SFARI 2022 Human Cognitive and Behavioral Science RFA: Informational session

On February 25, 2022, SFARI held an informational session about the 2022 Human Cognitive and Behavioral Science request for applications. The session provided an overview of the RFA and its scientific priorities from SFARI senior scientist Pamela Feliciano, SFARI clinical research scientist LeeAnne Green Snyder, SFARI senior scientist Alice Luo Clayton and Clinical Research Associates deputy director Paul Wang.

SFARI hosts virtual fall 2021 science meeting

In October and November 2021, SFARI held the fall 2021 science meeting virtually. Across three webinars, nine SFARI-funded researchers discussed their latest findings in autism research to an audience of over 300 attendees, including current and past SFARI Investigators, SFARI collaborators and postdocs training in SFARI-funded labs.

SFARI 2021 Director Awards announced

SFARI is pleased to announce that seven Director Awards were awarded in 2021. These projects include, but are not limited to, studies that aim to develop new tools and resources for autism research and studies whose goals are beyond the focus of existing SFARI request for applications.

Updates to SFARI’s 2022 requests for grant applications

SFARI’s requests for grant applications (RFAs) underwent a number of changes in 2021. In 2022, we will largely continue on the course set last year. There will be a single call for Pilot Awards and new calls for the Human Cognitive and Behavioral Science and the Genomics of ASD RFAs.

SFARI Gene to introduce EAGLE, a new ASD-relevance gene scoring system

The ASD-relevance of genes in the SFARI Gene database will be assessed according to a new scoring system called EAGLE (Evaluation of Autism Gene Link Evidence). This metric adds to SFARI Gene’s four ASD-confidence categories to provide an additional tool for assessing a gene’s specific association to ASD rather than neurodevelopmental conditions at large.
