Grants awarded through this request for applications (RFA) were intended to advance the understanding of ASD through analyses of human postmortem brain tissue donated to the Autism BrainNet collection.

Through this RFA, we encouraged individual and collaborative applications that study and compare gene expression at the tissue and single-cell level. Such analyses could also have included alternative splicing/isoform analysis, RNA editing, noncoding RNAs, epigenetic modifications and/or proteomics. We also welcomed studies of cellular neuroanatomy and immunohistochemical research on identified transmitter systems. Application Available
