Genetics funding

Current postdoctoral fellows at accredited colleges/universities, or fellows in postdoctoral appointments when funding begins, worldwide and without a US-citizenship requirement. Research must be linked to autism. A tenured/tenure-track or equivalent active autism-research mentor is required and may be named on only one SOS application. One recommendation from someone other than the mentor is required.

Society members working or studying in the UK, or attending a course in the UK. Students may apply immediately after joining; other members normally need one year of membership. Student supervisors must also be members and provide support.

Eligible higher-education, nonprofit, for-profit and other organisations listed in the NOFO, including non-US organisations, apply through their institution. Required institutional registrations and the NOFO-specific research conditions apply.

PhD/MD students, postdocs and qualifying prospective PhD candidates in basic biomedical research. European citizens may work worldwide; non-European citizens must undertake the relevant project in Europe or use the grant to work there. University-entrance qualification normally no more than 11 years earlier for students/graduates or 13 years for postdocs. Programme exclusions and exception rules apply.

Applicants and key collaborators must hold a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent degree and a faculty position or equivalent at a research facility. Domestic and foreign nonprofit, public, and private institutions may apply, subject to the stated restrictions on institutions, subcontracts, fiscal sponsors, agents, and consultants in China or Hong Kong.
