Project Key

Proto-Impact Projects  identify a team and are ready to move toward impact. It is expected that these Projects will produce impactful deliverables annually, show promise of long-term sustainability, and result in strong team applications within the Network’s submission for renewal funding 2020-2025.

Discovery Impact Projects are ready to deliver results but could use additional support to realize full impact. Projects may be new to the KBHN portfolio, but must be synergistic with previous Network research. Preference was given to projects that will strengthen the Network’s application for renewal funding 2020-2025.

Team Development Grants support the establishment of larger Impact Teams for the Network’s 2020-2025 renewal application. Activities will be focused on development of neurodevelopmental disability community needs/issues, team building, and stakeholder engagement.
