The Forces in Mind Trust (FiMT) Research Centre is an independent centre funded by Forces in Mind Trust and run by a consortium of RAND Europe and King’s Centre for Military Health Research (KCMHR) at King’s College London.

The centre provides an accessible and authoritative evidence base exploring the transition from military to civilian life, to inform policy and practice affecting ex-Service personnel and their families in the UK. It also functions as a community hub for the UK Armed Forces research community, connecting researchers, policy makers, and service providers, to support the forging of joined up working and collaboration, and build pathways to impact.

This is achieved through various outputs, including but not limited to, a comprehensive and accessible online research repository, curated research pages capturing active UK Armed Forces research projects and the research community, informative themed research and policy summaries and news articles highlighting key issues impacting the UK Armed Forces community.

The centre also offers advice and research expertise to Forces in Mind Trust and the wider Armed Forces sector and organises the annual FiMT Research Centre conference, showcasing high-quality and impactful research affecting UK ex-Service personnel and their families, to a diverse international audience.
