   I would also be very interested in working with anyone on the human health impact of
   flooding. I have chaired an interdepartmental group involved in developing guidance on
   reducing the impact on health of flooding in the UK and can provide particular expertise in
   the development of health surveillance systems and the analysis of data from surveillance.

   Dear Roger,



   please contact Kris Ebi ([1]krisebi@epri.com), she might give you more indications with
   regard to NIH calls. I am interesting into flooding in Russia and/NIS countries



   Good luck

   Bettina

   Subject: health, environment funds

   Dear All



   It was good to meet many of you at the climate-health workshop last week. Can you
   please amend my email address in the list Tim circulated to the new one: [2]r.few@uea.ac.uk



   Two further points:

   a) There's another big funding source that may be of interest to the Coop - the US National
   Institute of Health (NIH). One of their recent Calls I note is on Health, Environment
   and Economic Development, focussing on research in developing countries. It expects
   inter-disciplinary projects (team should have at least 1 social scientist, 1 health/biomed
   scientist and 1 environmental scientist) and international collaboration with dev. country
   partners. Does anyone have any insights/comments re. this source?  [deadline for letter of
   intent is 30/11 & for application is 30/12].

   [3]http://grants2.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-TW-03-005.html



   b) Does anyone have a potentially active interest in the research topic I've suggested on
   micro-scale adaptations/coping responses to the health impacts of flooding in low-income
   populations? Or concrete suggestions on how to widen/strengthen the topic?



   Yours

   Roger
