Description
The Linked Standard Research Innovation Grants support multi-site, collaborative research projects focused on suicide and suicide prevention. These grants are designed for teams conducting studies that involve two or more unique sites, with each site contributing both unique expertise and data collection. The aim is to leverage strengths across institutions, facilitate cross-site collaboration, and generate larger or more generalizable datasets. Typical projects include multi-center clinical trials, coordinated observational studies, and interdisciplinary collaborations. The program is part of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s Innovation Grants and seeks to advance understanding of the causes of suicide, risk factors, and effective interventions.
