Calling all ECHILD (Education and Child Health Insights from Linked Data) users who are interested in joint bid development for an upcoming funding announcement.
In April 2025 the Wellcome Trust will be launching a pre-announcement for funding of a three-to-five-year project under their Mental Health Award: Leveraging longitudinal data to transform early intervention in mental health.
The call is to fund research that uses existing longitudinal datasets listed on the Atlas of Longitudinal Datasets. ECHILD is catalogued on the Atlas.
