The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a five-year, $661,237 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to The Ohio State University to conduct research on optimizing brief coping skills interventions for suicide prevention. The project aims to leverage technology and novel statistical models to characterize the contexts in which patients are most likely to use and benefit from safety planning interventions (SPIs) following discharge from psychiatric...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $7,988,298 Cooperative Agreement under the Mental Health Research Grants (CFDA 93.242) program to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research that will integrate and harmonize existing large prevention trial datasets. The goal is to examine whether preventive interventions delivered before adulthood (prior to age 18) and not explicitly targeting suicidal thoughts and behaviors can reduce risk for fatal and nonfatal suicidal behaviors,...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a 5-year, $391,894 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to The General Hospital Corporation, doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), to conduct a randomized controlled trial of a smartphone-delivered treatment for suicidal thoughts and behavior. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a gamified, classical conditioning-based intervention called the Therapeutic Evaluative Condition for Suicide (TEC-S)...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $838,010 to support a 5-year study on the role of emotional impulsivity, or "urgency," in suicidal ideation and behavior across two serious mental health disorders - schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD). The study aims to investigate the neural circuitry underlying urgency in these high-risk populations,...
This $256,627 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) aims to develop and pilot test a brief digital intervention for parents of pre- and early adolescent youth at risk of suicide. The key products and services to be delivered include: Co-creating and refining a single-session intervention (SSI) and a just-in-time digital intervention (JIT) to be triggered by suicide risk alerts from a digital monitoring app, in collaboration...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $776,408 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to the University of Pennsylvania to develop and pilot-test an enhanced version of the Friendship Bench (FB) intervention that incorporates a Safety Planning (SP) component. The goal is to prevent suicide among adolescents living with HIV in Malawi. The project aims to: 1) adapt the FB model with SP to meet the needs of this population, 2) evaluate the feasibility,...
The federal Project Grant award R21MH136378, funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), supports research on emotion regulation and suicidal ideation among individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis. The $196,875 award, with a period of performance from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026, will be used by the prime awardee, The Ohio State University, to study the mechanisms contributing to suicidal thoughts in...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a 4-year, $640,196 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to The Johns Hopkins University to investigate suicide risk and protective factors among economically disadvantaged, preteen Black youth. The study aims to characterize the epidemiology and course of suicide ideation and behaviors in this population, identify individual and environmental risk/protective factors, and assess the impact of an early elementary...
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $195,196 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to Rhode Island Hospital, a division of Lifespan Corporation, to refine and pilot a brief, culturally-sensitive adaptive intervention delivered in emergency department settings. The purpose of this 5-year study is to increase linkage to community-based mental health care for youth aged 10 to 14 years old who are at risk for suicide and self-injurious behavior after an...
The federal Project Grant award R01MH134006, totaling $1,413,352.00, was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The goal of this project is to evaluate the relationship between emotion reactivity, cognitive reappraisal, and suicidal ideation in middle-aged and older adults following their discharge from a suicide-related hospitalization. The research will recruit 162 participants and follow them for 6 months,...

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $178,319 Project Grant (CFDA 93.242 - Mental Health Research Grants) to the University of California, San Diego to develop and test a personalized suicide prevention intervention called PRECISE. The goal of the 5-year project is to leverage ecological momentary assessment data and network science techniques to tailor safety planning and dialectical behavior therapy skills to the specific needs of individuals at high-risk of suicide. The project involves refining the PRECISE intervention through user-centered design (Aim 1) and then conducting a randomized controlled trial to compare two different intensities of personalization in the intervention (Aim 2). The research aims to demonstrate clinically significant reductions in suicidal ideation, with the high-intensity personalization arm expected to outperform the low-intensity arm. The project is part of the NIMH's strategic plan to advance impactful, rapid-acting suicide prevention interventions for at-risk adults.
