The awards are open to all organisations and researchers undertaking quality research projects in the area of autism, regardless of location or affiliation with Autism CRC. In particular, they recognise achievements in inclusive research practice and the translation of autism research into practice, products, policy and programs that benefit the autistic and broader autism communities.
