In September, 2005, the Foundation announced a pledge of
$1.2 million to establish the Marino Autism Research Institute
(MARI). MARI is the first philanthropically funded “virtual
institute” designed to develop and implement cutting-edge
research, including clinical studies and training, to address
key questions about the causes of autism spectrum disorder
and their treatment.
The Dan Marino Foundation funding supports researchers, improved
clinical service delivery, and clinical education at the University
of Miami in Miami and Vanderbilt University in Nashville.
Programs supported by MARI include research and education
in genetics, electrophysiology, and brain imaging, as well
as clinical and educational initiatives.
