The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is forecasting a grant opportunity titled "Autism Research Consortium," aimed at establishing a consortium of research institutions to enhance the evidence base for effective interventions and services for children and adolescents with autism and other developmental disabilities. Eligible applicants include a wide range of public and private entities, such as research centers, faith-based organizations, and tribal organizations, with no cost-sharing or matching requirements. This initiative is crucial for advancing research in the health sector, particularly in improving support systems for affected individuals. The estimated total program funding is $4.8 million, with an award ceiling of $960,000 for up to five awards, and interested parties should note the estimated synopsis post date of December 9, 2024, and the application deadline of March 10, 2025. For further inquiries, applicants can contact Deborah Quint Shelef or Emmie Perchak at (240) 460-5221 or via email at Autism_RC@hrsa.gov.
