Description
This award will fund innovative projects that combine computational and experimental neuroscience approaches to improve understanding of symptoms of anxiety, depression and psychosis.
Proposals must have a focus on understanding the development, maintenance or resolution of one or more symptoms associated with anxiety, depression and/or psychosis.
Researchers must take a symptom-based approach rather than looking solely at diagnostic categories and are required to provide:
- Evidence that the one or more symptoms you have specified are a core feature of anxiety, depression and/or psychosis (broadly defined; the one or more symptoms chosen may be transdiagnostic or specific to one mental health problem).
- A brief explanation of why the one or more symptoms you have specified are important for people with lived experience of anxiety, depression and/or psychosis. This could be evidenced through existing qualitative literature and/or focus groups as part of project development.
If you are unclear about whether your proposed idea would be in scope for this call, you can send a very brief summary of your idea (no more than 200 words) to Wellcome by Tuesday, July 9, 2024.
