The aims of the fellowship are to examine how emerging technologies can fundamentally re-envision the conceptual models and mechanisms-of-delivery for existing prevention interventions in the context of child mental health. Such an innovative approach is needed to address the unprecedented mental health treatment gap faced across the UK and worldwide: more than 1 in 10 children and young people have a clinically diagnosable mental health disorder, yet only 30% have had access to appropriate intervention, and less than half of these improve from the treatment. Mental health promotion interventions are seen as one of the principled ways of addressing these issues: by developing key protective factors (such as emotion regulation or parenting techniques) for both at-risk and general populations, such interventions can improve wellbeing and reduce the incidence of mental disorders. However, even the most effective programmes are still dependent on in-person delivery techniques and intervention mechanisms available since the 60s, thus lacking scalable mechanisms to support children in the everyday settings where protective competencies are needed, and being developed. The core vision proposed by the fellowship research agenda is that digital technologies can lead to entirely new model of prevention interventions that are fully incorporated into the lives of target populations, thus addressing the need for situated learning support. However, beyond PI's pilot work, HCI and Prevention Science fields lack even a basic understanding of the fundamental research questions necessary to deliver such situated interventions: it is not at all clear, for example, how to design technologies that provide useful contextualised support for children and their adults around protective competencies (technical RQs), how to do so in a psychologically effective way (psychological RQs), and how to design interventions that are engaging for users and are addressing their immediate needs (socio-technical RQs). The fellowship takes up these challenges and lays out an ambitious programme of work designed to start unpacking these broader issues at the intersection of technology, psychological theory, and human-centred design. We address such highly interdisciplinary agenda by grounding the work in specific case studies that target fundamental protective factors for child mental health --- emotion regulation and positive parenting --- while encompassing all of the issues outlined above. The case study interventions then serve not only as exemplar proof-of-concept of how situated interventions can be developed (and shown to be efficacious), but also as initial steps towards extrapolating the psychological mechanisms and design patterns that are generalisable to other populations and protective factors. By focusing on carefully selected case studies---complemented with a strong interdisciplinary mentorship network across KCL, Oxford, Stanford, Harvard, Northwestern U, and U of Michigan, among others--- the ambition is to not only create effective interventions that can be deployed at scale, but also influence the wider research communities, and contribute to the UK and EU policy calls to deliver new approaches for mental health promotion. PI's personal and career growth will be substantially boosted by the fellowship. Beyond enabling a full cycle of truly interdisciplinary work, which would traditionally span a range of UKRI panels and epistemological commitments, the fellowship structure will facilitate a network of academic and clinical partnerships across a range of leading research centres worldwide, developing the basis for PI's interdisciplinary thought leadership for years to come. These will include, among others, long-term residency at Oxford; as well as close collaboration and repeated visits to US-based mentors (Harvard, Stanford, University of Michigan, Northwestern University).

该研究金的目的是研究新兴技术如何从根本上重新设想儿童心理健康方面现有预防干预措施的概念模型和交付机制。需要这种创新的方法来解决英国和全球面临的前所未有的心理健康治疗差距：超过十分之一的儿童和青少年患有临床诊断的心理健康障碍，但只有30%的人获得了适当的干预，其中不到一半的人从治疗中得到改善。促进心理健康的干预措施被视为解决这些问题的原则方法之一：通过为高危人群和普通人群制定关键的保护因素（如情绪调节或养育技巧），这种干预措施可以改善福祉并减少精神障碍的发生率。然而，即使是最有效的方案，也仍然依赖于自60年代以来可用的亲自提供技术和干预机制，因此缺乏可扩展的机制，在需要保护能力的日常环境中支持儿童，并正在发展。研究金研究议程提出的核心愿景是，数字技术可以导致完全融入目标人群生活的全新预防干预模式，从而满足对情境学习支持的需求。然而，除了PI的试点工作之外，HCI和预防科学领域甚至缺乏对提供这种现场干预所需的基本研究问题的基本理解：例如，目前还不清楚如何设计技术，为儿童及其成年人提供围绕保护能力的有用的情境化支持（技术RQ），如何以心理上有效的方式这样做（心理RQ），以及如何设计干预措施，吸引用户并解决他们的直接需求（社会技术RQ）。该奖学金接受了这些挑战，并制定了一项雄心勃勃的工作计划，旨在开始在技术，心理学理论和以人为本的设计的交叉点上解决这些更广泛的问题。我们解决这样的高度跨学科的议程接地工作在具体的案例研究，针对儿童心理健康的基本保护因素--情绪调节和积极的养育-同时涵盖所有上述问题。然后，案例研究干预措施不仅可以作为如何制定干预措施（并证明是有效的）的概念验证范例，而且还可以作为推断可推广到其他人群和保护因素的心理机制和设计模式的初始步骤。通过专注于精心挑选的案例研究-辅以KCL、牛津大学、斯坦福大学、哈佛、西北大学和密歇根大学等强大的跨学科导师网络-其目标不仅是创造可以大规模部署的有效干预措施，而且还影响更广泛的研究社区，并为英国和欧盟的政策呼吁做出贡献，为促进心理健康提供新的方法。PI的个人和职业发展将大大促进奖学金。除了使真正的跨学科工作的一个完整的周期，这将传统上跨越一系列的UKRI面板和认识论的承诺，奖学金结构将促进学术和临床合作伙伴关系的网络在全球范围内领先的研究中心，发展PI的跨学科的思想领导的基础多年来。其中包括在牛津大学的长期居留;以及与美国导师（哈佛、斯坦福大学、密歇根大学、西北大学）的密切合作和反复访问。
