Problèmes de santé mentale dans le champ d'application
Cet appel porte principalement sur les troubles liés à l'anxiété et aux traumatismes, définis ici comme incluant :
- trouble anxieux généralisé
- trouble panique
- trouble d'anxiété sociale
- tous les types de phobies
- trouble obsessionnel compulsif
- trouble de stress post-traumatique
- trouble de stress aigu
- symptômes diagnostiques trans fortement associés aux conditions ci-dessus (par exemple, hyperréactivité à la menace, pensées négatives répétitives, etc.).
Priorités de recherche
- Une recherche qui tient compte de plusieurs niveaux d'explication
- Les causes et les solutions des problèmes de santé mentale sont susceptibles d'impliquer une combinaison de facteurs biologiques, psychologiques et sociaux. Les approches intégrées sont donc cruciales pour comprendre les mécanismes causaux des problèmes de santé mentale.
- Ils cherchent donc à financer des recherches qui examinent des questions à plus d'un niveau d'explication (par exemple, moléculaire, cellulaire, systémique, cognitif, comportemental, social, environnemental ou sociétal). Cela peut impliquer l'utilisation de différents modèles expérimentaux (par exemple, des modèles d'organoïdes et de rongeurs) et des participants humains ; cependant, ce n'est pas une exigence.
- Recherche dans les pays à revenu faible et intermédiaire
- Sans une meilleure compréhension de la façon dont ces problèmes se développent, persistent et se résolvent dans ces pays, ils ne pourront pas progresser vers la vision d'un monde dans lequel personne n'est freiné par des problèmes de santé mentale.
- Ils cherchent donc à financer des recherches dans et/ou entre les pays à revenu faible et intermédiaire, afin de mieux comprendre comment différents contextes peuvent avoir un impact sur la trajectoire des problèmes liés à l'anxiété.
Informations sur le financement
- Projets de toute durée jusqu'à 5 ans
- Les candidats doivent demander la durée du financement qui convient à leur projet.
- Projets de tout budget jusqu'à 4 millions de livres sterling.
- Il n'y a pas de montant moyen pour cet appel. Vous devriez demander le niveau de financement dont vous avez besoin pour la recherche que vous proposez.
Exemples d'autres éléments dans la portée
Les propositions de recherche peuvent :
- Inclure des objectifs de recherche secondaires et des activités explorant comment les problèmes liés à l'anxiété précèdent ou se développent parallèlement à la dépression et/ou à la psychose (les deux d'intérêt stratégique pour Wellcome), mais cela ne peut pas être l'objectif principal de la proposition de recherche.
- Examinez les interactions entre les différents facteurs de causalité.
- Explorez plusieurs mécanismes pour un seul facteur causal.
- Regardez comment les problèmes liés à l'anxiété se développent, persistent et se résolvent tout au long de la vie d'un individu.
- Concentrez-vous sur des populations de tout âge, mais expliquez comment les connaissances auraient en fin de compte des implications pour une intervention précoce.
- Concentrez-vous sur les symptômes transdiagnostiques des problèmes de santé mentale qui peuvent être ressentis par les personnes souffrant de problèmes liés à l'anxiété (par exemple, inquiétude persistante ou irritabilité).
- Étudier les problèmes liés à l'anxiété dans le contexte d'autres conditions (par exemple, étudier comment le trouble anxieux généralisé se développe dans le contexte de l'autisme).
- Concentrez-vous sur les populations sous-représentées et/ou sous-étudiées (par exemple, les enfants vivant avec une déficience intellectuelle, les communautés de minorités ethniques).
- Mener des recherches comparatives (par exemple, comparer la façon dont le trouble de stress post-traumatique se développe dans les pays à revenu faible et/ou intermédiaire par rapport à un pays à revenu élevé).
Qui peut postuler ?
- Vous pouvez postuler à cet appel si vous êtes une équipe de chercheurs :
- de toute discipline pertinente
- d'un organisme admissible
- basé partout dans le monde (à l'exception de la Chine continentale )
- Ils encouragent les candidatures de:
- des équipes diversifiées et interdisciplinaires, avec des collaborations couvrant de multiples domaines d'expertise (par exemple, biologique, psychologique et social)
- les chercheurs à n'importe quel stade de leur carrière, y compris les chercheurs en début de carrière et/ou ceux qui sont nouveaux dans le domaine des sciences de la santé mentale
- Chaque candidature doit inclure l'expertise de l'équipe et le soutien organisationnel nécessaires pour répondre aux questions de recherche proposées. La contribution de chaque codemandeur (et collaborateur, le cas échéant) au projet doit être justifiée. Les équipes peuvent envisager d'impliquer des personnes ayant une expérience vécue de problèmes de santé mentale dans l'équipe de projet, en tant que candidats principaux, cocandidats et/ou collaborateurs.
