Deadline: 15-Mar-23
The Kavli Trust Programme on Health Research will be awarding a total of NOK 20 million to collaborative research projects addressing selected evidence gaps in child and adolescent mental health in 2023.
Mental health problems in children and adolescents make up a considerable part of today’s global disease burden but funding for research addressing these problems is sparse compared to most somatic illnesses. For a variety of reasons a significant part of today’s health research is wasted and Kavli Trust is committed to limiting research waste by anchoring research funding in established and prioritized evidence gaps.
Evidence Gaps
The evidence gaps were selected in three steps:
- The Kavli Trust Strategic Scientific Committee (SSC) identified evidence gaps by searching for systematic reviews in selected databases
- The Kavli Trust User Panel provided their prioritization of the evidence gaps
- The Kavli Trust Board decided on how many of the top-ranked evidence gaps to include in the call.
