Applied research proposals for 2007 Autism Applied Research Competition.
The Organization for Autism Research (OAR) seeks applied research proposals for its 2007
Autism Applied Research Competition. Through this competition, OAR intends to promote
evidence based practices delivered from research in the following areas:
The analysis, evaluation, or comparison of current models of assessment, intervention, or
systems of service delivery including policy analysis,
Applied aspects of educational, behavioral, or social/communicative intervention across the
lifespan,
Adult issues such as continuing education, employment, residential supports, sexuality
instruction, quality-of-life determinants and later intervention, and
Issues related to family support, social and community integration, assessment and
intervention with challenging behavior, and the use of technology in support of learners with
ASD.
OAR seeks to fund studies of one to two years in length that will likely produce practical and
clearly objective results that promise some direct benefit for learners with autism spectrum
disorders (ASD), their families, and related service providers (e.g., teachers, classroom aides, job
coaches, speech pathologists, psychologists, etc.) at different times in their lives.
