FASD affects an estimated 1.1 to 5% of the general population, with rates even higher in special populations and systems of care. Yet, most people with FASD go undiagnosed and few, if any, FASD-informed services are available in the community.<\/p>\n<p>People with FASD and their families have important questions for researchers. They need answers to inform decision-making about their health and quality of life. Some examples are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How do we increase FASD awareness and services in education, health, legal, disability, child welfare, and other sectors?<\/li>\n<li>Is aging accelerated in people with FASD? What is the impact of prenatal alcohol exposure on development and the course of chronic health conditions?<\/li>\n<li>What are the effects of long-term exposure to chronic stress, higher neurological workload, and chronic health conditions in those with prenatal exposures?<\/li>\n<li>Are there biomarkers that might support diagnosis when alcohol-exposure history is unavailable or that might assist in predicting treatment response?<\/li>\n<li>What medications or treatments might help with symptom management?<\/li>\n<li>How do we reduce the pervasive stigma surrounding prenatal alcohol exposure and FASD?<\/li>\n<li>What strategies help implementation of interventions in clinical and community settings?<\/li>\n<li>How to best engage individuals with FASD and their families in research and policy?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have relevant expertise to help answer these or other important questions?<\/strong> Researchers with skills in other disabilities, mental health, other developmental exposures, trauma and adversity, chronic health conditions, aging, and many other areas may benefit from the opportunity to consider prenatal alcohol exposure in their research!\u00a0 We hope you consider applying for this pilot program, even if you are new to the area of prenatal alcohol exposure or FASD.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Application Information<\/p>\n<p><\/strong>Applications are currently closed.
