Autism Centers of Excellence P50
Funds a multi-site Autism Centers of Excellence programme as a P50 center grant, alongside a companion R01 version of the same initiative.
Autism research works best as a team sport — no single lab sees enough patients or covers enough disciplines to move the field alone — and NIH has funded that kind of team through the Autism Centers of Excellence programme since 2007. This notice is the next round of it, run through NIH's center-grant mechanism instead of a standard research grant.
A P50 is a Research Program Projects and Centers…
A multi-site Autism Centers of Excellence Center, structured as a P50 award of several related projects and shared cores, on a topic within the joint missions of NICHD, NIDCD, NIEHS, NIMH and NINDS. The specific research topics for this round are not yet named; this forecast covers the center structure and funding mechanism only.
