Holland Bloorview and SickKids granted up to USD $17.25 million international research grant
The Hospital for Sick Children
Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital (Holland Bloorview) and The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have been awarded a grant of up to USD $17.25 million from Aligning Research to Impact Autism (ARIA).
The funding supports a multi-year study, positioning the two sites as part of a global clinical trial readiness program designed to accelerate the development of new therapies for autism and related neurodevelopmental conditions, including rare genetic disorders. The teams are joining the ARIA Innovative Medicine and Precision Approaches to Clinical Trials (IMPACT) Network, an international collaborative of sites working together to accelerate clinical trial readiness and therapeutic development for autism and related conditions.
The collaboration brings together two institutions with a long history of partnership—Holland Bloorview and SickKids—working as a unified team to support future therapeutic development. Together, the institutions combine strengths in genomics, biomarker science, neuroimaging and clinical trials to support children and youth with autism and related conditions, including those with the most complex needs who have been historically underrepresented in clinical research.
