LOGISTICS SERVICES FOR THE NATIONAL ACTION ALLIANCE FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION'S RES

目的：为NIMH主办的2012年9月和2013年2月(确切日期待定)在华盛顿特区大都市区举行的S研究优先工作组专家小组会议提供后勤和行政支持。 背景/理由： 全国预防自杀行动联盟是一个公私合作伙伴关系，任务是推进国家预防自杀战略。NIMH支持研究优先工作组(RTF)的努力，其目标是制定一项研究计划，能够产生保护弱势群体免受自杀行为所需的知识。为此，RTF正在制定一项研究议程，有可能在5年内减少发病率(尝试)和死亡率(死亡)，如果全面实施，则在10年内各减少40%或更多。RTF研究优先进程包括多个步骤：收集相关利益攸关方的投入；严格审查现有的自杀预防科学文献；分析公共和私人研究资助机构的当前研究组合；计算可获得的亚群的负担；以及审查国家卫生研究院关于推动科学前进所需的方法障碍和新范式的信息请求。 这次会议旨在召集一个专家小组，他们将整合这些投入，并确定有助于减轻美国自杀负担的研究途径和目标的优先顺序。这些专家将从对制定全面和现实的议程至关重要的各种领域的领导人和主题专家、自杀学、临床心理学和主题专家中挑选，这些领域包括美洲原住民/阿拉斯加原住民专家、农村健康和自杀未遂和死亡的幸存者。来自NIMH以及其他NIH研究所和政府机构的工作人员也将做出贡献。 在我们制定研究优先议程草案时，这些会议将被用来主持一系列网络研讨会和与主题专家的电话会议。预计议程草案将于2013年初完成。 演出期限：2012年9月25日至2012年12月31日

PURPOSE: To provide logistical and administrative support for the NIMH-sponsored meetings ¿National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention¿s Research Prioritization Task Force Expert Panel¿ in September 2012 and February 2013 (exact dates to be determined), Washington, DC metro area. BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION: The National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention is a public-private partnership tasked with advancing the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention. The NIMH supports the efforts of the Research Prioritization Task Force (RTF) in its goal of developing a research plan capable of generating the kind of knowledge needed to protect vulnerable individuals from suicide behavior. To that end, the RTF is in the process of developing a research agenda with the potential to reduce morbidity (attempts) and mortality (deaths), each by at least 20% in 5 years and 40% or greater in 10 years if fully implemented. The RTF research prioritization process includes multiple steps: collecting input from relevant stakeholders; critically reviewing the extant suicide prevention scientific literature; analyzing the current research portfolios of public and private research funding agencies; calculating burden among accessible subpopulations; and reviewing input from a National Institutes of Health Request for Information on methodological roadblocks and new paradigms needed to move science forward. This meeting aims to bring together a panel of experts who will integrate these inputs and prioritize research pathways and objectives that can help reduce the U.S. suicide burden. These experts will be drawn from leaders and subject matter experts in a variety of fields critical to developing a comprehensive and realistic agenda; Suicidology, clinical psychology, and subject matter experts in areas including Native America/Alaska Native specialists, rural health, and survivors of suicide attempt and loss. Staff from the NIMH as well as other NIH institutes and government agencies will also contribute. The meetings will be used to bookend a series of webinars and conference calls with subject matter experts as we develop our draft research prioritization agenda. The draft agenda is anticipated in early 2013. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: September 25, 2012 through December 31, 2012
