Deadline for Concept Notes: 25 July 2014
 
This is for interdisciplinary research proposals for pilot projects that look to address health and sustainability challenges, specifically at the nexus between health, nutrition and the environment. Interest is focused on projects relating to two sub-themes:
 
• the health impacts of climate change mitigation and adaptation measures
• how to feed 9 billion
 
Projects outside of these areas but relevant to Sustaining Health in other ways are also welcomed. Proposals should be designed to open up new research avenues, ultimately leading to work that will have a significant impact on human health.
 
Proposals are being accepted from a broad range of disciplines and particularly cross-sector collaborations involving academic organisations, industry/business, non-governmental organisations and/or government agencies. Applicants may be based anywhere in the world.
As general guidance, awards are in the order of £250,000, exceptionally up to £500,000.
