Abstract: This is a revision of a currently approved request where the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Office of National Autism Coordination (ONAC), 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 annual autism 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 2024, 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 Autism Research, Services, and Policy. 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 research activities and progress.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Compared to the previous application, there is a slight increase in burden hours per data call due to an increase in the number of U.S. respondents and an increase in the number of projects reported by these respondents. The number of U.S. federal and private funders and number of projects were estimated based on data in the 2021-2022 Autism Research Portfolio Analysis Report (in progress), since the same funders will be included in ONAC’s future analyses. This number of funders has grown from 26 in 2020 to 33 funders in 2022, and the number of autism research projects has grown from 1,573 projects in 2020 to 1,705 projects in 2022. Compared to the previous application, there is a slight increase in the annualized total cost to the federal government due to inflation and staffing changes.
