Using Artificial Intelligence to diagnose Autism
Behavior Imaging for Autism Science (BIAS) Project
Research Lead is a crowdfunding platform designed to advance meaningful, high quality, and socially-driven medical research that will lead to improved health, effective treatments, and reduction of disease and illness.
How it works
Researchers submit their studies to Research Lead for screening & review.
Once approved, anyone can sponsor the research.
The studies that obtain enough support will reach their funding goal.
Research Lead allocates a grant to the researcher's institution for that specific study.
Medical research today has a funding problem. Government grants are too competitive, while industry is driven towards profits. Many brilliant research ideas go unfunded, even if they could save lives. You have very little ability to directly advance the medical causes that would make a difference in your life. Research Lead gives you the opportunity to support the research that matters to you and follow the research as it progresses.
UNDER-funded
80% of potentially impactful studies are denied competitive federal grants every year, leaving over 40,000 researchers without funding.
Profit-driven
Too much of research is directed towards profits of pharmaceutical and device companies.
Low impact
Many diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease or cancer have no cures nor highly effective treatments.
