Learn about OAR-Funded Research Projects
We host annual research competitions to support pilot studies in applied autism research. The projects we fund have the potential to directly impact the day-to-day quality of life of autistic people. Since 2002, we have awarded more than $5 million in grants to support 359 studies.
