Autism Science
The Autism Science Foundation is dedicated to supporting autism research and providing funding to scientists and organizations conducting, supporting and publicizing autism research.
ASF launched its operations and kicked off its first fundraising drive in April, 2009. We released our first Request for Proposals in the fall of 2009 and announced our first round of grant recipients in February 2010. Our next RFA, for pre and post doctoral fellowships, will be released in September 2010.
ASF funds research in accordance with the the federal Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) Strategic Plan for Autism Spectrum Disorder Research, published in January 2010. The IACC also publishes an annual Summary of Advances in Autism Spectrum Disorder Research. ASF President Alison Singer serves as member of the IACC, and as a member of the IACC subcommittee on strategic plan oversight and implementation. ASF Scientific Advisory Board members Dr. Cathy Lord, Dr. Matt State, Dr. Manny DiCicco-Bloom, Dr. David Mandell and Dr. Eric London all participated as scientific experts in NIH workshops that were advisory to the strategic plan.
