Through support from the Combating Autism Act of 2006, the MCH Research Program supports research networks and research projects on evidence-based practices for interventions to improve the health and well-being of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other developmental disabilities (DD). Currently supported projects include 2 Autism Intervention Research Networks, 1 Developmental Behavioral Pediatrics Research Network, 12 autism intervention research grants, and 5 one-year secondary data analysis studies. Descriptions of these projects are included in the attachment at right.

projects ($300,000 per year) on evidence-based practices for interventions to improve the health and
well-being of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and other developmental
disabilities. - R40 MCH Autism Intervention Secondary Data Analysis Studies (SDAS) Program will support up
