Career Development Award
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 inviting applications from those in the early stages of their mental health research careers to further develop their academic careers and build their research networks. We are particularly interested in applications from health and care professionals working in mental health but without a strong track record of mental health research (including but not limited to social work, nursing, midwifery, pharmacy, public health practitioners, housing providers, care home managers, paramedics) and methodologists (including social scientists, statisticians, economists and evidence synthesis experts) wishing to develop research careers in the area spanned by this programme.
The applicant must be linked to one of the university members of the Three NIHR Schools.
