Service to the Profession
The International Society for Autism Research (INSAR) is a scientific and professional organization devoted to advancing knowledge about autism spectrum disorders. INSAR was formed in 2001 and is governed by an elected, volunteer Board of Directors who oversee all functions of the Society. Various committees assist the Board in carrying out the mission of the Society.
INSAR offers annual membership in three categories of membership. Membership benefits and application process details can be found at Membership. The Society holds an annual scientific meeting - the International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR). Information about past and future IMFAR meetings can be found at the IMFAR Annual Meeting. In additional to the annual meetings, INSAR has contracted with John Wiley and Sons, Inc, to publish the Society's research journal, Autism Research. An online subscription to our journal is just one benefit of INSAR membership. http://www.autism-insar.org/
Service to Duke
The DIBS mission is to promote interdisciplinary brain science and translate discoveries into solutions for health and society.
The Duke Center for Autism and Brain Development is dedicated to helping each individual with autism and related developmental disabilities reach his or her full potential, thereby allowing society to benefit from the talents and diversity which persons with autism and other developmental disabilities offer. We are a group of dedicated clinicians and scientists who work in partnership with people with autism and related disabilities, families, and the broader community to realize this goal.
With the support of Duke University, research grants, and philanthropy, we offer state-of-the-art interdisciplinary clinical care, conduct cutting-edge research that improves lives, inspire and train the next generation of scientists and clinicians, and partner with the community to impact policy and services. We promote synergies between the clinical and research programs so we can translate scientific discoveries into improved methods for screening, diagnosis, and treatment in the clinic and community.
The Duke Center for Autism and Brain Development is part of the Duke University School of Medicine and the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences, whose mission is to conduct research that transforms our understanding of brain function and translates into innovative solutions for health and society. http://autismcenter.duke.edu/
