"The National Institutes of Health announced plans for the $50 million grant project this summer to "identify how existing treatments/interventions are used and better understand their outcomes to inform the design of future clinical studies." The funding comes after the administration had previously announced controversial plans to study autism, including a proposed database of individuals with autism comprised of information from sources ranging from pharmacy chains and hospitals, to wearable devices with health sensors, like smartwatches."
""Autism is a very, very complex disease, both from the cause and the measurement, the diagnosis, and the spectrum of autism," said Judy Zhong, chief of the Division of Biostatistics in the Department of Population Health Sciences at Weill Cornell Medical College. "So that is why when we wrote the [grant] application, we listed three steps to do rigorous scientific replication for autism.""
Cornell University researchers received $5.1 million from the Autism Data Science Initiative to create a verification center for autism research. The National Institutes of Health launched a $50 million project to identify how existing treatments and interventions are used and to better understand outcomes for designing future clinical studies. The administration previously proposed a database linking pharmacy, hospital, and wearable device data for individuals with autism. Judy Zhong characterized autism as highly complex across causes, measurement, diagnosis, and spectrum, and will lead the Autism Replication, Validation, and Reproducibility Center. The center will apply an R squared replication pipeline to reproduce model results on new data and compare performance claims.
