Opportunity Summary:
The Suicide Prevention and Counseling Research opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number W81XWH-08-MOMRP-SPCR) is a US Department of the Army program run through the US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command and the US Army Medical Research Acquisition Activity. It funds applied research meant to strengthen how the military prevents suicide, responds to suicide-related crises, and supports recovery after a suicide death. The program is framed as building an evidence base that can directly inform policy and real-world practices across military settings, with relevance to the broader public as well.
At its core, the opportunity is looking for proposals that advance three connected goals. First, it aims to support development of a more comprehensive, coordinated approach to preventing suicide among Military Service members, including how the system identifies risk, intervenes, and manages Service members who present with intentional self-harming behavior. Second, it seeks interventions that help first responders and loved ones in the aftermath of a suicide, focusing on practical supports that reduce harm and improve recovery outcomes after a loss. Third, it invites development and testing of counseling interventions designed to prevent suicide and reduce contributing pressures inside military care environments, explicitly including efforts to reduce nurse stress and fatigue at military treatment facilities. Together, these priorities emphasize not only prevention for at-risk individuals, but also postvention and the wellbeing of the caregivers and communities affected by suicide.
The research scope is organized under the Military Operational Medicine Research Program and spans four major categories: Prevention, Screening, Treatment, and Quality of Life. Within those categories, the full program announcement lists 10 topic areas, signaling that the funder is open to a range of approaches as long as they clearly address suicide-related problems in military communities. The stated end goal is broad and practical: expand knowledge and capacity to prevent, detect, diagnose, treat, and improve quality of life for people affected by suicide-related issues, both within military populations and in the general public where findings may translate.
From a funding and award structure standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using either a Cooperative Agreement or a Grant as the funding instrument type, under the Health Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category. The program anticipated making about 10 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $8,500,000 and an award ceiling of $2,000,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 12.420 (Military Medical Research and Development).
Eligibility is broad and institution-focused. Eligible applicants include nonprofit, public, and private organizations such as universities, colleges, hospitals, laboratories, and commercial firms, with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions are specifically encouraged to apply, indicating an intent to promote broader participation across the research community.
The application process uses a two-step submission structure with firm deadlines. A required Letter of Intent had to be submitted by 5:00 p.m. Eastern on October 31, 2008, and only applicants who submitted the Letter of Intent would be considered for full proposal review. Full proposals were due through Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. Eastern on November 28, 2008, which is also listed as the closing date. Key administrative dates include a posted date of October 3, 2008 and an archive date of December 28, 2008, reflecting that this was a time-limited competition. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Fay Peiffer, Contract Specialist, at 301-619-4055.
