The Translational Fund Award

 The Translational Fund Award (This award has been completed) 

The project network aims to be truly global and to generate exchanges and transmission of knowledge between different parts of the world. Translational funding is designed to pursue these goals and to progress the development of novel, innovative exchanges relevant to project. The Award is established to support translations of key writings in phenomenological psychopathology (both historical and contemporary) into the multiple languages used by the group, with a particular emphasis on ensuring these texts are available to researchers in LMIC and the Global South. The payment rate will be £250 per 1,000 words. We will accept proposals of translations of texts in the range of 1,000 to 10,000 words. We will fund a total of 40,000 words over the course of the project.  We aim to help successful applicants to publish open access their translations for the project, in line with Wellcome policy, and/or we will host these translations on our project website.

The Application Process
Applicants are required to submit:
Either a 500-word proposal or a 5-minute video that tells us what the translated text will be, which languages it will be translated from and into, why these languages are important, and how the translation aligns with the aims of the Renewing of Phenomenological Psychopathology project and is significant and innovative. Indicate please your level of fluency in your manuscript languages and expertise in the specific area of study, and what kind of outputs you expect your translation will lead to (e.g., publications, educational materials, etc.).

A 100-word biography and brief 1-page CV for each applicant (if you are submitting as a team a biography would be required for each member).

Please submit all application materials as one pdf document.

Submissions should be sent to phenompsych@contacts.bham.ac.uk. The deadline for applications is 1st May 2023 (midnight UK).

Abstracts will be reviewed by members of the Renewing Phenomenological Psychopathology team and our international advisory board. While we will notify all applicants of the outcome of their submission, we will not supply individual feedback on the applications which are unsuccessful.

Following the completion of the translation project, awardees will be required to submit a summary detailing the outputs of the project (the summary should not be longer than 500 words).

Eligibility
An important aspect of this project is to diversify the field of Phenomenological Psychopathology. We encourage applications from the widest range of backgrounds, perspectives and experiences in order to maximise innovation in the field. We are particularly keen to receive submissions from female applicants, gender diverse applicants, early career researchers, those with lived experience of mental health difficulties, and researchers from the Global South/non-WEIRD (western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic) countries.
