AFSP shapes suicide prevention strategies around the world through our state-of-the-art research portfolio, and by funding, supporting and influencing the most innovative and forward-thinking researchers and studies. We are thrilled to announce our latest investment, consisting of 37 new research grants totaling $6.44 million in new research for 2021; and $23.7 million for all current studies.
Some areas examined by our newest grants include:
- Enhancing suicide assessments and interventions for underrepresented and understudied communities
- The use of technology to identify or help people at risk
- The effectiveness of ketamine and other interventions and treatments for managing suicidal thoughts and behavior
- Psychosocial factors related to suicidal thoughts and behaviors
- The maternal and perinatal transition as a risk factor for suicidal thoughts and behaviors
- The examination of brain and other biological functions
- Firearm safety and suicide prevention
We would especially like to thank the many members of our AFSP family whose small individual donations make this funding possible, and the researchers who dedicate their lives to understanding and preventing suicide.
