Private initiative makes ‘historic’ investment in autism research
Aligning Research to Impact Autism (ARIA) has committed more than $450 million to build a multidisciplinary research network focused on uncovering the roots of profound autism and developing treatments. The initiative has announced approximately $300 million in funding since June, an amount that rivals the U.S. National Institutes of Health's annual autism research budget.
What this means for clinicians: A major new private funding source is entering autism research, potentially accelerating treatment development for profound autism.
