Research Scholar Funds
The Thompson Center for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders seeks to encourage developmental science research that contributes to our understanding of autism spectrum disorders. To this end, Thompson Research Scholar Funds have been established as an internal funding mechanism to promote research conducted by University of Missouri faculty. These funds will support research that is likely to lead to extramural funding, with the highest priority placed on projects that include interdisciplinary collaboration.
The next application deadline is December 15, 2008.
