Comprehensive Suicide Prevention Program for States
About This Grant
<p>This forecast is for CDC's Comprehensive Suicide Prevention Program for States, a cooperative agreement intended to support implementation and evaluation of a comprehensive public health approach to suicide prevention in the United States. Funded recipients will focus on one or more Focus Prevention Areas (FPAs), groups or settings identified through available data as experiencing a significant suicide burden, higher suicide morbidity or mortality rates or emerging suicide-related trends. Examples may include veterans, people living in rural areas, youth, older adults, men, and members of occupational groups at elevated risk, such as construction, agriculture and public safety workers.</p><p>Recipients will use timely and relevant data to identify FPAs, understand contributors to suicide and suicidal behavior, monitor emerging trends, and guide prevention planning and response. Recipients will also assess existing suicide prevention programs and gaps in their jurisdiction, strengthen and coordinate multi-sector partnerships, select and implement complementary prevention strategies and approaches with the best available evidence from CDC's Suicide Prevention Resource for Action and communicate programmatic and surveillance findings, progress, successes and lessons learned to partners and other key audiences.</p><p>The comprehensive approach is expected to include partnership development, data use, an asset and gap inventory, implementation of evidence-informed strategies or approaches, evaluation and communication activities. Recipients will evaluate their approach with a focus on continuous quality improvement, sustainability and measurable outcomes. Key outcomes include increased partner engagement, increased use of surveillance data for decision-making, improved coordination of comprehensive suicide prevention within the jurisdiction, reduced suicide risk factors and increased protective factors among selected FPAs, reduced suicide morbidity and a 5% reduction in suicide mortality among selected FPAs over the period of performance.</p><p>Applications are not being solicited at this time. This forecast is provided to allow potential applicants time to begin planning, review relevant data, identify potential FPAs and consider partnerships and prevention strategies that may align with this anticipated opportunity.</p>
