The U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awarded a $2,250,000 project grant under the Autism Collaboration, Accountability, Research, Education, and Support (CARES) Act of 2014 Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.877) to the University of Cincinnati Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCCEDD) at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. The grant funding will support the development, implementation, and evaluation of a transition framework/model to increase successful transition from pediatric/child-focused settings to adult healthcare/adult-focused community settings and adult life for youth with autism who have complex health and social needs. The project aims to increase the percentage of youth with autism who successfully transition, foster collaboration between child- and adult-focused agencies, and improve self-efficacy of families/caregivers in transitioning their youth to adult life. The award includes two sub-grants to the Institute for Exceptional Care and the National Committee for Quality Assurance to support various aspects of the project's goals.
