The National Institute of Mental Health awarded The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco $190,188 on August 17, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242, K23MH142737) to support a mentored career development award for Ashley Foster, MD, a general and pediatric emergency medicine physician, to prepare her for independent clinician investigator status focusing on adolescent suicide prevention. The award funds Dr. Foster's development of specialized skills in human-centered design for adapting a proactive crisis line intervention for adolescents, deepening her knowledge of implementation science frameworks, and advancing her capabilities in conducting adolescent suicide prevention research. The research targets adolescents at increased risk of suicide following emergency department discharge, addressing the high-risk post-discharge period when many adolescents continue experiencing suicidal thoughts and behaviors despite ED identification. The intervention leverages existing crisis line infrastructure, which Dr. Foster's research will adapt and test for scalability and sustainability in adolescent populations. The award is a K23 mentored patient-oriented research career development grant with a period of performance from August 17, 2026, through July 31, 2030, and place of performance in Oakland, California. K23 awards are made for up to five-year periods with no renewal. The funding obligated is $190,188, representing the initial year of the four-year project period.
