Abstract: The purpose of the annual 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 Autism Collaboration, Accountability, Research, Education and Support (CARES) Act of 2019, 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. The findings will also help to guide future funding priorities by outlining current gaps and opportunities in ASD research as well as serving to highlight annual activities and research progress.

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The slight increase in burden hours relates to an increase in the number of U.S. respondents combined with an increase in the number of projects reported by international respondents: • U.S. Funders. The number of projects for the “Federal” and “Private” categories was estimated based on the number of projects reported by these funders in the 2016 ASD Research Portfolio Analysis Report, since the same funders will be included in OARC’s proposed expanded analyses. • International Funders. The first international portfolio analysis was performed using 2016 ASD research project information. Data was included from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. Data collection methods varied among the countries. For the U.S., data had already been collected for 2016 using current data collection methods and did not require any new requests. For Canada, OARC used the same data collection method used with U.S. funders; one federal funder and two private funders were included in the international portfolio. The United Kingdom and Australia gathered funder data from a database that already maintained all the ASD research project information needed, therefore, not burdening funders with additional requests. Based on the 2016 international portfolio analysis, only 3 additional funders were contacted to provide ASD research project information.
