About Us
The National Suicide Research Foundation is an independent, multi-disciplinary research unit that investigates the causes of suicide and self-harm in Ireland. We are a registered charity (CHY11351) based in University College Cork, Ireland.
WHO Collaborating Centre
In December 2015, the National Suicide Research Foundation was designated by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a WHO Collaborating Centre for Surveillance and Research in Suicide Prevention.
National Self-Harm Registry Ireland
Managed by the NSRF, the National Self-Harm Registry Ireland (NSHRI) is a national system of population monitoring for the occurrence of hospital-treated self-harm.
Finding Help
The NSRF is not a service-provider. If you are seeking help for yourself or someone else, there are a number of excellent resources available.
Press Releases
We routinely circulate press releases to the media to highlight noteworthy publications, achievements or events.

Following national public health advice, NSRF staff are currently working from home. The best way to contact us is by email: infonsrf@ucc.ie
