The Wellcome Trust Generative AI for Anxiety, Depression and Psychosis program funds fundamental research on using generative AI to improve the measurement or treatment of three major mental health conditions: anxiety disorders, depression, and psychotic disorders. Awards of up to £3 million support research teams of 2-8 members with expertise spanning mental health research, generative AI, AI ethics, and lived experience of mental health conditions. The program supports two main research directions: (1) creating or improving generative models specifically for mental health measurement and intervention, and (2) developing evidence on how humans, AI systems, and clinicians can collaborate safely and efficiently in mental health contexts. Notably, this program funds fundamental research only and explicitly excludes real-world deployment of AI tools. The program includes an accelerator stage where teams refine proposals before submitting full funded research applications. This represents one of the largest dedicated investments in AI for mental health research globally, reflecting Wellcome's strategic priority in understanding and treating mental health conditions.
