The fund aims to stimulate the growth of new connections between thinkers working in largely disconnected fields who could together redirect the course of climate change’s impact on human health. Areas of priority include activities that build connections between basic/early biomedical scientific approaches and ecological, environmental, geological, geographic, and planetary-scale thinking, as well as with population-focused fields. Also of interest is work developing more sustainable systems for health care, care delivery, and biomedical research systems.
