Autism Speaks invites both Full- and Pilot-Level Basic & Clinical research grant applications to conduct innovative biomedical and behavioral research into the causes, diagnosis, treatment, prevention and dissemination of evidence-based practices for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Autism Speaks supports global biomedical research into the diagnosis, causes, prevention, and treatment of autism or its disabling symptoms. Our mission is to improve the future for all who struggle with autism spectrum disorders. In support of that mission, we provide funding along the entire research continuum — from discovery to development to translation and dissemination — for innovative projects that hold considerable promise for significantly improving the lives of persons with autism.
