Mental Health & Wellbeing Network and Community Building [closed]

The Grand Challenge of Mental Health & Wellbeing welcomes applications for funds to support networking, co-production, community and bid building activities. Applications for funding of up to £2,500 will be considered to support activities that enable cross-disciplinary connections, work with individuals and communities with lived experience, and preparation for large-scale research bids.

Bids should be aligned with the key theme of GC MHW of accelerating intervention discovery. We define intervention as any systematic effort to bring about an improvement in the mental health and/or wellbeing of individuals or groups of individuals. Both basic and applied academic work that is critical for helping us find more effective ways to promote wellbeing and mental health will be considered and we strongly encourage applications from across different UCL faculties.
