OAR, in partnership with the Autism Intervention Research Network on Physical Health (AIR-P), invites autistic individuals and the people close to them, such as parents, educators, and health care professionals, to submit an application for the annual Community Grant Competition. As in years past, OAR and AIR-P remain dedicated to developing innovative and practical solutions that promote the quality of life of autistic individuals. Beginning this year, OAR and AIR-P will fund up to seven awards with grants ranging between $1,000 to $15,000 each, increasing the maximum award by $5,000.
A full list of this year’s project priorities can be found in the Request for Applications. The application period opened on October 11 and will close on April 21, 2025. Winners will be notified in August 2025, with the grant period starting as early as September 1 and lasting through August 31, 2026. Previously funded community grant resources are available for more information and for use.
Interested applicants can apply for a grant through the application portal. For questions or comments, please email programs@researchautism.org.
