The NIHR Schools for Primary Care Research (SPCR), Public Health Research (SPHR) and Social Care Research (SSCR) (“three Schools”) have joined together in a unique collaboration between leading academic centres in England to collaborate on a programme of work funded through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR): Improving mental health and wellbeing in underserved populations through collaborative research.

We have launched a call for NIHR Three Research Schools’ Mental Health Fellowships, the application deadline is Noon Thursday 28th July 2022.

Applications are invited 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 quality of the applications received will determine how many fellowships will be funded but all fellowships must have ended by 31 March 2024. Part time fellowships will be considered (0.6FTE minimum). Fellows will be based across the three Schools’ Departments to ensure they receive the academic support needed to develop a strong research career within the remit of this programme. Cross-institutional supervision and exchange placements will be encouraged.
