The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) / Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is inviting proposals for the Building Resilience Against Climate Effects: Implementing and Evaluating Adaptation Strategies that Protect and Promote Human Health.
The purpose of this NOFO is to support recipients to develop, implement, and evaluate adaption actions that will build climate resilience in their jurisdictions.
The overarching strategies include:
- collaborating with stakeholders to create a Climate Impact Compendium that includes data on local climate projections, health effects, social determinants of health, and current adaptive capacity;
- planning, implementing, and evaluating adaptation actions that respond to the threats identified in the Climate Impact Compendium; and
- using and disseminating of evaluation results to improve adaptation actions and enhance understanding of effective climate resilience adaptations.
Funding Information
- Approximate Total Fiscal Year Funding: $ 4,000,000
- Total Period of Performance Funding: $ 20,000,000
- Total Period of Performance Length: 5 years
- Expected Number of Awards: 15
Outcomes
By planning and implementing adaptations that promote population health, the following shortterm an intermediate outcomes will occur:
- Short-term outcome A. Increased stakeholder (SH) knowledge of climate hazards, health effects, vulnerabilities, and available adaptation action options for reducing negative health outcomes of climate change
- Short-term outcome B. SH are active in the implementation of the adaptation action plans
- Short-term outcome C. Among community members targeted by the adaptation action, increased climate resilience through increased knowledge, positive behavior changes, and access to resources
- Short-term outcome D. Among the communities targeted by the adaptation action, increased climate resilience through social, community, institutional, or policy system(s)
- Short-term outcome E. Routine quality improvement and increased effectiveness of adaptation actions
- Short-term outcome F. Implementation partners use process evaluation results to improve/inform their adaptation action plans
- Intermediate outcome A. Reduced adverse health outcomes due to climate change in the populations among community members targeted by the adaptation actions
- Intermediate outcome B. Increased knowledge of adaptation actions that reduce adverse health effects of climate change
