The five NIH institutes of the IACC have established the Studies to Advance Autism Research and Treatment (STAART) Network, composed of eight network centers. They will conduct research in the fields of developmental neurobiology, genetics, and psychopharmacology. Each center is pursuing its own particular mix of studies, but there also will be multi-site clinical trials within the STAART network. The STAART centers are located at the following sites: · University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill ·  · Yale University, Connecticut [] · University of Washington, Seattle [] · University of California, Los Angeles [] · <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Mount Sinai Medical School, New York <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">[] <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msoansilanguage: EN; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontsize: 9.0pt; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Kennedy Krieger Institute, Maryland <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">[] <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msoansilanguage: EN; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontsize: 9.0pt; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Boston University, Massachusetts <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">[] <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">[] <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Parent resources: [] <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; msoansilanguage: EN; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msobidifontsize: 9.0pt; msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore;">· <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">University of Rochester, New York <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">[] <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">A data coordination center will analyze the data generated by both the STAART network and the Collaborative Programs of Excellence in Autism (CPEA).
