<p>The Department funds research through the National Institute for Health and Care
Research (NIHR). Since 2018, the NIHR has invested approximately £41 million through
research programmes on pharmaceutical trials in mental health. Of this, £836,772 has
been awarded to organisations in the North West of England. The NIHR welcomes funding
applications for research into any aspect of human health, including mental health.
Applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards
made on the basis of the importance of the topic to patients and health and care services,
value for money and scientific quality. It is not usual practice to ring-fence funds
for particular topics or conditions.</p>
