This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program provides $1,170,080 to Emory University to conduct "Applied Implementation Research for Clean Cooking in Cambodia (AIR-C3)". The goal of this research is to design and demonstrate a scalable strategy for achieving equitable access to and sustained use of induction-based clean cooking technologies in low- and middle-income settings. The research will involve conducting formative studies, a cluster randomized trial, and exposure assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of different intervention strategies, such as direct sales, public sector promotion, and fuel/stove subsidies, in transitioning households away from polluting biomass fuels towards exclusive use of clean induction stoves. This research aims to generate evidence on the viability, costs, benefits, and exposure-reducing potential of electric cooking to accelerate the adoption of clean household energy solutions in Cambodia and beyond. Emory University has partnered with International Development Enterprises and the University of California, Berkeley as sub-awardees to support various aspects of the project implementation and research activities.
