Call for applications – Deadline for receipt Monday 20th October 2025
This call for applications for support is particularly suitable for early researchers, but anyone planning research may apply.
Up to £2,000 will be offered for preliminary or preparatory research to inform substantive research into a topic relevant to forensic mental health service provision. The proposal should indicate sufficient rigour in the question and research methods that a publication would be feasible. Examples include a scoping review or limited systematic review or qualitative research to inform hypothesis generation or analysis of an already established and available database.
In addition to financial support, Crime in Mind will support dissemination and discussion of findings, for example through webinars and expert commentaries on the completed project.
The research must be conducted within the framework of a professional organisation used to administering research, such as a university department, a healthcare trust or similar.

Research can transform lives. We want to support discoveries about what helps people with mental disorder who have been victims of criminal behaviour, or perpetrators of criminal behaviour, and their families, and the clinicians and others who treat them and, indeed, the wider community when its members are in contact with these problems. More effective prevention is the ideal, when this is not possible, we need more effective, evidenced interventions for recovery and restoration of safety.
