FSU Autism Research Featured in Economic Growth Report

Autism Navigator, created by FSU faculty and staff with support from NIH, is featured in a new Science Coalition report that highlights the importance of federally funded research to U.S. economic growth. Sparking Economic Growth, How Fundamental Research Drives Economic Growth and Innovation, is the fourth in a series of reports that looks at individual companies that were seeded by federal research investments at TSC-member institutions. As captured in the report, Autism Navigator is a web-based instructional program designed to bridge the gap between science and practice. 

The report is being shared with policymakers on and off of the Hill through a series of April events that coincide with the start of the annual appropriations process and discussions of an infrastructure package.
