First, you are wrong to say that 400k would be better spent on more suicide prevention than on humidity sensors (no matter how expensively implemented, like here.) By all accounts, that's the only money being spent on humidity sensing; with suicide prevention you're very far down the curve of diminishing returns.
Do you have any examples of suicide training or intervention services that need more funding? Are the 24 hour hotlines over-utilized? Do you propose to move the needle by hiring some consultants for flashier training powerpoints? As to the research part, I'm a little curious which aspects of the DoD's suicide research you think need to be enhanced. For my part, I'd like to see base rate data alongside demographic and other statistics in the annual report.
