The University of Washington’s Suicide Care Research Center is an NIMH-funded P50 directed by Kate Comtois, PhD, MPH. The Center works to improve the design and delivery of suicide care across the suicide care pathway, from identification of suicide risk through long-term surveillance and follow-up, in outpatient medical settings serving adolescents and young adults. The Center brings a wide array of expertise ranging from clinician-researchers who are on the frontline of suicide care. Learn more about SCRC here (Role: Team Science Core Director)
