Mission Statement

The Penn Innovation in Suicide Prevention Implementation Research (INSPIRE) Center’s overarching goals are to: (1) Develop and adapt suicide prevention interventions, and (2) Design and test implementation strategies to optimize how evidence-based practices can be brought to scale efficiently and with high fidelity.  INSPIRE focuses on intervention and assessment practices that can be deployed rapidly in a range of practice settings, and in collaboration with community partners. In this way, INSPIRE’s interdisciplinary research team will transform approaches to suicide prevention.
