National Autism Resource and Information Center: The Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announces the availability of Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 funds to award a cooperative agreement to plan and implement one National Autism Resource and Information Center. This funding opportunity will establish a national resource and information center on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. Guided by the principles of inclusion, integration, independence, and self-determination, the center will gather, organize, and make publicly available readily accessible, high-quality resources and information related to community-based services that support independent living and self-determination, treatment protocols that promote community-based experiences (e.g. education, employment, recreation, transportation, early intervention and child care), and evidence-based interventions. The targeted audience for the resources and information is the community of diverse stakeholders concerned with ASD, including people with ASD and other developmental disabilities, families, guardians, advocates, researchers, practitioners, trainers, policy makers and members of the general public. The purpose of the Center does not include communication, outreach or support for development or dissemination of subjective opinions (including opinions regarding the etiology of autism) about ASD and other disabilities.
