Supporting the next generation of researchers

Addressing the global male suicide crisis requires a new wave of dedicated researchers equipped to tackle its complexities. One of our funding priorities will be to establish a PhD funding programme to support the next generation of researchers focused on advancing understanding and developing solutions for men in crisis.

There are still significant gaps in our understanding of male suicide

Building the evidence we need will take more than individual studies.

It means investing in the people who will develop programmes of research into male suicide for years to come.

We are already supporting several PhD researchers whose work is helping to deepen understanding of male suicide. Our ambition is to build on this work by developing a dedicated programme of support for emerging researchers, with opportunities to learn from one another, collaborate across disciplines and countries, and develop specialist expertise in male suicide.

We will prioritise research that addresses important unanswered questions, including those identified through our agenda of Male Suicide Research Priorities.

This work will help

  • Expand the global evidence base
  • Develop insights for effective interventions
  • Build global capacity for tackling the male suicide crisis across countries.
  • Support the next generation of male suicide experts
