""at the heart""
""Scientific research has led to breakthroughs that are changing the game for physical health problems like cancer and heart disease. We should be every bit as ambitious for what science can do in tackling mental health challenges,""
""By making the right resources readily accessible we can look to a future where mental health is tackled faster, more precisely, and more effectively.""
The government announced up to £50 million in new funding to accelerate research into mental health treatments and technologies. The initiative will prioritize people with lived experience in shaping scientific innovation and therapy development. Funding is part of the Mental Health Goals programme to speed testing, approval, and rollout of new treatments across the NHS. The Medical Research Council will oversee delivery through UK Research and Innovation, with emphasis on improving access to national health data and research infrastructure. Planned investments include a 20,000-person volunteer cohort, an Industry Alliance Team linking innovators with NHS research facilities, and a Lived Experience Industry Partnership to guide research priorities, design, and delivery.
