This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health (CFDA 93.113) program aims to integrate climate change data into a regional community health assessment and engage local stakeholders in the co-design of climate-health communication strategies for rural Appalachian communities. With a total funding of $204,248 over a 2-year period from August 2024 to July 2026, the project will be carried out by North Carolina State University. The key products and services to be delivered include:

  1. Integrating climate change data into a regional community health assessment planning process to examine climate sensitivities in priority health concerns.
  2. Engaging regional hospitals, public health departments, and community members in co-designing visual storytelling of local climate and health priorities.
  3. Co-designing targeted communication messaging to advance awareness on regional climate impacts on health.

The project leverages an existing partnership, WNC Health Impact, to coordinate the regional engagement and assessment activities across a 16-county area in rural Appalachia. The expected outcomes will inform a public health model for integrating climate change considerations into community health assessment processes, particularly for rural and historically marginalized communities.
