The Autism Research Consortium in Behavioral Health (ARC-BH) is an interdisciplinary network committed to translating high quality evidence-based autism practices into public service systems.

We have four primary goals:

Foster a Collaborative Network

Coordinate and empower an interdisciplinary network of partners—including autistic individuals, family members, providers, leaders, and researchers—to strengthen the use of effective interventions.

Build Research Infrastructure

Establish and maintain research tools and supports necessary for the successful coordination, implementation, and adaptation of organizational strategies in public service systems.

• The InPractice Portal:  an online toolkit of organizational strategies for implementing, including consultation, tools, and measures.
• The InPractice Data Repository: a tool to request large-scale implementation and child outcome data to support advanced studies of organizational strategies.

Share and Disseminate Findings

Effectively share research findings with diverse audiences—both academic and non-academic—in partnership with our community stakeholders.

Mentor Early Career Investigators

Mentor early career investigators and trainees from all backgrounds, creating a clear pathway for them to engage in impactful, community-partnered behavioral health and autism implementation research.
