Jan 4 - Simons Foundation: Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI)The mission of the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) is to improve the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorders by driving, catalyzing and funding research of the greatest quality and relevance. Investigators may submit three types of applications:1) SFARI Pilot Awards provide resources to support exploratory experiments that will strengthen hypotheses and lead to the formulation of competitive applications for subsequent larger-scale funding by the Simons Foundation or other organizations. Innovative high-risk, high-impact proposals are encouraged. Junior and senior investigators who are new to the field of autism should consider applying for a Pilot Award rather than an Individual Award.2) SFARI Individual Awards provide resources to support compelling high-impact research performed by single laboratories. The foundation expects that in most cases, the feasibility of the proposed experiments will be strengthened by appropriate preliminary data.3) SFARI Project Awards provide resources for multiple independent labs to work on an experimental hypothesis for which preliminary data have already been gathered and the expertise of the collaborators in the field has already been proven.**In addition to the SFARI Awards described above, the Foundation plans to initiate a new SFARI Rolling Small Award program, where applications will be considered at any time for rapid review and support. This Rolling Small Award program will provide timely resources on a one-time basis, not to exceed $50,000, to support focused experiments highly relevant to the SFARI mission. Further information about this program will be forthcoming in the first half of 2011**AMOUNT: - $125,000/year for one to two years, for SFARI Pilot Awards;- $350,000/year for two to three years, for SFARI Individual Awards;- $1,000,000/year for three years, for SFARI Project Awards; and- 20 percent for indirect costs is included in the total award amount per year.LOI DEADLINE: January 4, 2011INVITED APPLICATION DEADLINE: April 4, 2011WEBSITE: https://sfari.org/2011-rfa

Autism Speaks: Trailblazer AwardAutism Speaks places a high priority on innovation and has designed its new Trailblazer Award to respond quickly to arising opportunities and highly novel ideas. The Trailblazer Award mechanism will support highly novel “out of the box” autism-relevant research that addresses significant roadblocks or that can open new avenues to understanding the causes, diagnosis, subtyping, prevention, treatments, and cure of autism spectrum disorders. The Trailblazer Award mechanism is designed to fund small investigator-initiated high risk/high impact projects that are potentially transformative. Good fits include: 1) projects that may be too risky for regular research mechanisms, including the Autism Speaks pilot study research grants, and/or 2) studies that are time-sensitive in their ability to leverage an exceptional opportunity for conducting highly innovative and relevant ASD research. The proposed Trailblazer project:

Must explore a highly novel idea or research technique that potentially could have high impact, i.e., have the capacity to change the way we diagnose, subtype, prevent, and/or treat ASD or the way we conduct relevant research on ASD.

Is not required to have preliminary data. Should be considered risky as to not likely be supported though other AS grants

programs, including pilot studies. May come from newer or established investigators with demonstrated expertise and

experience in autism and/or from investigators in non-autism areas of research that will be applied directly to autism research.

Canadian Health Services Research Foundation Decision Support Synthesis ProgramThe foundation's Decision Support Synthesis program aims to contribute the best available evidence to decision-making in a particular policy or management context. Decision support syntheses are driven by the information needs of decision makers and produce recommendations for policy and management through a deliberative process that involves key stakeholders. These syntheses incorporate different types and sources of evidence, including research results and promising practices. Decision support syntheses are distinct from knowledge support syntheses. Knowledge support syntheses summarize the research evidence and strive for greater general applicability and contribution to the knowledge pool. Cochrane-style systematic reviews are examples of high quality knowledge support syntheses. Decision support syntheses, on the other hand, include summarizing evidence as well as other tasks required to support decision-making in a particular context, such as determining recommendations for action and considering factors

Relation between Education and Social OpportunityThe Spencer Foundation provides funding for research projects that study education in the United States and abroad. The foundation funds research grants that range in size from smaller grants that can be completed within a year, to larger, multi-year endeavors. The foundation seeks to shed light on the role education plays in reducing economic and social inequalities - as well as, sometimes, reinforcing them - and to find ways to more fully realize education's potential to promote more equal opportunity. Expanded opportunity is important not only to a society's economic well being but to the character of its civic, cultural, and social life as well.

