TCR: Climate-related health impacts and effective interventions to improve health outcomes 2024

Overview

A Targeted Call for Research (TCR) is a one-time request for grant applications designed to stimulate research in a particular area that will benefit the health of Australians or address a specific health issue. A TCR specifies the scope and objectives of the research to be proposed, application requirements and procedures, and the review criteria to be applied in the evaluation of applications submitted in response to the TCR. The 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. Proposed research projects will identify key areas of vulnerability and effective interventions to improve health outcomes and reduce health inequities in Australia. The design and implementation of interventions based on this research would reduce health system demands and costs in the long-term, increasing national resilience to climate-related threats to health and the economy. The objectives of the TCR: Climate-related health impacts and effective interventions to improve health outcomes 2024 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.
