Friday September 22, 2023 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News
From Health Affairs

Dear John,

ICYMI: we released our third episode of our health equity podcast,
Research and Justice For All. The first season is sponsored by CVS
Health.

Listen to the Third Episode

Extramural US Federal Research Grants For Climate Change And Health

In their article in the September issue of Health Affairs, Cecilia
Sorensen and her team of coauthors call climate change "arguably the
greatest threat to health and health care delivery of the twenty-first
century."

Sorensen and coauthors explore US extramural federal funding to
organizations and institutions outside of the government to address
climate change
.

They specifically examine federal grants awarded between 2010 and 2020
that funded research at the intersection of climate change and health.

Of a total of 102 identified grants, the total value of the awarded
grants was about $58.7 million, or approximately $5.3 million per year.

Most awards came from the Department of Health and Human Services.

Extreme heat and hurricanes/cyclones/typhoons were the largest specific
climate-sensitive exposure categories studied, and the largest
proportion of total funding was distributed to research studying
vectorborne disease, heat-related illness, and
allergy/asthma/respiratory disease.

Sorensen and coauthors find that most funding was not directed toward
any specific vulnerable population, and that no awards specifically
focused on Indigenous communities or incarcerated populations.

They conclude that in addition to increased funding in climate and
health generally, greater investments should be made in research on
vulnerable populations.

No Vaccination Lines This Year

The fall is peak US vaccination season.

In a WTOP-FM interview, Health Affairs editor-in-chief, Alan Weil
observed that, unlike during the past few years, there is a reduced
sense of urgency to get vaccinated now that the COVID crisis has waned.

According to Weil, public health departments, which invested in
campaigns to encourage vaccinations, have not received the same levels
of funding for these efforts this year.

He also noted that because many people are not as vigilant about masking
in public as they were during the public health emergency, there could
be more respiratory illness this winter.
