Autism Research: For Measuring And Analyzing Child Behavior, NSF Awards $10M To Develop Computing Techniques
"A team led by the Georgia Institute of Technology has received a $10 million "Expeditions in Computing" award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop novel computing techniques for measuring and analyzing the behavior of children."
"These technologies will be used to enable new approaches for identifying children at risk for autism and other developmental delays. In addition, these methods may potentially improve the delivery and evaluation of treatment."
Dr. Gregory Abowd Full, Distinguished Professor Dr. Thad Starner Associate Professor Dr. Jim Rehg Associate Professor Dr. Rosa Arriaga Senior Research Scientist

Links to organizations about grant information for technology.
According to the GLEF's Edutopia website, "our experience has shown that the most successful schools share many common traits. Here, you'll be able to learn more about these key elements and discover how specific schools have put theory into practice. You'll also find a wealth of resources to assist you in your efforts to transform schools"
Edutopia's grant Information page has links to a wide range of organizations that offer technology and related grants to educational institutions. Many of these grants have early deadlines, so if your school's team is interested in looking at these resources, start as soon as you can. Keep in mind that the George Lucas Educational Foundation (GLEF) is not a grant- offering organization. It is a great on-line resource for educators.
