Suicide Prevention/Mental Health Research - School of Social Work


The FL LEADS project is a five-year, federally funded grant seeking to transform and improve suicide care practices, standards, and outcomes in health/behavioral health systems throughout rural and urban counties in northeast, northwest, central, and west Florida. Rooted in cultural competency and evidence-based research, this multi-system approach will implement the Zero Suicide (ZS) model. FL LEADS aims to reduce health disparities and inequalities that affect the lives of adults, ages 25 years and older, at risk for suicide and/or experiencing behavioral health disorders, serious mental illnesses, and substance abuse addictions.

Undergraduate Research Assistants (RAs) wanted to help with suicide prevention/mental health research data collection, entry, and evaluation under the mentorship of Dr. Kimberley Gryglewicz, Associate Professor and Co-Director for the Center for Behavioral Health Research and Training in the School of Social Work. RAs are expected to dedicate at least 8 hours a week for two semesters. If interested, please email your resume to lisa.borntrager@ucf.edu
