Call for Institutional Applications: Climate + Health Excellence (CHEX) Centers
How to Apply:
The Burroughs Wellcome Fund has released a call for applications under its new Climate + Health Excellence (CHEX) Centers program.
The overall purpose of this program is "to stimulate the 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. In general, 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 around climate and health."
This grant (up to $10,000,000) is meant to support new discoveries that aid in defining the health impacts of climate change, developing potential interventions, translating discovery science into practical application, and research that can help increase public understanding of climate and health. Overall, this new grant is meant to support institutions or consortia that have already begun to work toward studying the problem of climate’s impact on health.
