Combating Autism Act Initiative: National Interdisciplinary Training Resource Center: This announcement solicits applications for the National Interdisciplinary Training Resource Center. The purpose of the Combating Autism Act Initiative (CAAI) National Interdisciplinary Training Resource Center (called the Resource Center for this funding opportunity announcement) is to improve the health of infants, children, and adolescents who have, or are at risk for developing, autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other developmental disabilities (DD), including children with hearing loss, by providing technical assistance to the network of interdisciplinary training programs in neurodevelopmental and related disabilities programs (similar to the programs developed under 501(a)(2) of the Social Security Act) in States that do not have such a program (such as the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Other Related Disabilities (LEND), the Developmental-Behavioral Pediatrics (DBP) programs, and others). The goal of these programs is to better train professionals to utilize valid and reliable screening tools to diagnose or rule out and provide evidence-based interventions for children with ASD and other developmental disabilities. The Resource Center will assist training grantees in accomplishing these activities and ensure coordination of CAAI projects.
