MRC \/ Medical Research Foundation (MRF)
\n<\/span> Child and young adult mental health \u2013 the underpinning aetiology of self-harm and eating disorders<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

https:\/\/mrc.ukri.org\/funding\/browse\/mrc-mrf\/the-aetiology-of-self-harm-and-eating-disorders\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Up to \u00a32.5m available in total to support high quality pilot studies and research grants to investigate the aetiology and underpinning mechanisms of self-harm or eating disorders, including the underlying bio-psycho-social mechanistic and environmental drivers, in children, adolescents and young adults (up to 25 years).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A key aim is to bring together experts from different research fields, and provide opportunities for researchers already working in associated areas or on other relevant related clinical research to extend the scope of their research interests and develop hypotheses exploring the underlying biology and psychology of these diverse mental health conditions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Associated areas could include other mental health, medical or addictive conditions, for example, ADHD, depression or obesity, or important traits which can underpin these conditions including anxiety, impulsivity and compulsivity.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However, the primary driver of submitted applications must be to better understand eating disorders or self-harm.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As a combined Research Council, Medical Charity call these will be funded at 63% fEC.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Research Grants<\/span><\/span><\/u>: up to 3 years, up to \u00a3500k
\n<\/span> For focused research projects that will increase our understanding of self-harm and\/or eating disorders, with clear rationale, hypotheses and study designs building on current research<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Proof of Principle \/ Pilot Awards:<\/span><\/u> up to 2 years, up to \u00a3250k<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To initiate new scientific partnerships across disciplines and new research activities, focused on discovery science.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The award could be used in a variety of ways to develop new research, e.g. developing new networks or achieving scientific strength through links between and within universities in the UK; progressing a new area and delivering new scientific insights which may lead on to larger future proposals.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Please see full description and guidance documents at the URL above.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Those wishing to apply for the scheme are encouraged to contact the MRC’s Programme manager for Mental Health and Addiction<\/span><\/strong><\/span>, Dr Rachael Panizzo (<\/span>Rachael.panizzo@mrc.ukri.org<\/a>) in the first instance to discuss the prospective bid.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
