Wellcome Trust┋Mental Health AWARD
Advancing target validation for novel mental health drug discovery
This call will provide funding for validation activities for novel targets with a clear therapeutic concept and strong biological rationale related to early intervention in anxiety, depression and/or psychosis. Funded proposals will generate data supporting the target’s therapeutic potential in the development of new and improved pharmacological treatments.
This call has been designed in collaboration with the Psychiatry Consortium to help enable early and robust target validation research.
