Are you a researcher wishing to collaborate?

If you are undertaking research in the field of anxiety, our aim is to help where possible, by creating a mutually beneficial relationship; working collaboratively with external researchers through:

  • Providing consultancy/advisory input, including access to lived experience input
  • Assisting with recruitment of study participants (via our social media platforms, website and ezine)
  • Assisting with dissemination of research findings (via our podcast series and ‘And Relax’ membership ezine)

If you are interested in working with us, please complete the research request form below:

Please note:

Following completion of the below form, as we are a small team, please allow time for us to review and respond to your request within 10 working days before contacting us.

Further, as Anxiety UK receives numerous research collaboration requests, priority is given to those aligned to our mission and current objectives for 2025-2030 and those where funding to cover Anxiety UK’s input has been factored into the proposed research collaboration and any activities.

Anxiety UK collaborates with research projects where engagement and involvement is meaningful and where the charity’s expertise is valued and respected.

Our policy is to assist with research conducted at PhD level and above.
