Wellcome: Climate and Mental Health Award: Uncovering mechanisms between heat and mental health. Deadline: 21 January 2025
This award will fund projects to advance understanding of how heat impacts anxiety, depression, and psychosis in the most impacted groups globally through biological, psychological, and/or social mechanisms. Teams must bring together mental health and climate expertise as well as additional expertise as relevant. Consistent with the Wellcome approach to mental health research, it is expected that research teams to include relevant lived experience of mental health problems, unless there is a strong justification for not doing so. Researchers can be based in institutions anywhere in the world (apart from mainland China and countries that are the target of international sanctions).
