Letter of Intent due: February 23, 2012, 8:00 PM Eastern Autism Speaks invites both Full- and Pilot-Level Treatment research grant applications to conduct innovative clinical studies of novel interventions for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) throughout the lifespan. These may include medical approaches including complementary and alternative forms of health care and pharmacological treatments, as well as behavioral and/or psychosocial interventions, and evaluation of the efficacy, safety or therapeutic benefits of all types of interventions.

1. Understand environmental risk factors and their interaction with genetic susceptibility to enable prevention and improve diagnosis and treatment
2. Discover biomarkers that can improve risk assessment and subtype stratification that will allow for an individualized approach to treatment
3. Improve quality of life through more effective medicines, behavioral interventions, and technologies
4. Enhance diagnosis and treatment of underserved and under-studied populations, specifically,
• Nonverbal persons with ASD • Ethnically-diverse and/or low resource communities • Adults • Those with medical co-morbidities
5. Disseminate and implement evidence-based clinical practices to the broader community worldwide IMPORTANT: The relevance of the proposed research to ASD and Autism Speaks’ research priority areas must be explicitly described in the Letter of Intent (LOI) and full application.
Awards Autism Speaks will make a limited number of treatment research grants determined by the available financial resources. Full-level research grant 1-3 years $150,000/year maximum
Pilot-level research grant 1-2 years $60,000/year maximum

Wayne F. Placek Grants
These grants support scientific research to increase the general public's understanding of homosexuality and to alleviate the stress that gay men and lesbians experience in this and future civilizations.
Two $15,000 grants are available in research support.
The grants support empirical research from all fields of the behavioral and social sciences on any topic related to lesbian, gay, or bisexual issues. Proposals are especially encouraged for empirical studies that address the following topics:
Heterosexuals' attitudes and behaviors toward lesbians and gay men, including prejudice, discrimination, and violence
Family and workplace issues relevant to lesbians and gay men
Subgroups of the lesbian and gay population that have historically been underrepresented in scientific research
These grants are made possible by a bequest from Wayne Placek, a participant in Dr. Evelyn Hooker's groundbreaking research in the 1950s which showed that homosexuality is not a form of psychopathology. Since 1995, the Placek Fund has granted more than $1 million.
