This study aims to introduce and further elaborate on a multistage project for enhancing
young researchers mental well-being which is recently funded by Scientific and
Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK) and COST-European Cooperation
in Science and Technology. The project will be completed in four stages. In order to improve
the mental health of young researchers, the first phase of this project aims to test a
hypothetical model that incorporates psychological resilience, intolerance of uncertainty, and
future anxiety. The project's second phase involves conducting an experimental study both
offline and online to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention program that will be
created based on results of phase 1. To improve the mental health of young researchers, the
third phase of the project will train professionals who work in the counseling and psychology
application and research centers/units of various universities in Türkiye. The project's fourth
and final phase aims to create a smart web and mobile application that will quickly and
effectively assist young researchers in finding solutions to their mental health issues in light
of the information gathered in the project's first three phases. The application that will be
created will be both web-based and mobile in order to increase the research's widespread
impact. In this study, authors will elaborate on project aims and prospects, and gain feedback
from the scientific congress audience.
