The FY23 ARP Career Development Award supports early-career, independent investigators and/or the transition of established investigators from other research fields to conduct innovative, high-impact ideas or early-phase, proof-of-principle clinical trials with the potential to have a major impact on ASD and strongly encourages applications that address the critical needs of the ASD community in the following areas (listed alphabetically):
- Assessment of novel therapeutics using valid preclinical models
- Create tools and strategies to increase the speed with which evidence-based practices are deployed in community-based settings
- Cultural, socioeconomic, and gender factors in diagnosis, treatment efficacy, delivery, and access to services
- Development of healthcare provider-focused training or tools to improve healthcare delivery for autistic individuals across the life span and the continuum of care (i.e., primary care, urgent/emergent care, and disaster relief)
- Environmental risk factors
- Factors impacting quality of life during geographic relocation, such as military permanent change of station
- Factors promoting success in key transitions to independence for individuals living with ASD
- Improve diagnosis across the life span
- Long-term treatment outcomes from previous clinical trials for ASD core symptoms or to alleviate co-occurring conditions
- Mechanisms of heterogeneous clinical expression of ASD
- Mechanisms underlying conditions co-occurring with ASD (e.g., sleep disturbances, gastrointestinal issues, inflammation, aggression, depression, anxiety, attention deficit, and seizures)
- Mechanisms underlying sex differences in ASD (i.e., prevalence, biological mechanisms, phenotypic expression, core and comorbid syndrome expression and outcomes, developmental trajectories, diagnosis, and treatment response)
- Tests of implementation strategies to increase use of evidence-based practices
It is expected that three awards will be granted.
