UK Mental Health Research Funding 2014 - 2017
Our latest report, UK Mental Health Research Funding 2014-2017, shows that the level of mental health research funding in the UK is not meeting the scale or the impact of mental illness.
It looks at how much money is invested in research, through lenses including "spend by type of research" and "spend by condition." It also puts mental health research funding into context, comparing the research spend per person affected by mental illness to that spent on physical illnesses such as cancer and cardiovascular disease.
