Autism Speaks Research on Central Auditory Processing Disorders (CAPD): Pilot Grant and Fellowship Funding

Autism Speaks and Royal Arch Research Assistance


Agency: Foundation

GrantWatch ID #199574

Grant Description

Grants of up to $60,000 and fellowships of $40,000 and $55,000 to USA, Canada, and International investigators, doctoral students, and early career MDs, and PhDs to study central auditory processing disorders. Applicants are required to submit an LOI prior to a full grant application. Funding is intended for research, treatments, and clinical approaches related to CAPD.

CAPD, also known as auditory processing disorder (APD), includes a range of conditions within the ear and brain that affect the way individuals process information that they hear. This RFA seeks proposals for research that will elucidate the relationship of auditory processes to neurobehavioral manifestations, the potential for treatments directed at auditory processes pathology to improve neurobehavior and the best clinical approaches to the evaluation and treatment of CAPD. Proposals should advance the clinical management of CAPD and associated neurobehavioral challenges by using one of the following methods:

  • Clinical assessment research
  • Clinical intervention research
  • Identifying pathophysiologic mechanisms that are amenable to clinical translation in the very near term

Note: Applications that include the availability of better treatments both for underlying pathology as well as co-existing conditions that decrease quality of life for those with autism will be of particular interest.

The pilot or fellowship proposals most likely to be funded under this RFA will exhibit the following qualities:

  • Be based on compelling scientific rationale, derived either from preclinical or preliminary clinical research;
  • Address the heterogeneity of etiology and presentation, either by restricting enrollment to specific, well-justified subgroups or through a scientific plan that identifies markers of stratification;
  • For interventional research, include examination of the mechanisms or mediators through which neurobehavioral effects are achieved;
  • Include a power analysis demonstrating a likelihood of producing statistically and clinically meaningful results. This should include sufficient reserve power for exploratory analyses (if included);
  • Have a proven capacity to enroll an adequately sized cohort of subjects in a timely manner.
