The University of California, Davis (UC Davis) was awarded a $257,612 Project Grant (R34MH138725) from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to conduct a pilot trial of the Individualized Placement and Support (IPS) model of supported employment for autistic adults in the community. The project aims to identify barriers and facilitators to IPS success for this population, develop a tailored Consumer Support Toolbox, and evaluate the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary effectiveness of the IPS-AUT intervention. The goal is to prepare for a future large-scale effectiveness trial to better support the competitive employment of autistic individuals and improve their mental health outcomes. The project will be conducted over 3 years, with an expected completion date of December 31, 2027.
