Apply for WHO Climate and SRH Research Grant — Up to $55,000 for Community-Based Projects
The World Health Organization (WHO) is inviting applications for a global call for research proposals focused on climate change and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRH). This opportunity supports research teams in low- and middle-income countries to generate community-driven evidence on how climate change impacts SRH outcomes. With funding of up to USD 55,000 per project, this call aims to strengthen research capacity while addressing urgent global health challenges.
Selected research teams will participate in a collaborative, cross-country research initiative, co-designing a unified research framework during a Protocol Development Workshop in Geneva. This opportunity not only provides financial support but also access to capacity-building resources and international collaboration, enhancing the quality and impact of research.
Eligibility
This call is open to research teams based in low- and middle-income countries, particularly those in priority countries identified by WHO. Eligible applicants include:
- Academic and research institutions
- Non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
- Community-based organizations and civil society groups
- Multi-institutional research consortia
The Principal Investigator and core research team must be based in an eligible country. High-income country partners cannot lead the project and may receive no more than 15% of the total grant.
Benefits
Up to USD 55,000 in research funding, which can be used to support personnel, community engagement activities, data collection, and dissemination efforts. Travel and accommodation costs for up to two team members for the workshop in Geneva will also be covered.
