DoW Autism Clinical Trial Award
Funds a clinical trial of a new autism treatment, product or device, from a small proof-of-concept study up to a full efficacy trial.
An autism intervention that looks promising in the lab still has to prove itself in people, and that's what this award pays for — not the earlier science, the trial.
Almost anything can be the thing under test: a new product, a drug or biologic, a device, clinical guidance, or an emerging approach or technology. Scale is flexible too, from a small proof-of-concept study — a pilot, a first-in-huma…
Clinical trials of new autism products, pharmacologic agents, devices, clinical guidance or emerging approaches and technologies, ranging from small proof-of-concept studies to large-scale efficacy trials, with a required named community partner providing ongoing advice and consultation throughout planning and implementation. A clinical trial is required.
