Funding: The CMHP-PRUK Research AwardMarch

24/11/2025 12:00 am → 25/03/2026 1:00 pm    Pharmacy Research UK    Any;   Underway

Pharmacy Research UK (PRUK) and the College of Mental Health Pharmacy (CMHP) are working together to offer full or associate members of the CMHP the opportunity to receive a Research Award for projects which aim to benefit patients with mental illness, and which contribute to enhancing the quality of care with psychiatric medicines through improving pharmaceutical services or ensuring safe and effective use of medicines.

The CMHP and PRUK specifically wish to support projects in the following areas:

• Cross sector communication and interface working,
• Medicines safety/optimisation for those with mental illness by community, general practice or general hospital pharmacy teams,
• Relapse prevention and keeping well (including maintaining adherence),
• Mental health services in community and primary care, or equivalent areas, and/or
• Managing public health issues in mental health (e.g. physical health).

This partnership offers up to £20,000 for CMHP members to pursue research in line with the areas highlighted above, with a focus on future patient benefit. This year, they are able to fund two proposals. The research must not exceed 20 months duration and successful award holders will be expected to present their research at a future CMHP conference. Applications with a focus on substance misuse may be accepted provided the project aims to benefit patients with co-morbid mental illness.

Eligibility

To be considered eligible for submission the project must:

• Align to the CMHP-PRUK Research Award scope criteria described above
• Have a lead applicant who is registered with a professional regulatory body for pharmacy in their home nation (e.g. the General Pharmaceutical Council), and who is also a full or associate member of CMHP at the time of applying and will remain member for the duration of the proposed research
• Be completed between 12 to 20 months (unless under exceptional circumstances)
• Be based in the UK. Organisations outside of the UK are welcome to collaborate on projects, however the lead institution must be UK-based and the project must have relevance for the UK, and
• Request no more than £20,000. The judging panel may decide to award the total amount to one or two projects or to one or more smaller projects.

PhD Studentship: The impact of public partnerships on the implementation of mental health researchMarch

31/03/2026 12:00 am    Keele University    Doctoral;   Open - 15 days to go

Despite substantial investment in mental health research, a persistent implementation gap remains between the generation of evidence and its implementation into routine practice.

This PhD aims to address this gap by systematically examining the role of public partnerships in the implementation of mental health research. Specifically, it will explore the mechanisms through which partnership processes (e.g. co-production, trust-building, shared decision-making, and power-sharing) shape the design and delivery of implementation processes. By focusing on the implementation of research, the study responds to calls for more nuanced, theory-informed explorations of public involvement that move beyond descriptive accounts to examine causal pathways and outcomes.

Funding is available for 3 years at full-time or part-time (0.8FTE). This studentship includes both 100% Home tuition fees and stipend support for 3 years.

Eligibility

Essential criteria:

• An undergraduate degree in health sciences or other cognate discipline (e.g. psychology, sociology)
• Knowledge of mental health, healthcare policies and primary and community-based care
• Familiarity with theories and concepts relevant to mental health research
• Effective communication (oral and written) skills, presentation and training skills
• Good interpersonal skills
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team on research programmes
• Ability to initiate, plan, organise, implement and deliver programmes of work
• Willingness to learn new skills

PhD Studentship: Constructing age and mental health: discourses of stigma and exclusion in policy and practiceMarch

31/03/2026 12:00 am    Keele University    Doctoral;   Open - 15 days to go

Older people (aged 60+ years) experience mental health problems such as anxiety and depression at a similar proportion to other age groups. However, older people are less likely to seek help from professional services to address mental health symptoms. Older people also face forms of exclusion linked to perceptions of older age and the increasing digitalisation of healthcare. Stigma and discrimination linked to ageism, ethnicity, poverty, gender and sexuality pose significant barriers to help-seeking for mental health problems among older adults

This interdisciplinary PhD Studentship brings together research on mental health policy and practice to examine exclusionary practices and develop recommendations for future policy.

Funding is available for 3 years at full-time or part-time (0.8FTE). This studentship includes both 100% Home tuition fees and stipend support for 3 years.

Eligibility

Essential criteria:

• An undergraduate degree in health sciences or other cognate discipline (e.g. psychology, sociology)
