Partnering with Beyond Assumption

How can we help?

We support early-stage, science-led research that challenges and advances our understanding of suicide, particularly the biological factors that can increase suicide risk – how brain chemistry, genetics, inflammation, and stress systems interact – and how these markers might be identified earlier in individuals. 

We work with researchers in two main ways:

  • working closely with research teams whose work closely aligns with our mission, working collaboratively to explore the biological and physiological factors involved in suicide risk, or research that challenges established assumptions

  • we also welcome direct applications from individuals and organisations undertaking research that aligns with our objectives. This helps us stay open to new ideas, emerging researchers, and work that may not yet have a high profile but shows real promise.

Whichever route applies, we’re most interested in

•Scientific rigour and credibility
•New or challenging ways of thinking
•Clear potential to inform real-world understanding or practice
