As part of its commitment to developing mental health research capacity, the IoMH has established three PhD studentships for entry in the 2019/20 academic year.
Successful studentships
The IoMH have successfully awarded 2019/20 PhD Studentships to fund three proposals that support interdisciplinary mental health research.
