Description:
The purpose of this grant is to provide funding to create and operate a national Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC) that will:
* assist States, Territories, Tribes, and communities in their efforts to plan for the development, implementation, and evaluation of suicide prevention programs across the lifespan;
* assemble and make available to the field a repository of reliable, culturally appropriate information, materials, and resources on suicide;
* assist in the development of resources to address existing gaps in the field; and
* serve as a clearinghouse of materials to be disseminated on best practices of suicide prevention strategies and techniques.
Additionally, the SPRC will be responsible for providing tailored technical assistance to approximately 31 SAMHSA/CMHS grantees that will be funded through two separate suicide-prevention initiatives beginning in FY 2005 (the Cooperative Agreements for State Sponsored Youth Suicide Prevention and Early Intervention Program and Campus Suicide Prevention Grant Program); and for collaborating with the Evaluation Contractor for those grantees to assist with content knowledge, training, report drafting, and the packaging and disseminating of project findings.
The Suicide Prevention Resource Center grant is authorized under 520C of the Public Health Service Act, as amended.