Education enriches and expands people's lives in many ways, including through their employment opportunities, their civic and political involvements, and the quality of their personal lives. The foundation's interests therefore extend to studies that examine the ways in which differences in educational experiences (including quality and character of schooling as well as number of years in school) translate into differences in employment, earnings, and civic and social outcomes. Such work can help identify ways to change schooling investments and outcomes in the interests of a more just and prosperous society.AMOUNT: $5,000 - $400,000 (indirect costs 15% for grants great than $50,000)DEADLINE: ContinuousWEBSITE: http://www.spencer.org/content.cfm/education-and-social-opportunity

Canadian Health Services Research Foundation Commissioned Activities: Policy Synthesis ProgramWorking with decision-maker partners who are developing health policy options, the Canadian Health Services Research Foundation (CHSRF) commissions researchers to synthesize evidence and experience in a specified area. The foundation will disseminate these peer-reviewed policy syntheses in English and French to both co-sponsor partners and the health services community. Both researchers and policy makers can use the Policy Synthesis Program.

Page 36 of 49

A policy synthesis draws together published literature, grey literature, decision makers' experience, and researchers' knowledge and experience to make best practice recommendations for a specified area of policy development under active consideration by identified and interested decision makers.

Researchers may contact CHSRF to express interest in being available for the program. If an interested researcher's area becomes the focus of one of CHSRF's commissioning exercises the researcher will be invited (at CHSRF expense) to the kick-off Round Table. At this event decision makers and researchers, all active in the area, debate the scope of the synthesis and the issues it should address. Researchers may then submit a bid for the commission.

For policy makers charged with reforming some area of health services, the foundation might be able to assist by acting as the broker and convenor, offering opportunities to brainstorm with researchers and other decision makers active in the area. At the end of the process policy makers also get a high-quality peer-reviewed synthesis of the relevant research and experience to inform their final decisions. From beginning to end, the policy synthesis process takes a year or even longer. But for less than policy makers are likely spend on consultants, they can get the expertise of Canada's health services research community.DEADLINE: ContinuousWEBSITE: http://www.chsrf.org/funding_opportunities/commissioned_research/index_e.php

Max Bell Foundation Project GrantsThe Max Bell Foundation reflects the spirit and intent of its founder to improve Canadian society. The foundation encourages the development of innovative ideas that impact public policies and practices with an emphasis on health and wellness, education, and the environment. The foundation will consider supporting projects that fit their mission, strategy, and granting guidelines, and that fall within or bridge their program areas.

In the area of health and wellness, the foundation is interested in supporting projects that promote good health in the broadest sense. They are particularly interested in identifying practical, alternative approaches to the creation and maintenance of the programs and policies that shape Canada's health care practices.

Max Bell Foundation believes education is a cornerstone of a flourishing, productive society. Canada's education institutions face many challenges as changing needs, attitudes, economies, and technologies shift the ground in which they are rooted. The foundation seeks to support research projects that focus on innovative ways in which our education institutions meet those challenges. Of particular interest are those projects which address the thoughtful use of technology and alternative institutional arrangements.

In the area of the environment, the foundation seeks to support projects that understand and take account of the social and economic contexts in which environmental concerns emerge as public policy and practice.

Ontario Mental Health Foundation Grants for Publications, Conferences and Public EventsThe Foundation operates a modest program to support publications, conferences, and other public events which cannot readily be classified as publications or conferences.  Applicants may apply for partial support from the Foundation to be combined with other sources. Publications support includes: The publication of monographs to include material of a greater length than would ordinarily be

accepted by a scientific journal. Publications devoted to broader themes than would usually be dealt with in monograph form

(these might be for example, multi-authored, edited volumes on wider issues of relevance to the objectives of the Foundation).

The publication of material of a more general educational character in the field of mental health (subsidy might, for example, be given for publications that deal with the dissemination of new principles or research discoveries, and that help to transfer these into practice).  A variety of forms of publication will be considered, e.g., video tapes, lecture series.

The Foundation will consider providing financial assistance for conferences or meetings when the topics proposed are relevant to mental health and the application of research data to prevention, treatment or rehabilitation of the mentally ill.  Informal meetings of researchers to exchange data and research methods will be eligible for support if they are advertised in such a way that students and interested workers in Ontario will be able to attend.   AMOUNT: Up to $2,500.DEADLINE: Foundation must receive the application no less than four months prior to the date to allow sufficient time for review.
