Introduction to the Climate and Health Award
The Climate and Health Award aims to propel research in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) by focusing on the intersection of climate change mitigation and public health. This initiative provides funding to support transdisciplinary research teams that will investigate the health impacts of climate initiatives while also considering social and economic aspects.
Research Focus and Objectives
The primary goal of this funding call is to generate substantial evidence regarding the health effects of climate change mitigation strategies in LMICs. By building on previous funding efforts in G7 nations, this award emphasizes community-specific priorities. Research projects should be designed to highlight local health outcomes, leveraging the potential of greenhouse gas mitigation interventions to produce not just environmental improvements, but also significant public health benefits.
Funding Details and Application Process
Successful applicants can receive funding ranging from £500,000 to £2 million per project, with a funding duration of 2 to 4 years. This research opportunity encourages collaborations with co-applicants, fostering a wider range of insights and expertise. The next preliminary application deadline is set for 18 February 2025, making now a crucial time for potential applicants to prepare their proposals.
