Since 2000, AFSP has provided grant support totaling over $10 million to researchers throughout the United States and abroad.
AFSP research grants support studies that aim to increase understanding of the causes of suicide and factors related to suicide risk or to test treatments and other interventions designed to prevent suicide. A suicide outcome measure must be included. Submitting treatment feasibility studies or adding a suicide component (e.g., sample or treatment) to an existing grant are also acceptable.

Investigators from all academic disciplines are eligible to apply, and both basic science and applied research projects will be considered, providing the study has an essential focus on suicide or suicide prevention.
