Climate Change and Human Health Seed Grants

    The Burroughs Wellcome Fund aims to serve and strengthen society by fostering a diverse group of leaders in biomedical sciences, with the goal of improving human health through education and science innovation in areas of significant need. They offer financial support predominantly through competitive, peer-reviewed award programs, primarily funding individual researchers via their home institutions. Additionally, BWF grants aid to non-profits that work towards creating a better science environment, embodying the belief that diversity in the scientific workforce is crucial for research innovation and public service.

    Overview

    The grant program focuses on fostering innovative collaborations between disciplines that traditionally operate in silos, with the goal of tackling the multifaceted challenge of climate change in relation to human health. It will allocate $1M over two years for small, early-stage grants ranging from $2,500 to $50,000. The program encourages proposals that aim to build connections between basic biomedical sciences and fields like ecology, environmental science, urban planning, and public health. It is interested in initiatives that explore new approaches to reduce the health impacts of climate change, develop sustainable health care systems, prepare for crises like extreme weather, and enhance public understanding through outreach and education on climate and health-related issues. Proposals are accepted on a rolling basis and are reviewed quarterly, with the possibility of feedback for revision or encouragement to collaborate on similar project submissions.
