Eagles Autism Foundation contributes $6.2 million to fund 34 research and community projects.
The Eagles Autism Foundation has announced that 34 projects specializing in cutting-edge autism research and care will receive $6.2 million in funding. The grants are a direct result of the proceeds raised by participants from the 2023 Eagles Autism Challenge, in addition to other foundation-related fundraising initiatives throughout the year.
A total of 70 letters of intent were submitted for research grant funding. The projects were narrowed down to 40 full proposals that went through a comprehensive evaluation process. Each project was carefully reviewed by an independent team of scientists who have demonstrated a clear and steadfast commitment to autism research, services, and programs. It was then determined that 14 research projects would be awarded to Bar Ilan University, Brown University, Child Mind Institute, Drexel University, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Seattle Children’s Research Institute, UC Davis, UCLA, University of Iowa, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Washington University School of Medicine, and the Yale Child Study Center.