- Le demandeur principal doit :
- Avoir l'expérience nécessaire pour conduire et diriger un projet de recherche collaboratif à grande échelle et/ou les structures de soutien nécessaires en place pour permettre cela.
- Avoir une expérience de la gestion des personnes et de la recherche, selon le stade de leur carrière.
- Avoir de l'expérience ou démontrer un engagement à diriger efficacement une équipe qui intègre l'expertise en expérience vécue, en fonction du projet de recherche.
- Chaque co-candidat doit :
- Être essentiel à la réalisation du projet et apporter une contribution significative, par exemple, à la conception de la recherche proposée et à la direction d'un volet spécifique du projet.
- Démontrer l'engagement de l'équipe à intégrer efficacement l'expertise en expérience vécue, en fonction du projet de recherche.
- Avoir une garantie d'espace de leur organisation administrante pour la durée de leur engagement dans le projet, mais n'ont pas besoin d'avoir un contrat permanent, à durée indéterminée ou à long terme.
- Les collaborateurs peuvent également être inclus dans les candidatures. Ils se distinguent des cocandidats en ce sens qu'ils soutiendront la réalisation du projet mais ne dirigeront pas une composante spécifique de la recherche.
- L'équipe:
- L'équipe doit inclure toute l'expertise et les compétences techniques nécessaires pour mener à bien la recherche proposée, y compris l'expertise en matière d'expérience vécue et/ou les compétences nécessaires pour impliquer et collaborer efficacement avec des personnes ayant une expérience vécue.
- L'équipe devra favoriser activement un environnement de recherche diversifié, inclusif et favorable au sein de l'équipe et dans les organisations représentées.
- L'organisme peut être :
- établissement d'enseignement supérieur
- Institut de recherche
- organisme de santé non universitaire
- organisme de recherche à but non lucratif ou non gouvernemental
- organisation commerciale
Inéligible
- Vous ne pouvez pas postuler à cet appel si vous avez l'intention de mener des activités impliquant le transfert de fonds de subvention vers la Chine continentale.
- Vous ne pouvez être candidat que sur un maximum de deux candidatures à cet appel de financement (quel que soit votre stade de carrière) :
- Vous pouvez être demandeur principal pour une demande et codemandeur pour une autre.
- Vous pouvez être codemandeur sur deux demandes.
- Vous devez être en mesure de démontrer que vous pouvez consacrer suffisamment de temps et de ressources aux deux projets s'ils sont financés.

Next to CNATM, we take the lead in the DFG-funded collaborative research center TRR267 “Non-coding RNA in the cardiovascular system”. The IPT is at the forefront of research on non-coding RNAs and the effects of their therapeutic manipulation in disease. We established the role of macrophage RNomes in cardiac and pulmonary disease (Science, 2023; Circulation, 2021) and developed ligand-coupled oligonucleotides for therapy (Nature Commun, 2023).
We are seeking:
- To support the development of nucleic-acid-based drugs, we seek for early-career scientists (postdoctoral level) with excellent contributions to the field of nucleic acid research and therapy. A track record of ≥1 research articles (first or last authorship) in a renown peer-reviewed journal is required.
- Applicants with strong educational background in RNA biology, chemistry/biochemistry and/or omics technologies (ideally with computational background in a Linux/Unix and R programming).
- Candidates from related relevant fields, e.g. chemical synthesis of nucleic acids or CRISPR engineering, are also welcome to apply.
We offer
- A highly productive research network of academic and industrial partners in one of the fastest developing and most fascinating fields of medicine.
- An inspiring international work environment with strong on-topic expertise and scientific output of highest quality.
- Established state-of-the-art research infrastructure and methodology, e.g. disease phenotyping, human iPS cell programming, light sheet microscopy and the entire experimental pipeline for next-generation sequencing from tissue or single-cells, including FACS-based cell separation
- Excellent opportunities and support programs for your transition to group leadership and tenure track.
The position is initially limited to 3 years, with the option of prolongation. Salary will be according to level TVL-13.
