requires the VA to provide briefings about the grant program at least once a year to certain personnel at each VA medical center located within 100 miles from the primary location of a grantee;
requires baseline mental health screenings for risk provided as suicide prevention services under the program to use a protocol selected by the VA; and

In subsequent applications, grantees who have previously received funds under the program must include evidence that previously awarded funds served a significant number of veterans.
