New Community Grants Funding for Suicide Prevention

CDPHE's Office of Suicide Prevention (OSP) is pleased to announce the availability of funds, through OSP state General Funds, to enhance suicide prevention programming and community organization efforts in Colorado.  For the project period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017, funding will be provided to selected communities for implementation and evaluation of OSP identified priority suicide prevention projects to be completed over a three-year funding period (years two and three are subject to available funding).

In 2013, the OSP identified strategic priorities through 2020. Priorities are data-driven and focus on high risk populations in the counties and regions of the state with the highest numbers and rates of suicide deaths and attempts. For the July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017 community grant program, the OSP will fund projects that implement strategies and programs that target high risk populations in areas of the state with high suicide death and attempt rates.  Information and the Request for Applications can be found on OSP’s website.

Applications must be received by 4:00pm (MST) March 10, 2014.  A technical assistance call is scheduled from 10:00-11:00am on February 26, 2014 to answer questions regarding the applications requirements. Conference Line: 712-432-02210, Pass code: 2589#.”  [Source:  COPrevent]
