Today MQ has opened applications for our next Fellows Award.
This year’s theme is ‘Gone too soon’ which aligns with our next thematic focus that supports research into premature mortality, namely suicide and comorbidities.
The links between physical and mental health are still not completely understood, and sadly people with serious mental illnesses pass away on average 10-15 years earlier than the general population.
Our Fellows Award supports talented, early-career researchers with bold ideas from across the globe, who aspire to be the next generation of leaders in mental health research. It's open to scientists from all disciplines related to mental health research. Research may involve theoretical, experimental, social sciences or medical humanities approaches.
Professor Marcus Munafò, Chair of the Fellows Committee, said:
“The Fellows Award is a unique opportunity for early career researchers who want to make a real difference and transform what it means to experience mental illness for generations to come.
It lets them establish themselves as independent, world-leading scientists, and join an incredible community of MQ researchers who are passionate about improving our understanding of mental health and developing new treatments.”
Key details:
This award is open to any early career researcher, from any institution globally, whose work examines the premature death of people suffering from mental illness and mental distress.
