We are writing to you as we believe you may be interested to hear about a new funding opportunity for mental health research provided by Mental Health Research UK and Schizophrenia Research Fund.

Mental Health Research UK PhD Scholarships 2018

Mental Health Research UK and Schizophrenia Research Fund are pleased to announce our UK PhD Scholarships for 2018. The Scholarships aim to support the most promising research scientists who are asking challenging questions that will contribute to advances in mental health research. 

Mental Health Research UK is seeking the best and brightest researchers and the Scholarships are open to UK Universities with a Department active in research in the fields of Schizophrenia and Children and Young People's Mental Health.  Only one application for each Scholarship from each University is permitted.

We invite applications from UK Universities for three PhD Scholarships beginning September 2018. Click on the links for details.

The John Grace QC Scholarship 2018 and Mental Health Research UK PhD Scholarship 2018 will be awarded in the field of schizophrenia and applications that address the positive symptoms of schizophrenia will be given priority. 

Applications for a Scholarship in the field of Children and Young People's Mental Health 2018 are also welcomed. 

Guidance and applications can be downloaded - click on the links above. Deadline for applications is 16th June 2017. Applications must come from University Departments, not from individual research students. It is the responsibility of the successful University to select the student.
