Autism Science Foundation COVID-19 Pivot Grant Program

About this program

Autism Science Foundation (ASF) is offering COVID-19 Pivot Grants of up to $3,000 for a six-month term to help autism researchers cover new costs incurred when adapting projects disrupted by COVID-19; the program is designed as a fast-turnaround mechanism with multiple calls expected. Priority will be given to pilot or feasibility projects and to early-career investigators (pre-doctoral through seven years post-postdoc), and first-round awards are limited to applicants with established university or research institution affiliations. Eligible uses include participant retention honoraria, new biological agents or preparations to pivot studies, sample storage, remote data-collection technology, and costs to make materials available to families or other researchers; applicants should consult the ASF grants page for application details.
