The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a 5-year, $739,843 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) to study the role of environmental exposures (the exposome) and physiological stress burden (allostatic load) in suicide risk and resilience among youth.
The project will involve a collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania, which is receiving a sub-award to provide statistical expertise and support data analysis. The research aims to develop reproducible tools to quantify environmental risk factors, understand disparities in suicide risk, and explore mechanisms linking environmental stressors to biological indicators of suicide vulnerability in diverse youth cohorts. Findings are expected to advance suicide prevention efforts by identifying factors that contribute to risk and resilience.
