Autism Intervention Research Network on Physical Health (AIR-P) Research Day at Autism CARES 2021

This virtual event is an opportunity to highlight innovative life course intervention research in the six Research Nodes supported by the Autism Intervention Research Network on Physical Health (AIR-P). This event will include asynchronous and synchronous elements including video presentations of e-posters that will be available for viewing one week in advance of the meeting, panel presentations, and individual virtual rapid-fire presentations with Q&A. Presentations will highlight the Healthy Weight Research Network, the Genetics Research Node of AIR-P, and multiple research projects from AIR-P Collaborating Research Entities. Agenda and access to videos will be available one week in advance of the meeting.

ABOUT AIR-P: 

In September 2020, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) assumed leadership of AIR-P under the direction of Dr. Alice Kuo. Funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, Health Resources and Services Administration, the AIR-P is an interdisciplinary, multicenter research network for scientific collaboration and infrastructure aimed at increasing life expectancy and quality of life for autistic individuals, with a focus on underserved/vulnerable populations.  

AIR-P establishes and maintains an interdisciplinary, multicenter research network for scientific collaboration and infrastructure to increase the life expectancy and quality of life for autistic individuals, particularly for underserved and vulnerable populations. The purpose of the AIR-P is to support innovative life course intervention research that promotes optimal health and well-being of autistic individuals across the lifespan. The AIR-P envisions a future where autistic individuals experience optimal multi-dimensional health and well-being. More information about the AIR-P is provided at airpnetwork.ucla.edu
