Federal funding cuts imperil next generation of autism researchers As the International Society for Autism Research’s annual meeting begins, its next president reflects on a brewing crisis. By Brian Boyd

According to the 2019 to 2020 report from the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee, nearly 83 percent of autism research funding comes from federal sources. Furthermore, many U.S. federal agencies fund autism research abroad; therefore, funding cuts will have global consequences for both early-career and established researchers. Those figures may seem daunting, but the small steps we can take give me hope. First, I encourage established researchers to create space for open, transparent conversations with early-career mentees about the personal and professional impacts of the current funding climate. It’s essential to recognize that researchers from marginalized backgrounds and those working with underserved communities may be disproportionately affected by these challenges. I’m looking forward to some of these conversations happening at this year’s INSAR annual meeting, the preeminent gathering of autism researchers from around the world and at all stages of their careers.

Incoming INSAR president Dr Brian Boyd kicks off #INSAR2025 by highlighting the consequences of US funding cuts for autism research.

ECRs: I'm not going to pretend to have any clear solutions. But if you'd find it helpful to have a chat, come find me at INSAR
