Our Partnership
AASPIRE brings together people from the three communities: the academic community, the autistic community, and the community of people who provide support and services to autistics.
AASPIRE is based at Oregon Health and Science University. AASPIRE partners with other community organizations, including the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network and the Autism Society of Oregon, as well as the academic institutions Portland State University, University of Indiana, and Syracuse University.

- Portland State University
- The Oregon Clinical and Translational Research Institute (OCTRI), grant number UL1 RR024140 from the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and NIH Roadmap for Medical Research.
