Burroughs Wellcome Fund: Climate & Health Interdisciplinary Awards (CHI)- LOI

Supports collaborative exploratory work that opens new ground for comprehensively assessing or mitigating the impacts of climate change on human health. Examples of projects might include but are not limited to the following:

• The role of climate change in exacerbating vector borne-, and non-communicable diseases (NCDs)
• Using “big data” to predictively model aspects of health impacted by climate change
• Engineering or architectural approaches to alleviating climate related health risks
• Developing new research tools at the interface of health and climate-informed disciplines

Proposals must be submitted by a single US or Canadian institution, which will serve as the sole payee. Proposed teams may include researchers from beyond the US and Canada, including those from Low- and Middle-income countries (LMICs).

Funding: $375K over 3 years (No overhead, Non-profit)
