SFARI Socials

SFARI Socials are events consisting of talks, socializing and networking hosted by SFARI at meetings and conferences.

The Simons Foundation welcomed all ASHG 2023 attendees to join us for a lunch meeting. SFARI staff gave a short presentation and then answered questions about the research they support and opportunities for funding. They also highlighted the human cohorts — SPARK and Simons Searchlight — as well as associated resources they have created for the scientific community.

SFARI Clinical and Basic Researcher Speed Networking at INSAR 2025

The Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) is hosting an event focused on bringing together basic science and clinical researchers for speed networking. The event is intended for doctoral-level scientists (e.g., PIs and senior postdocs) attending the 2025 annual INSAR meeting. We hope this event will foster better understanding of different disciplines and potentially create new opportunities for collaboration. SFARI staff will also be available to answer any questions you may have about the research and resources supported by SFARI.
