About this opportunity
If your team studies the link between cleaner air and healthier lives, this call was written for you. The Clean Air Fund is seeking expressions of interest for research that evaluates real world reductions in black carbon emissions and the associated health and climate impacts of cleaner technologies in cryosphere and cold climate settings in low and middle income countries, with studies focused on the Global South.
The request for proposals sets the budget at up to GBP 220,000, printed alongside its US$300,000 equivalent, for studies of up to 3 years. Academic centres, NGOs and research bodies working in low and middle income countries can apply, excluding mainland China, and proposals must show prior climate and health research experience with community equity at the centre.
Note the shape of the work before you invest time. The call rules out laboratory studies, clinical trials and technology pilots, and it does not fund work tied to fossil fuel or tobacco financing.
The feed roundup quoted a £220,000 ceiling, which the provider document restates as GBP 220,000, and the expression of interest window closes on 23 October 2026 at 18:00 BST.
