Description
The Autism Centers of Excellence (ACE) program, led by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) in partnership with several other NIH institutes, aims to support innovative, multidisciplinary research centers focused on autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The upcoming Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will use the P50 Research Program Projects and Centers mechanism to fund collaborative research that builds on over two decades of ACE progress, leveraging new technologies and scientific methods. The program encourages meaningful collaborations across scientific disciplines to address complex questions in autism research. This forecast is issued to provide researchers with time to develop responsive, collaborative projects before the formal solicitation is released.
