CAPES News
The Center for Accelerating Practices to End Suicide (CAPES) is based at UMass Chan Medical School and is co-directed by Dr. Edwin Boudreaux and D. Catarina Kiefe. CAPES is funded by the National Institute of Mental Health as one of its Practice-Based Suicide Prevention Research Centers (P50MH129701). Our mission is to save lives by accelerating the uptake of evidence-based suicide care. Our multi-disciplinary faculty members draw on the fields implementation science, person-centered design, hybrid clinical trial design, economics, business development, and ethics to maximize the scientific and public health impact of our Center.
