[Prevscilist] FW: [Psi-scientists] News of award

[Leslie Leve]

Dear Prevsci students:

Please see the exciting announcement below regarding a new grant received from SAMHSA that Prevention Science PhD student Nicholas Parr “did the heavy lifting on” in developing the application and will assume co-PI responsibilities.

Nicholas, along with Maria Schweer-Collins, are two examples of prevention science doctoral students who have (already!) demonstrated success in receipt of external grant funding; I know that several others of you have been involved in and/or are currently working on your own or collaborative grant submissions, too.

Well done, students!
Leslie & Atika

Subject: [Psi-scientists] News of award

Hi all – I thought I’d share some good news to start off the week.

John Seeley, Nicholas Parr, and Mariko Lin have received a new award! See below and congrats!



The University of Oregon has been selected as an awardee of the Garrett Lee Smith (GLS) Campus Suicide Prevention grant, a program of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Department of Health and Human Services. The goal of the GLS grant program is to reduce suicide ideation, attempts, and deaths by suicide, as well as substance use outcomes, among college and university students. At the UO, this three-year award will support programming to 1) increase the capacity of students, faculty, and staff to effectively recognize, respond to, and refer students in distress and at-risk for suicide; (2) increase treatment service and resource availability and awareness among students at risk for the development of suicidal behavior; and 3) increase campus community member and student family awareness of response protocols for providing support for students experiencing acute distress or suicidal ideation. The funded activities will leverage on-campus Implementation Science and suicide prevention research and evaluation expertise to plan and comprehensively assess the effectiveness of project activities, and to develop and disseminate new knowledge based on program success, particularly among LGBTQ and veteran campus communities. Through coordinated and collaborative efforts, the program will aim to strengthen the mental health, resilience, and well-being of each UO student through addressing and closing key gaps in services, knowledge and training, and suicide and substance use outcomes.
