Applications invited for Autism innovation and development funding
Scottish Ministers are continuing their commitment to develop and enhance services for people with autism and we are now seeking applications for innovation and development funding which will be available for 2015-16.
The Scottish Strategy for Autism provides a framework to build on improvements to autism services in Scotland, including support to families to access services such as social care, education, housing and employment. Since 2011 the Scottish Government has committed to an Autism Development Fund and has funded a number of statutory organisations and local and national third sector organisations for a variety of local and national projects that support and improve the outcomes for people with autism.
Working with a wide range of stakeholders funding in 2015/16 will focus on identified priorities. This includes the development of services that focus on outcomes based approaches; locality based integrated partnership working and national projects delivered in partnership.
Funding proposals for projects are invited before the deadline of September 18, using the forms below:
