Convocatoria Repuesta en clima y ambiente para la salud en las Amricas

The "Climate and Environment Response for Health in the Americas" initiative is a three-phase program consisting of virtual training, a regional grant development workshop, and seed grants. It targets public sector actors, researchers, and community leaders to foster the co-creation of evidence-based public policies that address environmental determinants of health, with a strong emphasis on equity, diversity, and transdisciplinary collaboration.

• The initiative employs a transdisciplinary (TD) approach, which requires stakeholders—including policymakers, practitioners, affected communities, and professionals—to collaborate with researchers in iterative co-development processes at the science-policy interface.
• The program is structured into three distinct phases: a 7-week virtual training and mentoring period on transdisciplinary science and ethics, a face-to-face regional grant development workshop in December 2022, and the awarding of seed grants in early 2023.
• Seed grants in Phase 3 offer two funding streams: one for teams to further develop applications for larger funding mechanisms (such as the Belmont Forum) over six months, and another for conducting a transdisciplinary pilot study on climate, environment, and health for 12 to 18 months.
• Co-financing is a mandatory requirement for seed grant proposals to ensure projects do not rely solely on IAI funds; this includes financial contributions or in-kind support such as researcher salaries, student scholarships, and access to equipment or databases.
• The initiative specifically encourages applications from historically underrepresented groups, including women, indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, racial/visible minorities, and LGBTQ+ communities, and requires teams to include an equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) plan.
• Research ideas must be linked to public health sector policies or programs, such as climate service co-creation for health, vulnerability maps for chronic or emerging diseases, and early warning systems for climate risk reduction.
