Studies to Advance Autism Research and Treatment (STAART) Network
|
|
As one of the responses to the Children's Health Act of 2000, NIH established
the STAART Network. Although the Act called for at least five centers of
excellence in autism research, the five NIH Institutes involved in the NIH
Autism Coordinating Committee (NIMH, NICHD, NINDS, NIDCD, & NIEHS)
funded eight centers, all of which focus on the causes, diagnosis, early
detection, prevention, and treatment of autism. Each center supports three or
more research projects, with at least one study focused on treatment. In
addition, the centers engage in multi-site clinical trials and collaborate
through meetings, interest groups, and data sharing.
