Grant Description

The ARP Concept Award supports the exploration of a highly innovative new concept or untested theory that addresses an important problem relevant to ASD. The Concept Award is not intended to support a logical progression of an already established research project but, instead, allows Principal Investigators (PIs) the opportunity to pursue serendipitous observations. This award mechanism supports high-risk studies that have the potential to reveal entirely new avenues for investigation. Proposals must describe how the new idea will enhance existing knowledge of ASD or create an entirely new avenue for investigation. Research completed through a Concept Award may provide sufficient preliminary data to enable the PI to prepare a proposal for future research.
