Autism Rat Models Consortium 2.0 – Request for Applications

SFARI is launching a new RFA to build upon the successes of the initial phase of ARC as well as to integrate new ideas and new researchers into the existing collaborative framework. As in the original RFA, awardees of this RFA will work as a consortium to use these rat models to further our understanding of the behaviors and underlying neural circuits relevant to autism and related NDD.

This RFA will offer 2 funding tracks:

2. Collaboration Track

Funding: Explorer track $200,000 per year; Collaborative track $300,000 per lab per year (max. $900,000 per year for all partners)

Duration: Explorer track 2 years + 2 years. Collaborative track 3-4 years
