Our Mind Matters Initiative (MMI) recently announced the recipients of its latest mental health research grants – a £5,000 Discovery Grant and a £15,000 Impact Grant – open to researchers at all career stages.

The Discovery Grant has been awarded to a research project evaluating the implementation of reasonable adjustments in addressing mental health and neurodivergence for student veterinary nurses during clinical placement. The project is being carried out by Dr Heather Imrie MRCVS, Dr Lauren Cooke MRCVS, Dr Gregory Steele MRCVS and Nicola-Jayne Johnson RVN, at Nottingham Trent University. As part of the research, they will explore the implementation of our new Embracing Reasonable Adjustments for Student Veterinary Nurses guidelines.

The Impact Grant has been awarded to Professor Elinor O’Connor from the University of Manchester, and Dr Kevin Teoh, from Birkbeck, University of London. They will use the funding to fuel their project researching organisational interventions to support wellbeing in veterinary workplaces.

If you are a mental health researcher, keep an eye out on the application period for the next round of our Mind Matters mental health research grants, opening in early 2026.
