MQ Mental Health Research has opened applications for its Schizophrenia Research Fellowship 2026. Interested applicants are encouraged to click here to learn more about this opportunity and apply for it.
Schizophrenia affects around 1% of the population and is associated with high levels of disability, reduced life expectancy, and significant unmet clinical need. Despite this, progress in developing new treatments and improving outcomes has been limited.
Current therapies are often insufficient, particularly for cognitive and negative symptoms, and many individuals may not fully respond to existing treatments. At the same time, research approaches have limitations, including under-representation of key populations and a focus on short-term symptom outcomes rather than long-term recovery and quality of life.
This call for application for an MQ Fellowship, funded by Nikki Fa Fond hosted by Fondation Philanthropia, responds to a clear and urgent need: despite its profound impact on individuals and society, schizophrenia remains underfunded, not fully understood in terms of its causes and ways of prevention and inadequately treated.
