Hypertext Rapid Application Framework (HTRAF): An innovative application-development layer enables rapid delivery of web applications for autism research and autism funding decisions

Despite tremendous progress in web-development technologies, building custom data-driven web applications remains out of reach for most research programs. Application development costs too much, takes too long, and requires too many technical skills. A technology platform that significantly speeds and simplifies development would bridge the gap between limited budgets and capabilities and researchers’ need for powerful web tools for interacting with data.
