... They do, however, represent a rich diversity of possible directions for future research. Each research priority is organized into one of five general categories (Scientific Opportunities for Human Subjects Research, Opportunities Identified to Improve and Enhance Epidemiological Studies, Opportunities to Improve the Understanding of Autism's Pathology, Tools and Infrastructure Needs, and Opportunities for Public–Private Partnerships)
