Graduate Research Grant Competition

Organization for Autism Research (OAR)

OAR invites research proposals for its annual Graduate Research Grant Program. Note that these grants are for independent research studies only. Through this competition, OAR intends to promote research in the following areas: the analysis, evaluation, or comparison of assessment models, treatment models, or service systems, applied aspects of early intervention and/or school-based education, behavioral, or communication intervention, adult issues such as continuing education, employment, housing models and “later intervention”, issues related to family support, social and community integration, and assessment and intervention with challenging behavior. OAR seeks to fund studies that will likely produce practical and clearly objective results that may aid parents, families, professionals, and people with autism to make more fully informed choices that will lead to healthier and happier lives.
