Opportunity Summary:
Pediatric Suicide Prevention in Emergency Departments (U01) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) cooperative agreement funding opportunity (RFA-MH-14-070) focused on improving how emergency departments identify and manage suicide risk in children and adolescents under age 18. The core purpose is to support research that develops and prospectively evaluates screening and risk-stratification methods for suicidality in youth presenting to general medical emergency departments. Rather than relying on retrospective chart review or single-site feasibility work, the FOA emphasizes determining the sensitivity and specificity of proposed screening and stratification approaches in real-world ED settings, with the goal of producing tools and workflows that can be applied broadly and reliably.
A central theme of the announcement is generalizability. Applicants are expected to design approaches that can be tested across multiple general medical emergency departments, not just specialty psychiatric settings, so that improved care pathways can translate to typical ED environments where youth in crisis often first appear. The FOA also highlights the practical end-use of better screening: improved identification should enable more precise subgrouping of at-risk patients and better matching of subgroups to interventions. In other words, the screening and stratification work is intended to do more than flag risk; it should inform which youth are most likely to benefit from which types of follow-up actions or interventions, and it should lay groundwork for future intervention development aimed at modifiable risk factors within specific high-risk groups.
The award mechanism is a U01 cooperative agreement, meaning the project is expected to involve substantial scientific and/or programmatic involvement from NIH compared to a standard research grant. The opportunity falls under the Health activity category, with a CFDA listing of 93.242 (Mental Health Research Grants). NIH anticipated making 1 award, with an estimated total funding amount of $12,000,000. The award ceiling is listed as $2,400,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is broad across U.S.-based organizations. Eligible applicants include many types of public and private entities such as state and local governments, county and city governments, public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), small businesses and other for-profit organizations (with the noted distinction that “other than small businesses†are also eligible), independent school districts, special district governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and Native American tribal governments and organizations (including federally recognized tribes and other tribal entities). The FOA also explicitly includes various minority-serving and mission-based institutions and organizations as eligible, such as HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, tribally controlled colleges and universities, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian serving institutions, and Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions, along with faith-based or community-based organizations and eligible federal agencies. Foreign institutions are not eligible to apply, and non-U.S. components of U.S. organizations are not eligible; foreign components as defined by NIH policy are not allowed.
Key dates indicate the FOA was posted April 15, 2013, created October 21, 2013, with an original closing date of October 18, 2013, and a current closing date of November 1, 2013.
