The Economic and Social Research Council has released details of a funding call for the creation of a centre to tackle the effects of climate change on population health.

The centre will bring together experts and resources from different disciplines and institutions to conduct research and provide evidence of the link between climate change and human health for policymakers over a period of five years.

Proposals must involve collaboration across multiple disciplines and sectors, and should include an emphasis on addressing inequality as a key theme. UK Research and Innovation will fund up to 80% of the full economic cost of the project, which is valued at a maximum of £9.7 million.

The call will be open to UK research organisations from February 2023, when details of the full opportunity will be made available.
