Description
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is accepting letters of intent for its 2019 Focus Grants. Click on the subject areas for more information about each.
1) Short-Term Risk
The Focus Grant for Short-Term Risk is open to innovative, potentially high-yield proposals that focus on short-term risk for suicide.
Goal
To develop identification and/or intervention strategies for short-term suicide risk that can be implemented in clinical settings.
Funding
Up to $500,000 per year for up to three years.
2) Reaching 20% by 2025
AFSP has set a goal to reduce our nation’s suicide rate 20% by 2025. We believe that by targeting areas known to contribute to suicide burden we can reach this goal. This Focus Grant RFA seeks applications that address potential biological, psychological, social and/or environmental pathways and interventions that can significantly reduce the national suicide rate if ultimately implemented on a large scale.
Goal
Universal, selective or indicated interventions that target suicide prevention in healthcare systems, emergency departments, corrections settings, or among the gun owning community, that, if implemented on a large scale, would reduce the annual U.S. suicide rate.
Funding
Up to $500,000 per year for up to three years.
3) Blue Sky Research Grant
Supports an innovative, impactful study in an area of suicide research that will achieve significant goals. This mechanism is intended for studies that, by their very nature, are clearly beyond the financial scope of our Innovation Grants.
Goal
Innovative projects in new areas of investigation with potentially high impact for the understanding and prevention of suicide. Open to all fields of inquiry.
