New Funding Opportunity: Addressing Suicide Research Gaps (R01)
Addressing
Suicide Research Gaps: Understanding Mortality Outcomes (R01)
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) seeks
to support efforts focused on linking pertinent data from healthcare system
records (e.g., suicide attempt events) to mortality data so that a more
accurate understanding of the risk factors for, and the burden of, suicide
among those seen in structured healthcare settings can be discerned.
Specifically, data are needed on the type, severity, and timing of suicide
predictors in the U.S. In addition to improving our national knowledge of the
burden of suicide, these data offer the hope of yielding essential benchmarks
for both public and private care providers/insurers, who increasingly will be
seeking improvements to reduce the frequency of suicide events in their
systems. Projects supported by this FOA will help address gaps identified in
the 2014 Prioritized Research Agenda for Suicide Prevention.
NCCIH
is particularly interested in applications that:
- Examine data from health care records that include
mortality outcomes and information about use of complementary or
integrative approaches, including stepped care and collaborative models,
to better understand predictors of suicide and factors that may reduce its
occurrence. Examples of complementary and integrative approaches
include mindfulness based stress reduction, meditation, yoga, acupuncture,
and integrative care.
- Examine linkage of data from clinical trials, including
pragmatic clinical trials, that examine complementary or integrative
approaches, to mortality outcomes to better understand predictors of
suicide and factors that may reduce its occurrence. Examples of
complementary and integrative approaches may include mindfulness based
stress reduction, meditation, yoga, acupuncture, and integrative care.
NCCIH intends to commit up to
$250,000 to support 1 meritorious application of clear relevance to its
mission.
A technical assistance teleconference
will be held for potential applicants on September 11, 2017 from 1 – 2
p.m. ET. The dial in number is 866-692-3158 and participant code is 5800728. NIH staff will be available to answer questions related to this
FOA.
Applications are due November 2,
2017. Letters of Intent are due 30 days prior to the application due
date. Eve Reider, Ph.D., is the scientific/research
contact.
