NIH Exploratory Grants for Climate Change and Health Research Center Development | April 1, 2023 (LOI) and May 1, 2023 (Proposals)

**Some programs are limited. Please read solicitations carefully and consult your Office of Research for specifics, such as limited applications through your university and internal application deadlines.**

The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to solicit P20 planning grant applications for Climate Change and Health Research Centers (CCHRCs). This program will support the development of a transdisciplinary research environment to sustain a program of fundamental and applied research to examine the impacts of climate change on health and to develop action-oriented solutions to protect the health of individuals, communities, and nations from the hazards posed by climate change. This opportunity will allow development of new research teams collaborating with communities and other partners to develop projects that generate data that will build or expand research capacity across a range of thematic scientific areas in support of the four core elements of the NIH’s Initiative in climate heath research: health effects research, health equity, intervention research, and training and capacity building.

NIH intends to commit $30 million in FY2023 and FY2024 to fund up to 17 awards. The maximum project period is 3 years.

Application Deadline: April 1, 2023 (LOIs); May 1, 2023 (Full Proposals)
