EU-AIMS European Autism Interventions - A Multicentre Study for Developing New Medications

Coordinator: F. HOFFMANN-LA ROCHE AG (CH)

Despite dramatic advances in molecular and imaging technologies, there are currently no effective pharmacological treatments for the core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Major obstructions to this include a lack of aetiologically-driven or pathophysiologically-accurate animal models; an absence of tests that indicate efficacy; and reliance of clinical trials on DSM/ICD10 categories which provide a collection of biologically heterogeneous patients. Further, even if novel treatments are developed there is no EU platform to clinically test them. Our hypothesis is that a focus on cros…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €20.5M toward a total project budget of €37.5M — a funding rate of 55%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2012-04-01 to 2018-03-31.
