UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC): GCRF New social and cultural insights into mental, neurological and substance use disorders in developing countries

This call aims to fund a portfolio of innovative and interdisciplinary research that provides social and cultural perspectives on mental, neurological, and substance use (MNS) disorders in developing countries. Proposals should address one of the following themes:

• Socio-economic and cultural contexts of MNS disorders and people’s understanding of them
• Living with MNS disorders in developing countries
• Prevention, worsening of and resilience against MNS disorders

Funding: up to £1,250,000 for 30 months.

Applications must be led by a researcher at a UK-based organization eligible to hold ESRC grants. However, non-UK academic researchers may be eligible to be included as an international co-investigator. International co-investigator’s contribution to a project must not exceed 30% of the overall cost of the grant.
