Autism Speaks is committed to facilitating research that will uncover the causes of autism, develop effective biomedical treatments, and hasten the discovery of a cure. We are committed to researching all potential causes of autism and we invite researchers to submit grant proposals covering a wide spectrum of ideas.

Autism Speaks' scientific agenda is spearheaded by Dr. Gary Goldstein, president of the Kennedy Krieger Institute at Johns Hopkins University and chair of Autism Speaks' scientific advisory committee. Click here to read an interview with Dr. Gary Goldstein on the current focus of autism research.
