Call for EOIs: Research Grant Funding on Climate Change in Papua New Guinea

The Climate Change and Development Authority (CCDA) in partnership with the Government of Australia are calling for Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for research projects on climate change.

The grants provide funding for climate change research grants aimed at advancing the knowledge of the health and environmental consequences of climate change. This support is primarily focused on several critical dimensions of how climate change influences agriculture, Sustainable Development, water quality, environment, human health and infrastructure.

Ultimately, this knowledge informs strategies and policies to address climate-related challenges and safeguard the health and resilience of communities.

There are two categories of funding for this research grant; student and open category.

The student awards are offered to Papua New Guineans and permanent residents of PNG pursuing Master’s studies at a university in PNG and to researchers, research and higher learning institutes in the PNG community. Candidates should have an academic background that combines an interest in public policy, economics, with social sciences (e.g. forestry, agroforestry, climate justice for women, people with disabilities, vulnerable people, gender, biodiversity, or ecosystems).

The open category is for researchers and professionals, academic and higher learning institutions, government organizations in PNG engaged in climate change.

They offer these awards to facilitate and support research and development on climate change mainstreaming in PNG. They envisioned that the research and development on climate change would provide required data and information for evidence-based policy development in PNG.
