AUTISM CRC LTD

About

Autism CRC Ltd is Australia's national cooperative research centre focused on autism, serving as the independent national source of evidence for best practice in autism across the lifespan and spectrum. Its mission is to listen, learn, and lead the translation of evidence to create positive change for autistic people and the community. The organisation supports autistic individuals, families, researchers, educators, health professionals, and employers through research, guidelines, resources, and training programs.

Giving Philosophy

Autism CRC approaches its work through collaboration with the autism community, research organisations, education and health professionals, industry and government. It values inclusion, lived experience, innovation, evidence-based practice, and independence. The organisation translates research into practical guidelines and resources, with a focus on participatory and inclusive research that embeds autistic voices throughout.

Tips for Applicants

Given this is a research-focused CRC rather than a traditional grantmaker, opportunities typically arise through partnership in their collaborative research programs or through their annual Autism CRC Awards. Prospective applicants should align with their emphasis on participatory, inclusive research and focus on practical translation of evidence. Check their website for membership opportunities, research partnerships, and the annual awards program.
