Interested in getting involved in research?
University-based research teams are often looking for mental health professionals who can offer advice on the best way to set up a research project in the NHS, and who are willing to be investigators on the trials and studies we support.
In addition, the commercial organisations we support often want clinicians to give expert views on whether it is feasible to run a proposed trial within the NHS – does the research question and planned methodology fit with NHS services and policies? Industry-led studies are often also seeking potential investigators.
If you work in one of the NHS trusts listed on this website, you can register with the MHRN and we will contact you if we adopt a trial or study that may interest you.
To register, fill in and submit the form below, or download a pdf of the form, fill it in and return it to:
NIHR MHRN Coordinating Centre
Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London
PO77, De Crespigny Park
London SE5 8AF.
Or download a Word version and email the completed form to mhrn@kcl.ac.uk
If you are interested in getting involved in research, you can also contact your local regional office (hub) manager. Our staff will talk to you to find out what your interests are, and may try to involve you in a study that is already supported by the hub. They may help you organise a secondment to a research team, or suggest training that could develop your skills. Some hubs offer research experience to trainee mental health professionals – psychiatrists and mental health nurses, for example.
Visit our regional offices pages to find details of your local hub.

Register of interest for clinicians interested in being involved in research studies
The MHRN will contact you at most six times a year, by email. You may opt out of the Register at any time by emailing mhrn@kcl.ac.uk. The information you give will be stored securely by the Mental Health Research Network Coordinating Centre. Only MHRN staff will have access to the information, and they will only use it for the purposes of contacting clinicians who may be interested in particular research opportunities.
