Dear colleagues,

One of our Research Associates has been sent to me to find out about sources of funding to support his research when the current budget runs out next year.  Not something I know much about, but I have sent him links to the University’s Research Support Office and its sources of information on funding, and to the relevant research councils and the Wellcome trust. 

I’ve also referred him to Vitae. http://www.vitae.ac.uk/researchers/457451/Applying-for-funding.html

 

However this is all possibly a bit general. Can anyone suggest a good source of funding for his work, which is currently in mental health.  He is also interested in IT applications to promote health and well-being.  I would particularly like to know of any charities in the mental health area which have a good track-record in  funding larger projects. 

 

Thanks.

Jenny
