About this organization
Mission
OAR’S mission is to apply research to the challenges of autism. We strive to use science to address the social, educational, and treatment concerns of self-advocates, parents, autism professionals, and caregivers. The mission of “applying” research to answer questions of daily concern to those living with autism defines our goals and program objectives and shapes our budget. In addition to funding research, our mission includes the requirements to: - Disseminate new and useful information to as many members of the autism community as possible, and - Direct all research and programs initiatives toward enhancing the quality of life for individuals with autism.
About
Parent Led, Science-Based, Community Focused, We are OAR. We are the Organization for Autism Research, better known as OAR. OAR is an organization founded and led by parents and grandparents of autistic children, who serve as the Board of Directors providing leadership, life experience, and heart. If our parent leaders are the heart, our Scientific Council, a group of remarkable and equally dedicated autism professionals, are the brain when it comes to our mission and research direction. They are not simply a list of names on letterhead; they are a “roll up your sleeves” team that we call on throughout the year to share their professional expertise and review the merits of all research grant applications. While the Board and Scientific Council take care of strategy and the big picture, it is OAR’s staff who take OAR’s mission to heart, working hard everyday to make a meaningful impact. The last and most important piece of the OAR paradigm is the community we serve. It is strong. It is diverse. It is vocal. It is unyielding in its quest for answers. On one hand, the community is our reason for being; on the other, it is the source from which we draw strength, support, inspiration, and the capacity to act and do good.
