The Human and Planetary Health initiative at the Woods Institute for the Environment is pleased to announce a call for proposals for Early Career Awards.  The Human and Planetary Health Early Career Award program provides seed grants from $50,000 up to $200,000 over two years to Stanford early-career faculty members (Assistant Professors or Instructors with Academic Council or University Medical Line standing), for interdisciplinary research projects that seek to identify solutions to pressing problems in human and planetary health, advance equity, and build careers for Human and Planetary Health researchers.

Program Priority Areas

We seek projects that:

  • Address complex human and planetary health issues, are innovative in approach, advance equity, and have the potential to produce solutions to major challenges.
  • Provide career-building opportunities for junior faculty and instructors to lead on such research projects. This may include involving instructors or Clinical Associate Professors as project leads or co-leads.
  • Take a cross-cutting and multi-disciplinary approach to solving big problems.
  • Engage in one or more of Stanford's Human and Planetary initiative's areas of focus:
    • Climate and Health
    • Pollution and Health
    • Ecosystems and Human Wellbeing
    • Healthy Foods for People and the Planet

 

Eligibility

  1. The call is open to PI-eligible faculty from all seven schools: Academic Council Faculty and Medical Center Line Faculty.
  2. Projects that create new interdisciplinary collaborations are encouraged.  Projects may include team members from off-campus partner institutions, including in Low- or Middle-Income Countries, from nonprofit organizations, industry or government officials.
