NIMH announces the release of two new funding opportunities to support experienced investigators seeking to redirect or expand their research programs to address autism services research for adults and transition-age youth.
- NIMH Career Enhancement Award to Advance Autism Services Research for Adults and Transition-Age Youth (K18 Clinical Trials Not Allowed) (RFA-MH-19-100). Applications due on October 22, 2018.
- NIMH Career Enhancement Award to Advance Autism Services Research for Adults and Transition-Age Youth (K18 Clinical Trials Required) (RFA-MH-19-101) Applications due on October 22, 2018.
These time-limited announcements have two receipt dates: October 22, 2018, and June 21, 2019, by 5 PM local time of the applicant organization. Applications submitted in October but not funded are eligible to revise and resubmit in June.
The program will support research training and career development experiences and a small-scale research project that provides experienced investigators with the scientific competencies required to conduct research relevant to services for adults or transition-age youth with ASD. Eligible candidates are independent investigators at any faculty rank or level.
A project period of 12-14 months may be requested. Applicants are encouraged to apply early to allow time to correct application errors prior to the submission deadline.

Thursday, August 9, 2018, 12 PM ET
A one-time, pre-application technical assistance webinar will provide an overview of the FOA and address questions pertinent to preparing an application. Participation is strongly encouraged but not required for those who plan to apply.
You will receive a confirmation email with instructions for joining the session. Prospective applicants are encouraged to submit questions or comments regarding the FOA to Nicole North at least 48 hours prior to the webinar. Please indicate "ASD Webinar" in the subject line. The webinar link will be sent out to registered participants on August 8.
