American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Accepting
        Research Grant Proposals

 Deadline: December 15, 2002

 The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention offers
 research grants to investigators conducting clinical,
 biological, or psychosocial research on the problem of
 suicide for one or two-year periods, and for up to three
 years for postdoctoral research fellowships.

 Grant applicants compete in the following categories:

 Established Investigator Awards: funding for up to
 $100,000 over two years awarded to investigators at the
 level of associate professor or higher with a proven
 history of research in the area of suicide. The purpose
 of this funding is not to supplement existing research,
 but to fund new directions and initiatives in suicidology.

 Standard Research Grants: funding for up to $60,000 over
 two years awarded to individual investigators. An
 additional $5,000 per year stipend is available for
 mentors on Young Investigator Awards (maximum total of
 $70,000 over two years) in which the investigator is at the
 level of assistant professor or lower.

 Postdoctoral Research Fellowships: funding awarded for
 full-time training projects by investigators who have
 received a Ph.D. degree within the preceding three years
 and have not had more than three years of fellowship
 support. Fellows will receive a progressive stipend of
 $28,000 to $32,000 up to maximum of three years.

 Pilot Grants: seed money funding for new projects of
 up to $20,000 over awarded to individual investigators
 without regard to academic rank or previous research
 experience with suicide. Pilot grants are accepted
 throughout the year, with funding decisions four to
 six months after the foundation's receipt of the
 application.

 For complete program information and application
 procedures, see the American Foundation for Suicide
 Prevention Web site.
