Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is forecasting a funding opportunity for investigator-initiated research evaluating primary prevention-focused approaches to reduce suicide and interpersonal violence among youth and young adults (ages 10 to 24). This grant will support the rigorous evaluation of existing programs, policies, or practices that are already implemented or ready for implementation but have not yet undergone thorough evaluation.
Research proposals may address:
- Approaches to reduce suicide-related outcomes and enhance social connectedness and cohesion at the community level.
- Strategies to reduce or mitigate the impact of unhealthy behaviors or experiences in online spaces on suicide-related outcomes.
- Evaluation of interventions to reduce the incidence or harm of technology-facilitated interpersonal violence.
