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).

The (static) architecture of HPC systems limits their usefulness to a few selected application, as the ideal topology for applications requiring large bisection bandwidth differs from the one needed for more localized workloads – leading to mediocre performance when executing dynamic applications. Furthermore, the network typically only extends between nodes, and does not form an integral part of the compute nodes themselves, i.e. the Network-on-Chip used within the compute nodes is not co-optimized with the global interconnect network. In this position, you will investigate how principles of Software-defined networking and time-sensitive networking can improve the performance of these large-scale systems.

What you will do

HPC systems often use complex low-diameter network topologies, to balance network bandwidth, latency and construction cost. The interconnection between the thousands of nodes in such a system is recognized as an important performance bottleneck. The (static) architecture of HPC systems limits their usefulness to a few selected applications, as the ideal topology for applications requiring large bisection bandwidth differs from the one needed for more localized workloads – leading to mediocre performance when executing dynamic applications.

Furthermore, the network typically only extends between nodes, and does not form an integral part of the compute nodes themselves, i.e., the Network-on-Chip used within the compute nodes is not co-optimized with the global interconnect network. In this position, you will investigate how principles of Software-defined networking and time-sensitive networking can improve the performance of these large-scale systems, from a theoretical perspective, but also from a practical implementation standpoint. As it is an integral part of the architecture of a system, multi-disciplinary interactions with people developing the software programming models, IC architecture and system performance models are expected.

This project is an initiative of the Compute Systems Architecture Unit (CSA). The CSA unit researches emerging workloads and their performance on large-scale supercomputer architectures for next-generation Artificial Intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. The team is responsible for algorithm research, runtime management innovations, performance modeling, architecture simulation and prototyping for these future applications and the future systems to execute them, to reach multiple orders of magnitude better performance, energy-efficiency, and total-cost-of-ownership.
