Autism Science Foundation Invites Applications for Pre- and Postdoctoral Training Awards

  • December 02, 2019

The Autism Science Foundation is inviting applications for its Pre- and Postdoctoral Training Awards.

Through the program, grants will be awarded to graduate students, medical students, and postdoctoral fellows in support of training in basic and clinical research relevant to autism spectrum disorders. The foundation will consider all areas of related basic and clinical research, including but not limited to human behavior across the lifespan (language, learning, behavior, communication, social function, motor skills and planning, epilepsy, sleep, repetitive disorders); neurobiology (anatomy, development, neuroimaging); pharmacology; behavioral intervention; neuropathology; genetics and gene/environment interactions; epigenetics; genomics; epigenomics; immunology; molecular and cellular mechanisms; studies employing model organisms and systems; and studies of treatment and service delivery.

Special consideration will be given to projects focused on traditionally under-researched populations, medical comorbidities of autism, a genetically-defined subtype of autism, and/or studies of families with a high probability of receiving a diagnosis.

Grants of $25,000 will be awarded to predoctoral and medical students, and grants of $35,000 will be awarded to postdoctoral students.

To be eligible, applicants must be an enrolled student in good standing in a program leading to a research doctorate such as a PhD or ScD or a dual degree such as an MD/PhD in an academic department at an accredited university or health/medical institution. Applicants for postdoctoral awards must have completed their doctoral or medical degree and have been accepted as a postdoctoral fellow in good standing in a program as of the award start date (July through September 2020).
