We have grouped our research projects into five clusters, to help us optimise how we combine relevant specialist expertise and increase our research capacity, for example grant applications & publications.
The five research clusters are aligned to strategic goals of:
- Connecting for Life; Ireland’s National Strategy for the Reduction of Suicide, 2015-2024 (DoH, 2015)
- WHO Report, Preventing Suicide: A Global Imperative (WHO, 2014)
- UN Sustainable Development Goals (2030), in particular target 3.4, which aims to reduce premature mortality from non-communicable diseases by one third by 2030.
