Project Summary / Abstract Research in climate and health is currently hampered because: (1) The Community of Practice (COP) in this space is fractured, frequently siloed within disciplines, and concentrated in a few well-resourced institutions and countries; (2) Cutting-edge data assets exist, but are often hard to find, inconsistently documented, and challenging to manage and link to other data resources; (3) Many researchers, especially early-stage investigators (ESIs), do not have access to compliant, computationally efficient, and secure computing environments; and (4) We lack a centralized platform that can support the domestic and global capacity-building initiatives needed to expand pathways for CCH researchers, including providing educational resources, mentoring, and funding for pilot and time-sensitive projects. We propose to create the BUSPH-HSPH-CAFÉ, a Research Coordinating Center (RCC) leveraging the ecosystem of state-of-the-art research, education, and policy translation in climate change and health (CCH) at the Boston University School of Public Health and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health to: (1) CONVENE the community of practice (COP) via the Administrative Function; (2) ACCELERATE research via the Data Management Function; (3) FOSTER collaborations across the COP via the Resource Function; and (4) EXPAND the CCH- COP via the Capacity Building Function. Dr. Gregory Wellenius, Dr. Francesca Dominici, and Dr. Amruta Nori-Sarma are the ideal multiple-PI team for the CAFÉ based on: (1) their large and diverse network of collaborators, including top experts in the fields of climate change, adverse health outcomes, environmental epidemiology, data sciences, and statistics, (2) their prior experience leading high-impact research relevant to CCH; and (3) their commitment to capacity building through mentorship and support, particularly in support of diversity and inclusion. By engaging our partners in NGOs, government, industry, and community-based groups, and by leveraging the expertise of the PIs, the CAFÉ will enable the COP to more rapidly and effectively advance our understanding – and minimize the consequences – of the health consequences of continued climate change Research advances of the COP will be timely, policy-relevant, and catalytic, with far-reaching applications for improved local, national, and global climate resilience.

项目概要/摘要 气候与健康研究目前受到阻碍，因为：(1) 这个领域的实践（COP）是支离破碎的，经常在学科内孤立，并且集中 (2) 尖端数据资产存在，但还不够 通常很难找到，记录不一致，并且管理和链接到其他数据具有挑战性 （3）许多研究人员，特别是早期研究人员（ESI）没有资源； 访问合规、计算高效且安全的计算环境；以及 (4) 我们 缺乏可以支持国内和全球能力建设举措的集中平台 需要扩大 CCH 研究人员的途径，包括提供教育资源， 为试点和时间敏感的项目提供指导和资助。 我们建议创建 BUSPH-HSPH-CAFÉ，一个研究协调中心 (RCC) 利用最先进的气候研究、教育和政策转化生态系统 波士顿大学公共卫生学院和哈佛大学公共卫生学院的变革与健康 (CCH) 陈公共卫生学院： (1) 通过以下方式召集实践社区 (COP)： 行政职能；(2) 通过数据管理职能加速研究； 通过资源职能促进整个 COP 的合作；以及 (4) 扩大 CCH- 通过能力建设职能开展缔约方会议。 Gregory Wellenius 博士、Francesca Dominici 博士和 Amruta Nori-Sarma 博士是理想的选择 CAFÉ 的多 PI 团队基于：(1) 庞大且多样化的合作者网络， 包括气候变化、不良健康后果、环境等领域的顶尖专家 流行病学、数据科学和统计学，(2) 他们之前领导高影响力的经验 与 CCH 相关的研究；以及 (3) 他们致力于通过指导和 支持，特别是支持多样性和包容性 通过让我们的合作伙伴参与非政府组织， 政府、行业和社区团体，并通过利用 PI 的专业知识， CAFÉ 将使 COP 能够更快、更有效地增进我们的理解——并且 最大限度地减少持续气候变化对健康造成的后果 研究 缔约方会议的进展将是及时的、与政策相关的、具有催化作用的，具有深远的应用 提高地方、国家和全球气候适应能力。
