Impact Accelerator Award for Phases I and II award holders
These awards will support and enhance the development and realisation of the impact of research in the NIHR Three Research Schools’ Mental Health Programme from Phases 1 and II.
These awards have been developed to address a gap, as we recognise that the ‘best way’ to share and support the use of research findings may not be well understood at the outset of a project when funding for these activities is usually secured. These awards can be considered for dissemination and communication activities identified during and at the end of a project. They could also be used to track future impact. These awards enable flexibility and development of dissemination and impact after the research has been initiated or ended (please note, this funding will not support additional open access funding requests). 

This competition is now open and will close at 12.30pm on Thursday 17 April 2025.

*Please note, non HEI organisations can be costed up to 100%. Overheads should not be included for non HEI organisations and must be removed from the ‘Institutions & Organisations’ worksheet of the costing template where they are generated but do not apply.
