Grants ASF’s new Post-Doctoral “Save Our Scientists” award is being released in response to changing conditions regarding federal support for autism research. ASF is committed to supporting postdoctoral autism researchers whose work aims to improve the lives of people with autism.
This new mechanism is designed to provide existing postdoctoral fellows with additional flexible support to ensure their continued success as early career autism researchers. Funds should be used to support research costs, travel, training opportunities, supplies, data access, research participant support, and other direct expenses. It is not intended to serve as a full Post-Doctoral stipend.
Funds may be transferred to a different institution when a fellow is promoted to a tenure track position or moves institutions. The Post-Doctoral fellow’s research must be scientifically linked to autism.
Autism Science Foundation will consider all areas of basic and clinical research including but not limited to: human behavior across the lifespan (language, learning, communication, social function, epilepsy, sleep, self-injurious behavior, catatonia), neurobiology (anatomy, development, neuro-imaging), pharmacology, neuropathology, human genetics, genomics, epigenetics, epigenomics, immunology, molecular and cellular mechanisms, studies employing model organisms and systems, and studies of treatment, service delivery, policy and employment.
Priority will be given to studies that focus on profound autism and/or include participants with profound autism. In addition, we are particularly interested in sex differences, females, research that answers questions about why there is a 4:1 difference in diagnosis in males vs. females. The Autism Science Foundation will make a number of awards based on available financial resources.
Awards of up to $25,000 will be made directly to the institution sponsoring the research to support specific direct expenses as described in the application budget. Applicants must be a current post-doctoral fellow with an accredited college or university, or be in a post-doctoral fellowship at the time the funding begins.
Individuals from both outside and within the United States are eligible to apply, regardless of where their research is being conducted. Click here to view RFA for 2027 Post-Doc S. O.

ARPA-H launched SPECTRA on September 17, 2026 under solicitation ARPA-H-SOL-26-163 — four technical areas with separate Solution Summary deadlines on October 18, December 2, and January 18. The enabling-technologies area closes first, five weeks after launch. Here is why the sequencing matters and how to read each TA.
Read articleOn August 26, 2026, NSF named the STC class of 2026: TEMPEST at Michigan State, GENIE at Northwestern, and a human-robot co-adaptation center at UT Austin. $90 million total, $6 million a year each. The 2023 class was four centers and $120 million. The award size is intact; the shelf space shrank 25 percent — and that is the number that should reshape how you plan a center proposal.
Read articleNIH published its 'what we heard' summary on the proposed cap on simultaneous Research Project Grants in August 2026. A four-RPG cap would free $1.3 billion for about 1,900 additional investigators; a two-RPG cap would free roughly $3.5 billion for about 5,200. Respondents overwhelmingly proposed alternatives. Here is what the comment record actually says, what NIH signaled about next steps, and how PIs and research offices should position before a policy notice lands.
