Dr. Bradley E. Cox (Michigan State University; PI) and I (co-PI) have garnered more than $600,000 in funding, including a Spencer Foundation Large Research Grant for $500,000, to further our research endeavor on autistic undergraudate college student success in the United States.
Over the past three years, we have collected more than 1,300 surveys, conducted 79 interviews, and gathered 67 photovoice submissions.
Most notably, this study has allowed us to track students longitudinally, elevate perspectives from individuals who are further marginalized in the autism community (e.g., People of Color, LGBTQ+ students, community college learners), and share their stories across a number of platforms, including journal articles, infographics, and an online gallery.
I oversee all qualitative research design components of the study, as well serve as the primary administrator and team leader for a group of faculty, practitioners, and graduate students across six universities.
