Program
SFARI 2019 Research Award - Request for Applications
Description
Grants awarded through this program are intended to provide support for the investigation of key unresolved research questions in autism, particularly those that connect etiologies to brain function and behavior. Unlike SFARI Pilot Awards, risk and novelty are welcome but are not required criteria for the proposal to be considered meritorious. Competitive applications will have preliminary data or other relevant groundwork that justifies substantial investment on the proposed topic.
Eligibility
All applicants and key collaborators must hold a Ph.D., M.D. or equivalent degree and have a faculty position or the equivalent at a college, university, medical school or other research facility. In addition, eligible applicants must have independent lab space at their institution.
Funding Availability
The maximum budget is $1,300,000, including indirect costs, over a period of up to four years.
Indirect Costs
20%

If College-level review is required, your College will communicate its earlier internal deadlines.
