Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates include individuals at risk of suicide who frequently engage with criminal-legal systems, as well as communities served by those systems.
✕Less likely to help
Individuals not connected to or affected by criminal-legal intercepts or suicide prevention initiatives may see limited direct benefit.
What this research studies
This grant funds the Administrative Core of a Center focused on scalable suicide prevention strategies at points where people interact with criminal-legal systems. It supports strategic planning, scientific leadership, and administrative services to ensure high-quality, productive projects across Signature, Exploratory, and Pilot Feasibility components. The Core also coordinates between center components and partner organizations, facilitates new pilot studies, supports training, and tracks program evaluation with an eye toward sustainability. Through strong oversight and collaboration, it aims to align research with real-world community needs and policy impact.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the Center could improve how communities integrate behavioral health care with criminal-legal systems to reduce suicide risk.
How similar studies have gone: Previous centers with strong administrative cores have shown improved coordination and faster translation of pilot studies into practice.
