Wellcome Trust - Sustaining Health

The Wellcome Trust has just announced a second call for entries to their Sustaining Health grants. These grants are given to interdisciplinary research proposals for pilot projects that look to address health and sustainability challenges, specifically focusing on the interplay between health, nutrition, and the environment.

Two sub-themes are particularly of interest, though projects outside of these areas are also welcome:

  • The health impact of climate change mitigation and adaptation measures
  • How to feed 9 billion

Funding is 250,000GBP, but in exceptional cases can be up to 500,000GBP.

The first step in the application process is to submit a concept note, which you can download here. This is a very brief outline of your proposal (4 pages). Successful applicants will be invited to submit a preliminary application at the end of August.

Important dates:

  • Deadline to submit concept note: 25 July 2014
  • Invites to submit preliminary applications will be sent by 20 August 2014
  • Deadline for preliminary applications: 26 September
  • Invites to submit full application sent during week commencing 10 November 2014
  • Deadline for full applications: 14 February 2015
