Development Core

The Development Core of the Center for Collaboration on Climate and Community for Health plays a vital role in advancing research, collaboration, and development of the next generation of scientists at the intersection of climate and health. The purpose of the core is to develop new structures that ensure the creation of multidisciplinary research teams and advance the center's mission by enabling career development of early-career scientists in the field. We introduce innovation by offering novel pilot grant mechanisms to catalyze interdisciplinary research and collaboration while spearheading several innovative educational training/mentoring initiatives to cultivate leaders in the field. Our hope is that by bridging disciplinary boundaries we are able to empower a multidisciplinary workforce (students, scientists, clinicians, public health professionals, advocates) to foster a resilient, health-conscious society.
