About this opportunity
This federal grant opportunity from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) seeks research projects that address the link between social disconnection, including social isolation and loneliness, and suicide risk in late-life. The emphasis is on identifying neurobiological and environmental mechanisms associated with social isolation and loneliness that increase suicide risk, using an experimental therapeutics approach to develop interventions, and enhancing service delivery models to prevent late-life suicide. Eligible applicants include higher education institutions, tribal governments, for-profit organizations, non-profits, and small businesses. The opportunity is posted under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) and has a due date of September 7, 2026.
While the announcement does not specify award amounts or dates, NIH Mental Health Research Grants have recently ranged from smaller exploratory grants around $50,000 to large multi-year projects exceeding $3 million in total costs, with typical award durations spanning 2-5 years. The research activities are generally conducted at the facilities of recipient organizations across the United States.
Synopsis
This initiative seeks to solicit applications for research projects that address the link between social disconnection including both objective social isolation as well as perceived social isolation (otherwise known as loneliness) and suicide in late-life. Emphasis is placed on research that identifies neurobiological and environmental mechanisms associated with social isolation and loneliness that increase risk for suicidal thoughts and behavior in late-life, that uses an experimental therapeutics approach to identify targets and develop and test interventions to prevent late-life suicide, and that develops new and modifies existing service delivery models to enhance social connection in late-life to prevent suicide.
