The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) has awarded almost \u00a3700,000<\/strong> to seven research projects aimed at helping UK health and social care services adapt to the impacts of climate change and extreme weather<\/strong>. The funding supports early\u2011stage development work focused on strengthening climate resilience across care systems, including improving preparedness for extreme heat, floods and storm surges<\/strong>, which increasingly disrupt hospitals, care homes, community services and access to essential facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The projects will build research capacity, develop stronger partnerships between academics and health\/social care professionals, and identify evidence gaps around how extreme weather affects infrastructure, staffing and service delivery\u2014particularly for vulnerable populations. Each project can receive up to \u00a3100,000<\/strong> and may progress to larger NIHR Climate Change and Health Research Collaboration Awards, offering up to \u00a32 million<\/strong> for programme\u2011level research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, the initiative represents a major long\u2011term investment by NIHR and the Department of Health and Social Care to embed climate resilience<\/strong> into the future of UK health and social care.
