- This federal Project Grant award of $185,552.00 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) supports research to examine the neurocognitive and social factors underlying suicide risk in adolescent girls. The key objectives are to investigate two forms of sustained neurocognitive responsivity to social threat that may disrupt social connectedness and increase suicidal thoughts and behaviors in this population. The research will...
- The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a 4-year, $1,549,649 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to Rutgers, The State University in New Jersey.

This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $832,042 to Trustees of Dartmouth College to investigate the transmission of suicidal thoughts and behaviors among young adults on social media platforms. The multi-method research project aims to model suicide transmission as a real-time process and identify modifiable risk factors. It will employ computational social science, natural language processing, dynamic social network analysis, and ecological momentary assessment to study 800 young adult participants (400 from Twitter/X and 400 from Reddit) already engaging with suicide-related content on these platforms. The longitudinal study will collect data over 90 days using active and passive methods, including participant-reported fluctuations in suicidal thoughts and behaviors and reconstruction of their dynamic social networks. The findings are expected to advance understanding of the role of social media in suicide risk and inform effective prevention strategies.
