Grant Size: $225,000,000
Grant Duration: 3 years
Details:
The RCC will create a robust inclusive CCH-COP that fosters collaboration, capacity building, innovation and research that aligns with the NIH CCH initiative. The RCC will offer opportunities for collaboration between multiple disciplines required to conduct solutions-driven research on the health impacts of climate change. The four functions of the RCC are administrative oversight, resource development, data management, and research capacity building.
The Climate Change and Health (CCH) Initiative is a National Institutes of Health (NIH)-wide research effort established to address the effects/implications of climate change on the health of populations and create the evidence base to inform the response needed to improve health outcomes. Health Effects Research, Health Equity Research, Intervention Research, and Training and Capacity Building are key focus areas of the CCH initiative. The initiative will bring together NIH-funded CCH researchers and scientific, community, and interagency partners to form a CCH community of practice (CCH-COP) research network committed to advancing the science of climate change and health. It is envisioned that the CCH-COP will catalyze transdisciplinary research approaches to address multiple and emerging climate threats to human health, particularly in national and global populations most at risk. Through the overarching CCH initiative, the NIH intends to fund the Alliance for Community Engagement (ACE-CCH), a platform that will maximize community engagement to facilitate CCH research and achieve climate justice and health equity.
