Hi Michael,
Thanks for getting back to me. I’m happy to give some thought to any area that relates to child and adolescent mental health that has a critical/community
slant to it. I will hold onto your email and area of interest and will collate the responses I get (if get more that is) and, if everyone is keen, we could give some thought to the areas put forward and attempt to develop some of them further. The PDG application
only needs a rough outline of at least two projects as the aim of the group is to develop the ideas into a funding application.
Thanks,
Charles

Dear Charles, this is very interesting and it sounds like a really good approach. I would be really interested in anything to do
with parental mental health. I am not sure what your particular setting looks like but if it is anything like here in Liverpool you would have half of your parents in your clinic or more suffering with mental health problems that are already identified. It
has an impact both on the child's mental health and on service delivery.
If there is anything of use in this I would be keen to use any opportunity to get involved with it to the best of my ability.
Michael.

Hi all,
I recently had an email from the Scottish Mental Health Research Network regarding Protocol Development Groups. I don’t know very much about the
SMHRN or the PDGs; maybe others on the list know more? From the email I received, the main purpose of the groups was stated as ‘to bring together researchers and clinicians with a shared interest in a specific topic and focus on the production of high quality,
fundable research proposals’. If excepted as a PDG, the group would have funds up to £5000 to support the development of a research proposal, which the SMHRN would attempt to fund (or suggest possible funds to apply for). My understanding is that the aim
of the group is to develop ideas for research in their chosen area and submit at least one application to a research funder within 18-months of the PDG award. The award is to ‘support protocol development activities, in addition to administrative and methodological
support for the Network team’. I’ve spoken with someone from the SMHRN about areas of research that would be considered and they said they’d be keen to receive an application from a group interested in critical and community psychology.
I was wondering whether anyone on the list would be interested working together to put forward an application to become a PDG and then working
together to develop a research project. I’d be keen to hear from others in Scotland interested in putting together something (in terms of my location) but I’d be more than happy to hear from anyone (anywhere else) who’d be interested. The only stipulation
of the SMHRN is that the lead researcher is based in Scotland. I currently work in a child and adolescent mental health service but I’d be happy to involved in others areas if others are interested. If anyone wants more information, I’m happy to forward
the email I received.
Many thanks,
Charles
