title: In Search of the Holy Grail: Understanding Research Success.
abstract: This article considers the continuing challenges facing research funders when trying to allocate research money. It focuses on the area of research policy in mental health research funding, with a particular emphasis on funding for schizophrenia research, and provides an overview of research policy in the last 20-25 years. It then goes on to consider what approaches funders could take to build an evidence base to support future decisions about funding.
