Overview
The Targeted Call for Research (TCR): Climate-related health impacts and effective interventions to improve health outcomes 2024 grant opportunity aims to fund research into better understanding the current and future impacts of climate change on the health and wellbeing of Australians and on health system demand.
The objectives are to build a stronger evidence base on:
- The effectiveness of targeted interventions addressing current and future risks of climate change on the health and wellbeing of Australians and on Australia’s health system.
- The health impacts of climate change on key Australian population groups in vulnerable situations.
The intended outcomes of the research are:
- Expand Australian research capacity in climate change and health.
- Accelerate implementation of evidence-based interventions targeted to an Australian setting.
- Reduce health impacts associated with climate-related hazards and events in Australia, including a reduction in health inequities.
- Reduce the impacts of climate change on the Australian health system.
Eligibility
Applicants can only apply as CIA on one application to this TCR. Applicants can apply as a Chief Investigator (CI) on a maximum of two applications to this TCR. Applicants who wish to apply as a CI on a second application to the same TCR can do so as CIB-CIJ, ensuring that they are listed as CIA on one application only. Applications to TCRs are not capped relative to Investigator, Synergy and Ideas Grants and will not impact a CI’s ability to apply to these schemes.
Notice of Intent
All researchers intending to submit an NHMRC Targeted Call application are required to submit an internal Notice of Intent. NOIs will be collated centrally and distributed to Faculties and Institutes in order to provide maximum support to the UQ research community.
