What the grant funds

The FY22 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. Applications are strongly encouraged to address one of the FY22 ARP Career Development Award Areas of Interest or provide justification that the proposed research addresses a critical problem, question, or need in ASD. This award enables such investigators to compete for funding separately from investigators with established programs of ASD research. Previous experience in ASD research is allowed, but not required. However, in FY22 Career Development Award applications that name a Principal Investigator (PI) with limited background in ASD research, the ARP strongly encourages the inclusion of collaboration with investigators who are experienced in ASD research and/or possess other relevant expertise in order to strengthen the application. PIs must meet specific eligibility criteria as described in Section II.C, Eligibility Information. • Impact: The proposed research is expected to make an important and original contribution to advancing the understanding of ASD and ultimately lead to improved outcomes for individuals with ASD and their families/caregivers. The project’s impact on both ASD research and ASD care should be clearly articulated. A statistical plan is an important aspect of the FY22 ARP Career Development Award to demonstrate the significance of any research outcomes or findings. • Preliminary data: Although the proposed research must have direct relevance to ASD, the required preliminary data, which may include unpublished results from the laboratory of the PI(s), research team, or collaborators named on the application, may be from outside the ASD research field. Research should also be based on a sound scientific rationale that is established through logical reasoning and critical review and analysis of the literature. • Personnel: The FY22 ARP seeks applications from investigators in the early stages of their ASD career. The FY22 ARP Career Development Award is designed to support the continued development of promising independent investigators that are early in their faculty appointments or the transition of established investigators from other research fields into a career in the field of ASD research.
