Scientific Committee
Scientific Committee members, with the academic Trustees (Professor Mike Owen, Professor Peter Jones, Dr Vanessa Pinfold and Professor Clair Chilvers) make up the Mental Health Research UK Awards Panel. The Panel (Chaired by Professor Mike Owen) carries out the whole process of awarding PhD Scholarships including shortlisting, suggesting academic referees and prioritising for funding. Members of the Scientific Committee also advise on academic issues including the strategic direction of the charity and how we can maximise our impact on mental health research in the UK.
