Description

The National Alliance for Autism Research (NAAR) is the first organization in the U.S. dedicated to funding and accelerating biomedical research focusing on autism spectrum disorders. Established in 1994 by parents of children with autism concerned about the limited amount of funding available for autism research, NAAR was created in a spirit of optimism and excitement over the opportunities for accelerating the pace of autism research. This spirit continues to guide the organization today, enabled by recent advances in the neurosciences and other scientific fields. NAAR is a 501 (c) (3) organization - contributions which are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

The research initially funded by NAAR has made a dramatic impact on the autism research landscape in the United States, Canada and Europe and has been leveraged into more than $53 million in autism research awards by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and other funding sources.

Autism Speaks is a 501(c)(3) organization, contributions to which are tax-deductible as permitted by law.
