Climate Impacts Awards: Unlocking urgent climate action by making the health effects of climate change visible

"This scheme is motivated by several recent reports and analyses that indicate that the window to take urgent climate action is closing rapidly (UN Environment Programme 2022). Despite the overwhelming evidence of the negative impacts of climate change the message is still not getting through.

The aim of this scheme is to make the impacts of climate change visible across a wide range of physical and mental health outcomes in order to drive urgent climate policy and practice change at scale. 

This scheme will fund transdisciplinary teams to deliver short-term, high-impact projects, combining evidence generation with communications and/or public engagement.

Eligibility Criteria:

1. You can apply for this award if you are a team leader who wants to advance transdisciplinary research on the impacts of climate change on health.

2. You will be expected to:   

a) have prior experience of research engaging with policy/practitioners/implementation partners;

b) have knowledge brokering competencies such as the ability to act as a bridge between research teams and impacted communities;

c) actively promote a diverse, inclusive, and supportive environment within your team and across your organisation. 

3. Your research team can include researchers from any discipline (natural, physical and social sciences as well as technology) but must be transdisciplinary (see the definition of transdisciplinary from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development), and include expertise in public engagement and communications.  

4. The proposed research should be equitable, diverse and inclusive in a way that is appropriate to the place in which the research is conducted and the aims of the research or other activities.

5. You must be based at an eligible administering organisation that can sign up to our grant conditions (it can be based in any country apart from mainland China). The project must have a team leader or coapplicant based in all countries where the research activities are taking place.

6. Administering organisations must be able to meet Wellcome grant conditions and grant funding policies.

7. Your full application must be submitted by 17:00 BST on the deadline day: 13 April 2023.

Level of funding: Up to £2.5 million.  

Duration of funding: Up to 3 years."
