CAFÉ, a Climate Change and Health Research Coordinating Center in support of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Climate Change and Health Initiative, announced a request for proposals for pilot projects focused on climate change and health research. Proposals are due March 15, 2024 and they anticipate announcing awards by May 15, 2024.

The objective is to provide small seed funding for activities like data collection, community engagement, and training workshops. This will allow investigators to strengthen future independent funding applications to help expand the climate and health research community.

Pilot projects can cover topics related to the CDC’s Climate and Health Strategic Framework on tracking, preventing, and responding to climate-related health threats. Applications can be submitted here.
