NAAR and Genetic Research Funding

NAAR is the National Alliance for Autism Research. This organization merged with Autism Speaks (WHEN) and raises money every year for autism research. One of the approaches that NAAR takes to raising funds for the study of autistic disorders is through annual fundraisers.

Various cities across the United States and Canada participate in Walk FAR (For Autism Research) fundraisers. The focus of the research conducted through NAAR funding is biomedical and genetic.

The National Alliance for Autism Research also receives funding through the private sector as well as corporations. The programs available through NAAR include the Autism Tissue Program and research organizations like TGen.
