Autism Rat Models Consortium – Request for Applications

Proposals are expected to utilize SFARI rat models to conduct in-depth behavioral and/or circuit analyses to further understand mechanisms underlying autism. SFARI is interested in the diversity of relevant functional domains—from sensorimotor, to cognitive, to social/affective functioning. Regardless of the domain(s) of focus, the overarching framework should consider linking hypotheses from genes to behavior. 

Each proposal may include 1-3 PIs (labs). 

Funding: $300,000 per lab per year 

Duration: 2-3 years

Research Authority due date: 29.8.21

Full proposal due date: 7.9.21

SFARI will hold an informational Zoom meeting on July 26, 2021 at 11 am EDT. Interested applicants can register here.
