Youth Suicide Prevention Research Act

This bill updates federal research funding by directing the National Science Foundation (NSF) to prioritize two new areas of study: the impact of harmful childhood experiences (like abuse or neglect) and how toxic stress affects youth mental health. It amends existing law to require NSF-funded suicide prevention research to include these specific topics. The bill directly affects NSF research programs and grants focused on youth mental health, ensuring future studies systematically examine these factors. The change is limited to research priorities - no new funding or direct services are created.
