Applications Invited for Mental Health Award: Accelerating scalable digital mental health interventions

Follow us@ngobox

About the Organization

Wellcome is a global charitable foundation established in 1936. Through our work we support science to solve the urgent health issues facing everyone.

Henry Wellcome (1853-1936) was a pharmaceutical entrepreneur. He left us three things in his will: his wealth, his collection of historical medical items, and a mission to improve health through research.

About the Grant

This call will fund research to evaluate and further develop scalable digital interventions to advance early intervention in depression, anxiety and psychosis. Teams must have the research expertise required to drive the proposed research, an organisation which can take the intervention to scale (whether a company or not-for-profit) and lived experience experts. This call is open to interventions designed to lead to reductions in symptom(s) and/or functional impairments related to anxiety, depression or psychosis. We expect teams to already have a minimum viable product and feasibility data for their intervention.
