eNurture will identify, research, fund and deliver a range of innovative activities urgently needed to promote children and young people’s mental health in a digital world.

How to get involved
The network engages with academic and youth-led communities, and our partner organisations including schools and charities, to understand and identify new avenues and topics of enquiry. Outputs from these engagements guide all network activities and research.
Youth and Community Engagement
Our funding programme explores children and young people’s mental health issues related to the digital world. We work closely with community groups, youth organisations, teachers and parents to ensure their voices inform the Research Commissioning process. This includes the creation of a Youth Panel (up to age 18) that will contribute to the commissioning and assessment of project proposals. Join the Youth Panel
Seed Funding
Seed funding is available to network partners, communities and academics for activities to explore topics in depth and identify which modes of collaborative work and research are optimal to foster new knowledge.
networking and dissemination Events
Network members that apply for funding will be invited to events designed to help shape and finalise their applications. These events will provide feedback and opportunities to revise applications to ensure they are well aligned to eNurture objectives.
eNurture will commission policy papers drawing from network activities to provide targeted guidance valuable for policy making and practice. Outputs and commissions will be shared with network members and disseminated widely via open events. These might include workshops, sandpits and seminar events, and will involve input from children and young people where relevant.
If you are working in an area that aims to promote positive mental health outcomes for child mental health in a digital world, this network is an opportunity for you to work with like-minded individuals, share expertise and engage in collaborative projects to develop understanding of this increasingly prominent area for children and young people’s mental health.
YOU are our network – we look forward to working with you and to building new and exciting partnerships! Join eNurture
Research funding
eNurture has a Network Plus Funding Programme to support short and longer-term research collaborations between partners and academic communities that directly respond to the issues and questions identified through the network’s engagement activities.
Small (£2k-£10k), medium (£10k-£25k) and larger funds (up to £45k) will support short-term research, feasibility and pilot studies or longer research collaborations between network partners and members, early research career researches (ECRs) and academics that directly respond to the challenges identified by network’s partners. These may include follow-on funding to scale pilot projects, the design of ‘proof of concept’, and other more substantial projects emerging from this network with the potential to generate future research opportunities. Multidisciplinary collaborations between partners and ECRs are encouraged and support will be available during the project proposal planning stage.
We completed our first funding call in July 2019. Click here for information on eNurture-funded projects
