are intended to improve our understanding of the molecular and cellular consequences of genetic risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and to provide a foundation for the development of new therapies.

SFARI 2022 Human Cognitive and Behavioral Science request for applications (RFA) is now open. Grants awarded through this RFA are intended to produce foundational knowledge about the neurobehavioral differences associated with autism spectrum disorder.

SFARI 2022 Pilot Award request for applications (RFA) is now open. Grants awarded through this RFA are intended to provide early support for exploratory ideas, particularly those with novel hypotheses for autism.

The Bridge to Independence Award program engages talented early-career scientists in autism research by facilitating their transition to research independence and providing grant funding at the start of their professorships at a U.S. or Canadian research institution.

The Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative is pleased to announce the Analysis of postmortem brain tissue from the Autism BrainNet collection — Request for applications (RFA). Grants awarded through this RFA are intended to advance the understanding of autism spectrum disorder through analyses of human postmortem brain tissue donated to the Autism BrainNet collection.

Grants awarded through this RFA are intended to provide early support for exploratory ideas, particularly those with novel hypotheses for autism. Appropriate projects for this mechanism include those considered higher risk with less assurance of ultimate impact, but with the potential for transformative results. Investigators new to the field of autism are encouraged to apply for these awards.

SFARI announces the 2021 Human Cognitive and Behavioral Science RFA, a new funding opportunity that prioritizes science that produces foundational knowledge about the neurobehavioral differences associated with autism and directly informs the development or refinement of tools for translational efforts, such as biomarkers and outcome measures.

SFARI is pleased to announce the 2021 Bridge to Independence (BTI) Award request for applications. The BTI Award program engages talented early-career scientists in autism research by facilitating their transition to research independence and providing grant funding at the start of their professorships at a U.S. or Canadian research institution.

SFARI is pleased to announce its 2020 Collaboration on Sex Differences in Autism request for applications. Collaborations are a new funding mechanism that will provide substantive and stable funding support to multidisciplinary teams of investigators tackling critical issues in the autism research field.
