Funded Programs
CDC’s vision is “no lives lost to suicide.” We use data, science, and partnerships to identify and implement effective suicide prevention strategies. We foster healthy and resilient communities across the United States as we work toward our vision. CDC is supporting states, tribes, territories, non-governmental organizations, and university research programs to address our four strategic priority areas in suicide prevention:
- Data: Use new and existing data to better understand, monitor, and prevent suicide and suicidal behavior
- Science: Identify risk and protective factors and effective policies, programs, and practices for suicide prevention in populations at increased risk for suicide
- Action: Build the foundation for CDC’s National Suicide Prevention Program
- Collaboration: Develop and implement wide-reaching partnership and communication strategies to raise awareness and advance suicide prevention activities
