Capacity building activities

Our Centre aims to build social science and mental health research capacity, both within and beyond the Centre. We do this by supporting early career researchers (ECRs) to develop their skills and careers, by offering education and training programmes, and by creating opportunities to engage with community and academic partners and organisations outside academia.

Capacity building activities offered through the Centre include the following: 

  • Introductory and advanced research methods training, delivered through the Primers & Provocations series, short courses and an online research methods toolkit
  • Individual mentoring for early career researchers
  • Grant writing support and peer feedback sessions
  • Impact, public engagement, and knowledge exchange training

 

Mind, Body & Social Contexts: interdisciplinary pump-priming research call

The ESRC Centre for Society and Mental Health invites applications from Early Career Researchers (ECRs) at the ESRC Centre for Society & Mental Health for pump-priming awards of up to £30,000 for projects lasting up to 12 months. The pump-priming scheme aims to support innovative, interdisciplinary research focused on mental health at the interface between mind, body and social contexts. The funding is intended to support ECR career development and to lay the groundwork for future research collaborations and external funding applications. Application deadline: 22 January 2027, 5.00pm.
