How can I apply to become an ATN site?
ATN sites are selected for the network through a competitive grant application process. The next Request for Applications is scheduled for release in early 2010. Please check back for more information.
Detailed information regarding the requirements will be available with the RFA. Sites must minimally meet these requirements and provide these services.
What types of opportunities are available for researchers?
Patient Registry Database
The Autism Treatment Network supports a Patient Registry of families being seen at the participating ATN centers. The ATN Patient Registry data is currently only available for members within the network, but we plan in the future to make this resource available for use more widely.
Clinical Research
To provide additional data to support the development of evaluation and treatment guidelines, ATN clinicians also conduct clinical research projects directly aimed at improving children's health and healthcare.
Researchers interested in collaborating with ATN members on topics relevant to the network are encouraged to contact our Research Manager.
One of the ATN's most significant endeavors is its participation in the Health Services and Resources Administration's (HRSA) Combating Autism Act Initiatives. The ATN will serve as the Autism Intervention Network for Physical Health (AIR-P) for this initiative.
Collaborative Research Opportunities
AIR-P Network RFA – Pilot Research Support
The Autism Treatment Network (ATN), through the support of the AIR-P Network, requests applications for two levels of pilot-supported research projects for participating members. Researchers outside of the network may participate in a project led by a currently funded ATN center.
