Thanks, Nick.  It really doesn't pay to get mentally ill!  Here across the pond, we have our own struggles with the same issues--probably more so, given the fact that most medical and mental health care is privatized.

Subject: CaFTR RE: MQ & research funding

Dear Geoff et al.

MQ is an interesting organisation, recently set up to support mental health
research - not just open to UK researchers, I believe, but very competitive.
It is worth taking a look at their website - http://www.joinmq.org/

The link that Alison sent is more specifically about a report that MQ have
just published, about funding for MH research. Although the data is from the
UK, I think it makes sober reading for all of us. The key points are:

- For every £1 spent by the Government on mental health research, the
general public gives just 0.3p. The equivalent general public donation for
cancer is £2.75.
- £9.75 is invested in research per person affected by mental illness – over
100 times less than the amount spent on cancer research per patient
(£1,571).
Most mental health conditions have even lower investment figures, including
autism (£3.98 per person affected), depression (£1.55), and OCD (89p). For
anxiety and eating disorder research, less than 21 pence is spent per person
affected.

I think this is the kind of information that is worth kicking up a fuss
about, especially (here in the UK) in an election year, when the issue of
mental health (and child mental health) has - to some degree - been on the
agenda...

Best wishes,

Nick

I assume this grant opportunity is for UK researchers only?

Thanks Claudia

I’m also forwarding an email about research funding and analysis which might
be of interest for colleagues.

Subject: MQ's new landscape analysis of mental health research funding
published today
Date: 2 April 2015 07:53:54 BST

Dear Colleague,

I am pleased to be able to share with you MQ's new landscape analysis of
mental health research
funding<http://www.joinmq.org/pages/mental-health-research-funding-landscape
-report>, which has been published today.

This report provides the most comprehensive overview of mental health
research funding to-date, including:

  *   A new 6 year analysis of all UK mental health research grants
  *   Snapshot estimates of research spend per person affected by mental
health conditions
  *   Discussion of our findings in the context of existing mental health
information and wider health conditions

As the report outlines, whilst funding of mental health research is
significant (£115 million a year), historic levels of investment do not
match the scale or impact of mental illness. As we know, one of the major
reasons for this is the lack of public charity funding in the sector - an
issue that MQ has been set up to address.

The report contains important data across a range of mental health
conditions, and also looks specifically at psychological treatments and
bipolar research. We hope it will provide a useful tool to inform ongoing
discussions on prioritising research.  MQ intends to publish the work
annually, so that we can track progress, monitor developments and develop
strategies.

You can read the press release for the report
here<http://www.joinmq.org/news-opinion/entry/new-analysis-reveals-historic-
under-funding-of-uk-mental-health-research> – and read through a number of
background documents, including the full methodology
here<http://www.joinmq.org/pages/mental-health-research-funding-landscape-re
port>.

Please do share the report and findings with your contacts and networks or
through social media – we look forward to hearing your comments. We’ll be
using the hashtag #supportresearch for our activity – so please do join in.

Let me know if you would like to discuss this report, the findings, or MQ’s
ongoing plans.

With best wishes

Neil
