Research wants to be a part of the solution to suicide prevention…
During the screening of possible volunteers for studies, many questions are asked to make sure the individual meets criteria, one of them being suicidal ideation — instead of simply stating they do not meet criteria, the operator can either give the number to the National Suicide and Mental Health Crisis Lifeline or give a “warm” hand off to a suicide prevention specialist.

Research is always looking for ways to better the lives of those who choose to participate in a study. Under current guidelines, individuals who may be suicidal may not be permitted to enter a clinical trial. There are many reasons for this, but the safety of the volunteer is at the heart of research practices. With clinical research call centers fielding thousands of calls on a yearly basis, the purpose of project STARR 911 is to build collaboration between clinical research and suicide prevention.
