The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, in partnership with the National Institutes of Health, is accepting applications for Detecting and Preventing Suicide Behavior, Ideation, and Self-Harm in Youth in Contact with the Juvenile Justice System. This initiative supports research to test the effectiveness of combined strategies to both detect and intervene to reduce the risk of suicide behavior, suicide ideation, and non-suicidal self-harm. This announcement invites intervention strategies that are designed to be delivered in typical service settings using typically available personnel and resources, to enhance the implementation of interventions that prove effective, enhance their future uptake in diverse settings, and thereby reduce risk of suicide and self-harm in this population. Applications are due September 5.
