The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) invites applications for research that addresses the challenges of climate change by building resilience into the delivery of health and social care services during severe weather events.
Smaller development awards will be offered initially. Their purpose is to enable research teams to come together to develop ideas with potential to help UK health and social care services to operate efficiently during extreme weather events. After the development phase, holders of development awards will be invited to submit large scale and ambitious collaborative projects.
This funding opportunity aims to:
- bring diverse research teams together to develop plans for ambitious research and to catalyse future research capacity;
- enable researchers to apply for larger Research Collaboration awards within this initiative
- support teams who are seeking support from other programmes within the NIHR.
