MARCH Research Agenda

Welcome to the co-development of the MARCH Network Research Agenda. This is a 9-month process that will involve input from people with lived experience, community organisations, researchers, policy makers, commissioners and funders in order to map the priorities for research funding to advance work relating to community activities and mental health. The primary aim of this process is to produce a new research agenda that will be used to guide the distribution of £280,000 of research funds held by the MARCH Network (a Mental Health Research Network funded by UK Research and Innovation, dedicated to transforming our understanding of the role of community assets in mental health). However, the process is also designed to support the strategic distribution of funds from other funders, and to highlight what the priority questions are for different stakeholders in the field.

This phase of the process provides an open public opportunity to propose research questions that need to be answered to advance practice in the field. Further details are provided here. Please ensure you read these before taking part in the process.
