Lethal Means Safety Suicide Prevention Research in Healthcare and Community Settings (R34 Clinical Trial Required)
Agency: National Institutes of Health
Posted: 2024-03-18 | Closing date: 2025-01-23
Cost sharing or matching requirement: No

NIMH seeks applications to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of therapeutic and service delivery interventions that utilize lethal means safety strategies to reduce suicide risk in healthcare and community settings. Behavioral health clinics that incorporate lethal means counseling into their programming have been associated with significant reductions in suicide attempts and death. Yet, the field is lacking strong evidence on the effectiveness of these strategies tested in healthcare and community settings. Pilot effectiveness research will advance knowledge regarding optimization strategies, therapeutic change mechanisms, and inform decisions about whether further effectiveness testing is warranted. The research will provide preliminary evidence on the extent to which lethal means safety interventions more optimally lead to improved safety (e.g., number/percent of firearms safely stored, overdose injury codes for an individual) and lower suicide risk. In this pilot phase of effectiveness research, the trial should be designed to evaluate the feasibility, tolerability, acceptability, safety, and potential effectiveness of the approach; to address whether the intervention engages the target(s)/mechanisms(s) that is/are presumed to underlie the intervention effects; and to obtain preliminary data needed as a pre-requisite to a larger-scale effectiveness trial (e.g., comparative effectiveness study, practical trial) designed to definitively test the effectiveness of the intervention.

Mechanisms of Cognitive Fluctuations in ADRD Populations (R01 - Clinical Trial Optional)

"Fluctuating cognition can occur in many types of dementia and is a core clinical feature of Dementia with Lewy Bodies. Cognitive fluctuations can last from seconds to days, are unpredictable (e.g., do not just occur in the evenings, as with sun-downing), and are associated with poor daily functioning for the patient. A number of small studies have suggested that cognitive fluctuations in subjects with dementia may be related to epileptiform discharges and impaired oscillatory activity on EEG, but it is not clear that these are the only factors involved in patient populations that often experience dysautonomia, orthostasis, and sleep disturbances. The etiology of cognitive fluctuations may be multi-factorial and may vary in different dementia populations. Understanding the physiology related to cognitive fluctuations is a critical next step to the development of treatment approaches and improving quality of life for these patients. This initiate would encourage research that will better characterize the physiology responsible for cognitive fluctuations in ADRD populations. Given their variable appearance and time course, it is anticipated that wearable digital devices will be important for capturing fluctuations in a timely fashion, and applicants should consider incorporating those device(s) capable of acquiring the relevant data to support the hypothesized mechanism(s). Applicants may focus on assessing multiple mechanisms in a specific ADRD population, or may chose to compare mechanisms across multiple types of ADRDs. "
