The "Research Opportunities in Crisis Response Services for Suicide Prevention" grant (RFA-MH-25-135) supports research on the impact of state and local policies on crisis response services, including those linked to the 988 mental health crisis hotline. The aim is to study how these policies affect the availability, implementation, and outcomes of crisis services in real-world settings, considering factors like age, geography, culture, and health disparities. The grant seeks studies that address the full spectrum of crisis response, with a focus on services for children and underserved populations.

The grant allows for clinical trials but does not specify an award ceiling or floor. Eligible applicants include U.S.-based entities such as higher education institutions, nonprofits, government agencies, tribal organizations, and businesses. Foreign entities are not eligible, though U.S.-based projects can include foreign components.

Applications are due by June 2, 2025, with the program archiving on July 8, 2025. More information is available on the NIH grants website.
