UKRI funding for SMaRteN included ‘plus-funding’ to pump prime new research into student mental health. Over the life of the network, we will be running four funding calls. The total funding available through these calls is £400,000, with approximately £100,000 allocated to each call.
SMaRteN's Third Funding call: Coordinating longitudinal studies into student mental health
We are inviting proposals for research coordination to support universities to collaborate in collecting data to improve our understanding of student mental health. Funding is available as part of the UKRI ‘plus’ funding scheme for Mental Health Networks.
We will fund a coordination project that can provide national support. As more universities look to develop cohorts to better understand the mental health of their students, there is a need for coordination. Being able to pool data across institutions or draw comparisons between institutions has multiple benefits including improving generalisability of findings, exploring topics relevant to minority student groups, and creating the opportunity to test the impact of institutional interventions. To achieve this, the sector needs guidance, agreement around standardised protocols and support developing protocols for storing and linking anonymised data for combined analysis.
The total funding available through this call is £50,000. We expect to award funding to a single project, to run for up to two years.
Applicants should submit proposals by 17.00 on Wednesday 2nd September 2020.
Projects must be completed by October 2022.
