A core value of the Unstuck team is developing Unstuck with community partners at each step, and then evaluating the efficacy of Unstuck through rigorous processes. Below find a partial list of grants that have funded Unstuck’s development and evaluation.
A Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Trial of a School Based Executive Function Treatment for Transition Age Youth with Autism
| Title of Grant | A Hybrid Effectiveness-Implementation Trial of a School Based Executive Function Treatment for Transition Age Youth with Autism |
| Funding Agency | NIMH |
| Grant Number | 5R01MH124772-03 |
| Dates of Grant Support | 2/1/2021-11/30/2026 (NCE) |
