What We Fund

The Autism Science Foundation funds research that will help us understand the causes of autism and develop better treatments. We also fund projects that improve the dissemination of autism research so that parents and other stakeholders are fully informed about the latest autism science.
 
Since its founding in 2009, ASF has funded just under half a million dollars in autism research. Our funding levels have increased each year and we expect this to continue in 2012.
 
We will open our request for applications for pre- and post-doctoral fellowships in autism research each fall.  Applicants must be affiliated with U.S.-based universities to be eligible for funding. Award recipients are announced in February/March.
 
In January/February 2012 we will issue a request for applications for IMFAR Travel Awards.
