We are delighted to introduce our first two cohorts of Reseach Fellows. These individuals, who all work in or with mental health services across the North Thames region, have received funding from the Mental Health Research for All programme to get involved in research.
Our fellows have received three different kinds of funding: Research Internships, Career Development Fellowships and Springboard Funding Awards.
