IdentifierIdentifier	ExplanationExplanation
Pt I Line 2	Research grants are peer-reviewed by two core groups of highly esteemed scientists and
Pt I Line 2	clinicians know as the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) and the Treatment Advisory Board (TAB).
Pt I Line 2	For any given peer review meeting, SAB and TAB coverage is augmented by additional leaders in the
Pt I Line 2	field in order to ensure that each proposal is thoroughly and carefully reviewed.
Pt I Line 2	In order to maintain fairness, all conflicts of interest on the part of panel
Pt I Line 2	members must be revealed prior to the review meeting that is held to
	evaluate and discuss all proposals. Conflicts of interest include, but are not
	limited to, employment at the same sponsoring institution and collaboration
	on recent or current research projects. More serious conflicts of interest, such as
	participation in the research itself, preclude participation in the meeting.
	All scientific evaluations of proposals for funding are thus conducted
	in the absence of reviewers who have a conflict of interest. The peer
	review panels are responsible for discussing and evaluating the scientific
	quality and merit of grant applications submitted to AS. The panel receives extensive
	instructions and uses standard guidelines for scoring grant applications. Recommendations
	of the peer review panel are then reviewed by the AS Scientific Review Panel (SRP),
	a group of highly distinguished scientific and medical experts who consider the
	research mission of AS and make recommendations on relevance and innovation as
	well as scientific merit and the overall research portfolio of AS. The SRP's
	recommendations are forwarded to the AS Board of Directors for determination of
	final funding decisions based on scientific merit, relevance and priority, and budgetary considerations.
	Most grants are funded over time and any payment (after initial funding) is
	depended on the grantee submitting progress reports, including a detailed
	accounting of expenses, and AS review of those reports to substantiate
	satisfactory progress.
	Family service community grants are reviewed by the Family Services Committee, the
	members of which are leading medical professionals and individuals with a strong
	association with autism. Similar to research grants, the AS Board of Directors
	determines which proposals to fund taking into considerations the
	recommendations of the Family Services Committee. Members of the Family Services
	staff determine the recipients of stipends awarded under the Autism Cares program. In 2011
	a total of $79,050 was awarded to 182 families affected by autism to cover critical needs or
	to deal with the aftermath of natural disasters.
