Research Advisory Group

The Research Advisory Group was launched in 2024 to identify research gaps affecting potential impact of the identified Goals in the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention (National Strategy), that the Action Alliance is collectively well positioned to address. If the research is advanced, it will facilitate the near-term progress needed as identified in the National Strategy.
