New institutional awards of up to $10,000,000 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. Applications from institutions just starting to integrate Climate + Health into their planning are expected to be uncompetitive. Up to three awards will be made over two rounds of competition.
Institutions or Consortia supported by these awards will develop new lines of research, training, and graduate education that will both energize faculty collaboration and expand interdisciplinary research opportunities for trainees. What graduate departments learn from exploring post-graduate students’ interests in the intersection of climate change and health science may be invaluable to developing educational resources and career guidance for K12 and college students. The training grant element will not be more than 20% of a funded center’s budget.
Application Deadline: Applications due August 7, 2025 by 3:00 pm ET (Limited opportunity)
