Jonathan Patz, Jomol Mathew as well as partners at UW Milwaukee and the Medical College of Wisconsin received a $3.8 million NIH grant, “A Community-based, Health-First Approach to Climate Action and the Energy Transition,” with the shortened working title being, the “Health-First Climate Action Research Center.” More information can be found here.
This grant will help establish one of the nation’s first Climate Change and Health Research Center dedicated to investigating the potential health benefits of various policy and practice initiatives related to the transformation of energy and transportation systems made necessary by the threat of climate change. Professor Jonathan Patz serves as P.I. and Center Director, and another PHS faculty member, Professor Jomol Mathew, will lead the Data Science Core of the new Center.
Congratulations to the team!
