Mental Health Award: Using physical activity and circadian-based interventions to reduce anxiety and depression in young people
Wellcome
Clinical/health

Mental health science, plus “the science of circadian systems and/or physical activity”; applicants “from any relevant discipline”.

Call for research teams on physical-activity and circadian-based interventions against anxiety and depression in young people. Wellcome expects to make 5 to 10 awards. The administering organisation may be anywhere in the world (apart from mainland China); the interventions themselves must take place in the UK and/or Africa.
Next deadline: unclear
Deadline: One-off call (“Frequency: One-off”); currently “Closed to applications” (as of 31 July 2026). The page states no new date.
Funding amount: £1-4 million per grant
Target group: Research teams led by an established researcher, “from any relevant discipline”. The administering organisation may sit anywhere — “Administering organisation location: Anywhere in the world (apart from mainland China)” — so an Austrian organisation is not excluded. Note: “Interventions must take place in the UK and/or Africa”, which is where the work happens, not where the applicant sits. Co-applicants are required.
