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.

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?
