One of our goals at Autism Speaks is to identify and support promising research with the hope that results from these efforts will produce significant findings that will be reported in peer-reviewed journals. We also hope that grants we fund will lead to additional research support from government or other funding agencies. Since 1997, the organizations combined have committed more than $89 million to fund more than 737 research projects and fellowships. The investment in these research grants alone has been leveraged into nearly $153 million in NIH and other funding for the continuation of these scientific studies. Grants: Each year Autism Speaks holds a variety of investigator-initiated grant calls. We are pleased to be able to support many different types of projects, each critical for advancing all phases of autism research, from basic to clinical to treatment. These grants are crucial for allowing investigators to gain enough data to be able to attract even larger, multi-year commitments from the NIH and other traditional medical research funding organizations. Our grants include pilot grants, basic and clinical grants, augmentation and bridge grants, treatment and technology grants. Fellowships: Fellowships provide the necessary resources to support and encourage the development of young scientists who benefit from the mentorship of prominent researchers. We believe the investment in autism research training will grow exponentially as many of our fellows later assume teaching roles and join departments around the country and the world, many of which currently have no representation in autism research. Please note that in addition to our investigator-initiated grants and fellowships, we also support research through funding of proactive initiatives, including collaborative projects, resources and meetings.

Database to explore known and predicted interactions of chemicals and proteins. It integrates information about interactions from metabolic pathways, crystal structures, binding experiments and drug-target relationships. Inferred information from phenotypic effects, text mining and chemical structure similarity is used to predict relations between chemicals. STITCH further allows exploring the network of chemical relations, also in the context of associated binding proteins. Each proposed interaction can be traced back to the original data sources. The database contains interaction information for over 68,000 different chemicals, including 2200 drugs, and connects them to 1.5 million genes across 373 genomes and their interactions contained in the STRING database.

A 20 year, 20,000 person, open longitudinal epidemiological study of a cohort town. GAZEL was not constructed to answer a specific question rather it was designed to help analyze a wide range of scientific problems and is accessible to the community of researchers specializing in epidemiology. Translation is not available for all pages. The GAZEL cohort, set up in 1989 by Inserm Unit 88 (subsequently Unit 687), in cooperation with several departments of ��lectricit�� de France-Gaz de France (EDF-GDF), was a public utility firm in France involved in production, transmission and distribution of energy. GAZEL initially included 20 624 volunteers working at EDF-GDF (15 010 men and 5614 women), aged from 35 to 50 years. In accordance with its purpose as a scientific research platform, the GAZEL cohort is permanently open to epidemiologic research teams. Today, more than 50 projects on very diversified themes have been set up in GAZEL by some 20 teams, French, belonging to different bodies, and foreign (Germany, Belgium, Canada, Great Britain, Sweden, Finland, and USA).

A group blog providing expert, independent commentary on the personal genomics industry. The goal of the project is to provide genetic testing consumers with independent and informed analysis of developments in the field of genetics and the genetic testing industry. Members of Genomes Unzipped include active researchers in various fields of genetics, as well as specialists in the legal and public health issues surrounding new genomic technologies. Many of us have also been extensively involved in public communication about genetics. Members of the group have had their DNA tested with a variety of products. We have released all of these genetic data openly to the public, both as raw data and in a custom genome browser. As the project proceeds we plan to obtain more genetic tests ����?? up to and including whole genome sequencing ����?? and to continue to release these data to the world. The group is also performing analyses of our own raw genetic data to illustrate fundamental concepts in genetics, using software written both by group members and other collaborators; and we����??ll be releasing the code for that software in our new code repository. As the project expands, we����??ll be looking to add data from other volunteers to the project, as well as to collaborate with other ����??genome hackers����?? on the development of new tools for exploring genetic data.

A web-based, interactive brain atlas viewer, containing a growing number of atlas templates for various species, including mouse, macaque and human. Standard features include fast brain region lookup, point and click to select a region and view its full 3D extent, mark a stereotaxic coordinate and view all regions in a hierarchy. Built-in extensions are the CoCoMac plugin, which provides a spatial display of Macaque connectivity, and a service to transform stereotaxic coordinates to and from the INCF Waxholm space for the mouse. Three dimensional renderings of brain regions are available through a Matlab interface (local installation of Matlab required). The SBA is designed to be customizable. External users can create plugins, hosted on their own servers, to interactively attach images or data to spatial atlas locations. This fully web-based display engine for brain atlases and topologies allows client websites to show brain region related data in a 3D interactive context. Currently available atlases are: * Macaque: The Paxinos Rhesus Monkey atlas (2000) * Macaque: Various templates available through Caret, registered to F99 space: Felleman and Van Essen (1991), Lewis and Van Essen (2000), Regional Map from K��tter and Wanke (2005), Paxinos Rhesus Monkey (2000) * Macaque: The NeuroMaps Macaque atlas (2008) * Mouse: The INCF Waxholm Space for the mouse (2011). Previous versions available. * Mouse: The Allen Mouse Brain volumetric atlas (ABA07) * Human: The LPBA40 parcellation, registered to SRI24 space A variety of services are being developed around the templates contained in the Scalable Brain Atlas. For example, you can include thumbnails of brain regions in your own webpage. Other applications include: * Analyze atlas templates in Matlab * List all regions belonging to the given template * List of supported atlas templates * Find region by coordinate * Color-coded PNG (bitmap) or SVG (vector) image of a brain atlas slice * Region thumbnail in 2D (slice) or 3D (stack of slices) The Scalable Brain Atlas is created by Rembrandt Bakker and Gleb Bezgin, under supervision of Rolf K��tter in the NeuroPhysiology and -Informatics group of the Donders Institute, Radboud UMC Nijmegen.
