A global map of mental health research funding: Implications for research, policy and practice
Title
A global map of mental health research funding: How will we use the evidence to inform research, policy and practice?
Agenda
This interactive virtual session provided an early peek at the results from the IAMHRF's Global Funding Landscape Study, which contains detailed global map of the sources, destinations, priorities and amounts of mental health research spending between 2015 and 2019. We discussed how these new insights could be used across the mental health sector. Our panel of experts in research and development, public health policy, global mental health, and impact investment, facilitated key crucial debates with the aim of agreeing on practical next steps.
