Description
The American Psychological Foundation (APF) administers this grant to support an early career psychologist’s research, practice, or education on child and youth suicide among African Americans. The program encompasses both inquiry into suicide risk and work addressing this topic through interventions or education. Applications are evaluated for impact, innovation, originality, contribution to the field, and the proposed methodology and plan.
Previously supported work illustrates the program’s breadth: a collaborative intervention group for Black youth at risk for suicide, a youth-engaged study of risk and protective factors, and research examining and disrupting how the school-to-prison pipeline affects suicide among Black girls.
