'Facilitating the development, set up and successful completion of mental health research studies across Scotland'.
The Scottish Mental Health Research Network (SMHRN) is designed to support high quality research in mental health in Scotland. Our main aim is to facilitate the development and set up of large, well-funded research studies in Scotland; as well as ensuring the success of Scottish led clinical trials, epidemiological, genetic and imaging studies. The SMHRN was set up in 2007 and officially launched in November 2009.
The network is managed by a coordinating centre in Edinburgh with a Scottish wide Management Group with regional leads in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee and Aberdeen. SMHRN also has associate directors in statistics and database and genetics as well as research assistants and research nurses. The network is funded by the Chief Scientist Office of the Scottish Government. The SMHRN works in close collaboration with the UKMHRN and MHRNCymru and the other Scottish Topic Specific Research Networks
