Powering collaborative research in neurodevelopment and neurodevelopmental conditions
With generous support from the Azrieli Foundation, the Azrieli Accelerator brings together transdisciplinary research teams across UCalgary to accelerate research and create impact in our priority areas.聽
Building connections across campus and beyond
The Azrieli Accelerator fosters a culture of collaboration. We connect researchers from different disciplines to help them share their expertise and creativity. We build capacity for researchers to work with community, and for community members with lived experience to become partners in research.
Message from the Director
鈥淲e welcome the opportunity to work with groups across UCalgary and strengthen transdisciplinary collaborations across campus in the fields of neurodevelopment, neurodiversity, and neurodevelopmental conditions. The Azrieli Accelerator is designed to be a launching pad for new research, and a catalyst for change."

Exploring neurodevelopment across the lifespan
Neurodevelopmental conditions, including autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, intellectual disability, FASD, rare chromosomal conditions and cerebral palsy, affect the brain鈥檚 development of neurological pathways that influence performance or functioning. It's important to note that these conditions are not just childhood disabilities. They persist throughout the life course and require different strategies for supports and interventions at different stages to ensure people living with these conditions can thrive.
