Project Abstract

Public health crises are too complex to be tackled in silos. Responding to the need to equip European societies with experts who are specially trained to address these challenges in a cooperative fashion, the DOROTHY COFUND has been designed to recruit, train and launch the careers of 25 excellent fellows through 36-month fellowships. DOROTHY (DevelOp interdisciplinaRy apprOaches to healTH crisis collaborativelY) is a postdoctoral research programme that is co-funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). The Irish Research Council (IRC) in partnership with the Health Research Board (HRB) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have come together to create this new interdisciplinary fellowship programme on the topic of public health crises and their legacies. The complementary expertise of the three agencies – namely funding excellence in pan-disciplinary research (IRC), health perspectives (HRB) and environmental policies (EPA) – is key to DOROTHY’s scope and ambitions. The three agencies will provide funding to support all Fellows under the Programme. In the EPA’s grants database, we only include those Fellowships whose scope is related to the remit of the agency. A full list of all awards under the Programme will be made available on the IRC website.
