Overview
Limited Submission
The Burroughs Wellcome Fund has announced Climate and Health Excellence Centers awards of up to $10M to stimulate development of strong research, education, and public communications connections between fields that aim to understand and mitigate the impact of climate change on human health. The awards will provide up to $2M a year for five years.
This award will support institutions or consortia that are already moving toward establishing themselves as centers of excellence for understanding climate change’s impact on human health and for leadership in climate education OR public communication.
Applications to CHEX must make clear the core problems on which the proposed Center will focus. Supported centers are expected to both launch what will become long-lasting research partnerships and to have well-planned training and post-graduate training components. This grant will support new discovery toward the following areas of Climate and Health:
Defining the health impacts of climate change
Developing potential interventions
Translating discovery science into practical application
Outward-facing work that can help public understanding of Climate + Health or strengthen connections between research and communities whose health has been harmed by climate change
Either education or communication should be a substantial element of the proposal. Proposals that sacrifice depth to include elements of both may be weakened by the effort: it is better to go deep into one area than to lightly “tag both bases.”
Potential Additional Components:
Activities including policy development and implementation.
Economic modeling of climate change activities.
Convening activities for related stakeholders.
In-house pilot grant programs to stimulate new initiatives in Climate + Health.
Solicitation Limitations:ASU may submit only one (1) application to the sponsoring organization.
Other Information:An information session will be held 1/30/2025.
Thursday January 30, 9:00 - 10:00 AM (EASTERN)-- 8AM MST
