    Description

    The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is offering a funding opportunity titled "Social Disconnection and Suicide Risk in Late Life," aimed at exploring the relationship between social isolation and suicide risk among older adults. This initiative encourages research projects that investigate neurobiological and environmental mechanisms linking social disconnection and loneliness to increased suicidal thoughts and behaviors, with a focus on developing interventions to enhance social connections and prevent suicide in late life. Given the rising suicide rates in this demographic, the NIH emphasizes the urgent need for targeted research, particularly addressing disparities across various populations. Selected projects may receive funding of up to $275,000 over two years, with applications accepted starting January 2025 and a submission deadline of September 7, 2026. For further inquiries, interested applicants can contact NIH Grants Information at grantsinfo@nih.gov or visit the opportunity's webpage at https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-25-066.html.

    The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is releasing a funding opportunity aimed at investigating the connection between social disconnection and suicide risk in older adults. Specifically, the Social Disconnection and Suicide Risk in Late Life initiative encourages exploratory and developmental research (R21 grants) that identifies mechanisms by which social isolation increases suicide risk and how social integration may provide protective effects. The NOFO emphasizes the need for multi-level analysis, including neurobiological, behavioral, and environmental factors that contribute to this public health issue. With suicide rates rising significantly in this demographic, there is an urgent need for targeted interventions-though the evidence base currently remains thin. The funding seeks proposals that examine factors such as the impact of social disconnection on suicidality and disparities across different populations, including racial, gender, and socioeconomic dimensions. Selected projects may receive up to $275,000 over two years, with applications due from January 2025 onwards. Overall, the initiative aims to enhance understanding of critical intervention targets that can improve mental health outcomes among older adults facing suicide risk.
