Description: |
Autism Speaks is dedicated to promoting solutions, across the spectrum and throughout the life span, for
the needs of individuals with autism and their families. We do this through advocacy and support;
increasing understanding and acceptance of autism spectrum disorder; and advancing research into
causes and better interventions for autism spectrum disorder and related conditions. We empower people
with autism and their families with resources, online tools and information covering the life span.
The goal of this program is to support well-qualified postdoctoral scientists pursuing training in autism
spectrum disorder (ASD). The program is open to applicants from public or private institutions doing
preclinical or clinical research. Each fellowship is awarded for a period of two years and includes both a competitive stipend (see guidelines) and an $11,000 annual allowance intended to cover professional conference travel, research costs and supplies, and/or fringe benefits. Indirect costs are not allowed. Stipend amounts based on years of experience since PhD can be found in the guidelines, with the year 7 level being the maximum. The latest start year is 5 years |
