Join us for a virtual conversation at the intersection of science, policy, and public health. This webinar brings together suicide prevention researchers to present their latest findings and reflect on how federal support shapes the scope, scale, and impact of their work.

As suicide rates continue to rise, evidence-based research remains essential—but growing threats to federal research funding and the rollback of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives are placing critical progress at risk. Our panelists will explore:
  • The real-world impact of their federally funded research on suicide prevention
  • How funding structures shape which communities and questions get attention
  • The consequences of funding cuts and anti-DEI efforts on both scientific discovery and public health outcomes
This is a must-attend event for mental health professionals, policy advocates, researchers, and anyone invested in the future of equitable and effective suicide prevention.

Speakers include:
  • Maggie Davis
  • Olga Revzina
  • Dominic Denning
  • Chelsea Boccagno
