The purpose of the ASD research portfolio analysis is to collect research funding data from U.S. and international ASD research funders, to assist the IACC in fulfilling the requirements of the Combating Autism Act, and to inform stakeholders of the funding landscape and current directions for ASD research. The NIMH Office of Autism Research Coordination (OARC), on behalf of the Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC), plans to continue conducting comprehensive portfolio analyses of major autism spectrum disorder (ASD) research funders. The purpose of the ASD research portfolio analysis is to collect research funding data from U.S. and international ASD research funders, to assist the IACC in fulfilling the requirements of the Combating Autism Act, and to inform stakeholders of the funding landscape and current directions for ASD research. These analyses will continue to examine the extent to which current funding and research topics align with the IACC Strategic Plan for ASD Research, and the findings will help guide future funding priorities by outlining current gaps and opportunities in ASD research as well as serving to highlight annual activities and research progress.
