Application for advertising for research participants
Form contents
If you are a researcher at postgraduate level and beyond and seeking participants,
we may be able to advertise your appeal for participants on the Research Autism
website and social media channels.
Every effort will be made to facilitate research proposals which will benefit autistic
children or adults or their families. Please note however, that due to the volume of
expressions of interest in the area of autism research, if we decide that your proposal
does not, for whatever reason, meet the criteria we have for engaging our
members, clients and other stakeholders in assisting with research, we reserve the
right to decline your application without entering into correspondence.
We will:
 Require you to provide a copy of your ethical approval letter before we can
advertise your research (we will contact you about this if required)
 Require you to submit a 150 word (max) lay summary to act as an
advertisement for participants.
 Require you to submit a written report to us after completion of the project.
 Require you to ascertain and comply with any requirements regarding child
or adult protection that may arise in the course of your research.
By completing the form below, you are agreeing to these terms. We will act as
quickly as possible on your request.
Please return this form to richard.mills@researchautism.net
1. Level of research project
(Postgraduate, e.g. MA; MSc; PhD etc).
Please note that undergraduate research proposals will not be accepted.
2. Project title
3. Project description
Please describe the project in no more than 150 words.
(We suggest you use this section to 'sell' your request to potential participants.
It is helpful for participants to know if they need to travel to you, if researchers can
go to them (or both) and if travel costs, etc. can be reimbursed. It is important that
you give careful thought to how you will involve the autism community in your
proposal.
