to further the development of Suicide Mortality Review (SMR) programming, to improve the understanding of suicide deaths and facilitate tailored interventions. These cooperative agreements are part of a broader SMR program within the <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.samhsa.gov/smvf-ta-center/mayors-governors-challenges" target="_blank" class="external">Governor’s and Mayor’s Challenges to Prevent Suicide Among Service Members, Veterans, and their Families | SAMHSA</a> (Governor’s Challenge)⁠—an effort between VA and the Department of Health and Human Services’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services and Administration which has resulted in the creation of a national network of collaboration in the field of suicide prevention.</p> <p><a href="/smr/docs/FY-2024-Suicide-Mortality-Review-Cooperative-Agreement-Recipient-List.pdf" target="_blank">Suicide Mortality Review Cooperative Agreement Fiscal Year 2024 Recipients</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p><strong>Last updated: September 27, 2024</strong></p> <h2>About the Cooperative Agreements</h2> <p>The Suicide Mortality Review Cooperative Agreements (SMR-CA) supports states, territories, and Tribal entities in establishing, coordinating, and managing Suicide Mortality Review Committees (SMRCs) to identify and characterize suicide deaths and support the capacity to develop and implement data-informed strategies to prevent suicide, including suicide among Veterans.</p> <p>Suicide Mortality Reviews (SMRs) are systematic and comprehensive reviews of deaths that are intended to develop recommended strategies to prevent future deaths. SMRs are conducted by SMR Committees, which access multiple sources of clinical and non-clinical information that provide a deeper understanding of the circumstances surrounding a death. The SMRCs then develop recommendations for action to prevent similar deaths in the future.</p> <p>SMR-CA aims to establish and increase the capacity of states, territories, and Tribes to collect high-quality uniform suicide death data, expand suicide death reviews, and ultimately translate data into suicide prevention actions at community, state, territorial, Tribal, and national levels. States, territories, and Tribes may identify key counties, cities, municipalities, or other political subdivisions in their own jurisdictions with whom they wish to coordinate for local SMRC development and implementation.</p> <p>These cooperative agreements are part of a broader Suicide Mortality Review Program within the <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.samhsa.gov/smvf-ta-center/mayors-governors-challenges" target="_blank" class="external">Governor’s and Mayor’s Challenges to Prevent Suicide Among Service Members, Veterans, and their Families Program</a> (Governor’s Challenge).

Please note there are required performance outcomes outlined in those tables for each focus area that need to be addressed. For instance, what is your population for [sample county(s)] and what type of key partners are unique to that area. Personalize the model based on the jurisdictions you plan to support with those efforts. Ensure you are listing your specific county or counties (etc) included in your planning, names of actual organizational partners who you plan to build or strengthen relationships with, and key populations that are tied to the data on the population of your geographic areas. Cultural context is key to the type of areas served. For instance, an area that has a lethal means rate of over 75% death by firearm, but only submits a plan to focus on medication storage, is not addressing the unique population risk for that jurisdiction.</p> </div> </div> </div>   <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading" id="headingAccFAQ9" role="tab"> <h4 class="accordion-title"><a role="button" href="#AccFAQ9" class="collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#FAQs" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="AccFAQ9">What are the required personnel resumes that need to be included as part of the application? </a></h4> </div> <div class="panel-collapse collapse" id="AccFAQ9" aria-labelledby="headingAccFAQ9" role="tabpanel"> <div class="panel-body"> <p>The “personnel resume” request is intended for those whose salary would be supported by the cooperative agreements.
