SFARI

SPARK is an online research initiative that aims to recruit 50,000 individuals with autism and their family members living in the U.S.

Simons Searchlight is studying individuals with recurrent genetic variants associated with autism and related neurodevelopmental disorders.

Research Match is a service that enables approved researchers to recontact participants from SFARI autism cohorts, including SPARK (Simons Foundation Powering Autism Research), Simons Searchlight and Simons Simplex Collection (SSC), for recruitment into new research studies.

The Simons Simplex Collection (SSC) contains genetic and phenotypic data from nearly 3,000 families with a child affected by autism.

The Simons Variation in Individuals Project (Simons VIP) is studying individuals with recurrent genetic variants that increase autism risk.

SFARI Base provides approved researchers with access to data and biospecimens from the SSC, Simons Searchlight, SPARK and Autism Inpatient Collection.

SFARI is helping to make rat models of high-risk autism genes available to the research community.
