Our grants and fellowships generally include:
Pilot Studies
- Grants for Pilot Studies are intended to draw new investigators into the field of autism research and to allow researchers to collect preliminary data to show the plausibility of an innovative area of exploration.
Basic and Clinical Grants
- Basic and Clinical Grants fund a broad range of areas, providing researchers the opportunity to pursue leads that have shown promise in pilot studies and offering larger awards over a longer period of time.
Treatment Grants - Treatment Grants address the urgent need to develop effective therapies to treat those living with the disorder today by supporting research focused on all aspects of treatment including behavioral, biomedical and technological interventions.
Environmental Sciences - The goal of the Environmental Sciences Research Grants is to stimulate research on the role of environmental influences in the etiology, course, prognosis, and pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorders.
Innovative Technology for Autism Grants - The goal of the Innovative Technology for Autism Grants is to spur development of new technology to assist those living with autism. Areas of focus include assistive technologies, educational products, rehabilitation technologies, data communication and telecommunications technologies, and tools such as lab equipment informatics and assessment instruments.

Augmentation and Bridge Award - The Augmentation and Bridge Award is designed to supplement or expand the scope of existing funded research projects. These additional funds enhance the scientific value of the overall endeavor and capitalize on projects which are already underway.
Fellowships - To continually expand the autism research field we must attract the best and brightest. Our Fellowships are pre-doctoral and post-doctoral fellowship awards offered to encourage and support the training of young scientists interested in devoting their careers to autism research.
Physician/Investigator Beginning Autism Research Fellowships - Both parents and researchers have come to realize the difficulty in finding experts in autism in clinical and research settings. Our Physician/Investigator Beginning Autism Research (PIBAR) Fellowships support medical doctors who wish to spend a year devoted to doing autism research. Our goal is to increase the number of sites with expertise in autism.
