'''Cure Autism Now''' (CAN) is an organization of parents, clinicians and leading scientists committed to accelerating the pace of biomedical research in [[autism]] through raising money for research projects, education and outreach. Founded by Jonathan Shestack and [[http://strangeson.com Portia Iversen]], the parents of a child with autism, in 1995, the organization has grown from a kitchen-table effort to a provider of support for autism research and scientific resources. The organization's primary focus is to fund essential research through a variety of programs designed to encourage innovative approaches toward identifying the causes, prevention, treatment and a cure for autism and related disorders. |
|||
Since its founding, Cure Autism Now has committed more than $39 million in research, the establishment and ongoing support of the [[Autism Genetic Resource Exchange]] (AGRE), and numerous outreach and awareness activities aimed at families, physicians, governmental officials and the general public. |
|||
On Feb. 1, 2007, CAN announced that it was combining operations with [[Autism Speaks]]. |
