New Ideas - Request for Applications

The Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative supports bold, high-risk, high-reward ideas that could open new directions in autism science. Letters of intent are accepted on a rolling basis, with selected applicants invited to submit a full application for projects lasting up to two years.

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.
