Are you an Early Career Researcher interested in mental health research?

Based on the priorities from a cross-network survey led by the Closing the Gap Network the Coordination Team for the 8 UKRI-funded Mental Health Research Networks have organised a free 2-part event series bringing together researchers from across the networks to provide proactive advice on applying to and securing mental health research funding, career development, and networking.

 We are defining Early Career Researchers very broadly to include graduate students and postdoctoral researchers.

EVENT 1 – Getting mental health research funding as an ECR - Monday 30 November 2020, 1pm to 4:10pm

The first event focuses on funding. Hear from the perspective both of network funded ECRs and funders on what makes a successful application, have your funding questions addressed by a funding representative and take part in an exciting competition!

EVENT 2 – Networking and Career Development - Monday 7 December 2020, 1pm to 3:40pm

The second event focuses on networking and career development. You will have the chance to attend a series of “salon-style” breakout rooms where you will be able to ask all kinds of career and funding advice to senior researchers and PI’s with a variety of research interests and backgrounds.

Although there is no requirement to attend both events as they will build on each other this is recommended if you can make it.
