    The National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), has announced a funding opportunity for research on lethal means safety strategies aimed at reducing suicide risk in healthcare and community settings. The program seeks applications for pilot trials to assess the preliminary effectiveness of therapeutic interventions that incorporate lethal means safety counseling. This initiative aims to provide evidence on the feasibility, safety, acceptability, and effectiveness of these interventions, which have shown promise in behavioral health clinics, yet lack strong empirical support. NIMH plans to allocate approximately $1.5 million to fund up to six awards, with a maximum budget of $450,000 for three years per project. Eligible applicants include various educational institutions and non-profit organizations, with proposals due by January 24, 2025. The participation of underserved populations and the consideration of cultural factors are encouraged to enhance equity in mental health outcomes. This funding opportunity is crucial for developing effective strategies to curb the rise in firearm-related suicides, which have reached alarming rates in recent years, particularly affecting certain demographic groups. The NIH emphasizes the importance of rigorous research design, proper subject recruitment, and adherence to ethical standards throughout the project.
