Developing Centers on Interventions for the Prevention of Suicide (Dcips): The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) encourages investigator-initiated research grant applications to establish Developing Research Centers on Interventions for the Prevention of Suicide (DCIPS). The purpose of this initiative is to establish core support for building research infrastructure for the study of preventive and treatment interventions for suicidality (severe ideation, attempts, deaths) related to mental health, substance use disorders (SUDs) and alcohol use disorders (AUDs). This RFA provides a grant mechanism to support an early phase of infrastructure building to be utilized by qualified institutions with active research programs but without the existing capacity to mount the extensive and highly integrated research effort expected of an advanced center (e.g., Advanced Centers for Interventions and Services Research, PAR-01-089 http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-01-089.html). The intent of this RFA is to provide the initial 5-year infrastructure support needed to build an integrated program that could qualify for full or advanced center mechanisms that may be available from participating Institutes in the future.
