Improving mental health and wellbeing in underserved populations through collaborative research

April 2024 to March 2026

PHASE TWO

We are thrilled to announce that the National Health Institute for Health and Social care (NIHR) has invested a further £4.98 million in the Three NIHR Research Schools’ Mental Health Programme. This second phase will build on our early successes in phase one, supporting the implementation of evidence into practice and policy and will be prioritised to populations and themes not significantly represented in phase one.

Suicide Prevention
Research funding in phase 2 will build on early successes, supporting the implementation of evidence into practice and policy. In this funding call, we are interested in applications with a specific focus on Suicide Prevention.  For this round we are particularly interested in research that will rapidly be able to demonstrate impact and/or inform policy.  
We have a maximum budget of £400,000 and are looking only to fund one research award.
