Call for Proposals – Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) 2021 Human Cognitive and Behavioral Science

The mission of SFARI is to improve the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) by funding innovative research of the highest quality and relevance throughout the world.

Special emphasis is placed on objective, quantitative measures that may be used in conjunction with standardized clinical measures and genomic information to better triangulate phenotypic and neurobiological variability within and across individuals with ASD.
