Establishes New Jersey Center for Study and Prevention of Suicide at Rutgers School of Public Health.
This bill establishes the New Jersey Center for the Study and Prevention of Suicide at Rutgers School of Public Health. The center will research suicide causes, prevention methods, and treatment approaches - including individual, community, and societal factors - and work with state policymakers to develop evidence-based programs. It will recruit new researchers, run a competitive grant program for suicide research, and submit annual reports to the Governor and Legislature on its activities and funding. The bill requires annual state funding for the center and allows it to accept additional grants or donations for suicide-related research.
