Burroughs Wellcome Fund Climate Change and Human Health Seed Grants

Small grants to promote the growth of new connections between scholars, practitioners, educators, and/or communicators working to understand, spread the word about, and mitigate the impacts of climate change on human health. Review will be conducted quarterly. After each quarterly review, we will support, decline, or send proposals back to applicants for revision, but may hold some proposals over for a future review. Recommended revisions may include suggestions that separate groups of applicants submitting similar proposals work together to develop a single proposal or that applicants consider becoming involved in efforts aligned with work funded in earlier quarters.

Proposals will be accepted on a rolling basis through July 2026.

Deadline dates for the upcoming cycles are:

  • July 24, 2025
  • Oct 23, 2025
  • Jan 22, 2026
  • April 23, 2026
  • July 23, 2026
