ASCEND Call For proposals: Integrate diverse data and knowledge to accelerate insights for Climate Action
African Synthesis Centre for Climate Change, Environment and Development (ASCEND) invites proposals for actionable research to reduce risks from climate change in Africa.
The focus of this call is supporting teams of researchers, policymakers, and/or practitioners to use synthesis research approaches to better understand climate impacts, enhance climate action, and reduce risks.
ASCEND will support up to 6 teams. Each team will be funded to convene multiple times at ASCEND facilities that support transdisciplinary team science at the University of Cape Town over 2 years. Teams can have up to 15 participants from across Africa and globally. A full-time postdoctoral research fellow is also funded for each team.
It is expected that synthesis research will include data and knowledge on Africa, but this may also involve synthesis of data and knowledge beyond Africa with relevance for the continent.
