Studies Currently Seeking Participants
Where possible Scottish Autism seeks to support research on autism by advertising calls for participants in research studies.
Research Facilitation
Requests to Advertise Research Studies - Important Update Summer 2022
Thank you for your interest in recruiting for your research project through Scottish Autism. We offer this service to the research community to support advancing knowledge and understanding of autism.
Due to parental leave within the team, we are currently offering a reduce facilitation service. Research will be considered on a case by case basis. If and where we can support, facilitation will be in the form of shared social media posts only (we can’t post from our Scottish Autism accounts and we won’t be adding to the list on this webpage). Full research facilitation will resume in September 2022. If your research project is still running then we would encourage you to get back in touch in September.
Thank you for your understanding.
Those interested in taking part in any of the below studies should contact the researchers directly.
