The Edward Mallen Prize for Mental Health Research is a £20,000 prize funded by the MindEd Trust. It is awarded annually to an early career researcher working at the University of Cambridge whose research focusses on the causation and prevention of suicide and/or depression in young people. The Prize will provide seed funding for translational and applied mental health research that the researcher would not otherwise be able to do, and raise awareness of this important area of research.
To be considered for the Edward Mallen Prize, candidates are asked to write a concise note of approximately 300 words about their career development, and 800 words on how they would envisage spending the prize and the real-life impact it may have.
