Improving the Impact of Psychological Treatments (Psy-IMPACT) Programme
Over £1million available in 2014 Psy-IMPACT Funding Three funding streams focused on the goal to stimulate innovation and advances in the field of psychological treatments
FUNDING STREAM ONEPRELIMINARY STUDIES OF NEW TREATMENTS |
| MQ is inviting applications for support to conduct preliminary or proof of concept studies of new treatments. Preference will be given to theory-driven studies of promising psychological interventions that have a robust scientific underpinning based on psychological, biological, or social mechanisms, or combinations thereof. One or two awards of up to £500,000 will be made. |
FUNDING STREAM TWOeTHERAPY |
| MQ is keen to fund systematic studies of existing online/app-based interventions that employ public health research strategies to understand how the use of eTherapy interventions might be expanded. Such "direct-to-consumer" studies should ideally conform to the standards used to evaluate face-to-face treatments and report details of recruitment, user engagement and adherence, treatment response and maintenance of effects. One or two awards of up to £500,000 will be made. |
FUNDING STREAM THREEMEDIATORS AND MODERATORS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL TREATMENT EFFECTS |
| MQ is seeking proposals designed to identify the mediators and moderators of psychological treatment effects. It is expected that the research will make use of one or more existing high-quality data sets that are suited for this purpose. A detailed plan for the analysis of the data will be required. Awards of up to £100,000 will be made. |
