Eastern Arc Webinar: Mental Health Research Funding in the UK

Phil Ward

This webinar is an opportunity to discuss the funding landscape for mental health research in the UK with colleagues from MQ, MRC and NIHR.

It&#x27;s widely recognised that &#x27;mental health research is underfunded relative to the burden of disease&#x27; (Woelbert, Kirtley, Balmer, Dix 2019). According to the MQ Funding Landscape Analysis 2014-17, around £125m of research funding is spent annually on mental health conditions.Hosted by the Eastern Arc&#x27;s Health Systems, Social Care and Wellbeing theme, this webinar is an opportunity to hear from MQ about its analysis, and to understand the priorities of two key funders of mental health research in the UK: the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the National Institutes of Health Research (NIHR). <ul><li>12:00 	Introduction (Phil Ward, Director of Eastern Arc)</li><li>12:10	 Mental Health Research Funding in the UK (Lea Milligan, CEO of MQ)</li><li>12:20	 The View from the Funders: Medical Research Council (Karen Brakspear, Head of Programme – Mental Health) and National Institute for Health Research (Kathryn Abel, NIHR Clinical Research Network National Specialty Lead for Mental Health)</li><li>12:30	 Discussion (Chaired by Phil Ward)</li><li>13:00	 End</li></ul>
