Multidisciplinary research priorities for the COVID-19 pandemic: a call for action for mental health science

---

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is having a profound effect on all aspects of society, including
mental health and physical health. We explore the psychological, social, and neuroscientific effects of COVID-19 and
set out the immediate priorities and longer-term strategies for mental health science research. These priorities were
informed by surveys of the public and an expert panel convened by the UK Academy of Medical Sciences and the
mental health research charity, MQ: Transforming Mental Health, in the first weeks of the pandemic in the UK in
March, 2020. We urge UK research funding agencies to work with researchers, people with lived experience, and
others to establish a high level coordination group to ensure that these research priorities are addressed, and to allow
new ones to be identified over time.
