The global change System for Analysis, Research and Training (START) seeks to enhance scientific capacity for global environmental change (GEC) research in developing regions.

START seeks Pre-Proposals from African scientists for one-year projects on global environmental change in Africa. The Pre-Proposal must provide specific information on how the proposed research will contribute to:

Improving knowledge of the Earth’s changing climate and environment, including its natural variability, and/or how the research will improve understanding of the causes of observed variability and change.

Improving quantification of the driving forces of changes in the Earth’s climate and systems

Reducing uncertainty in projections of how the Earth’s climate and related systems may change in the future.

Understanding the sensitivity and adaptability of different natural and managed ecosystems and human systems to climate and related global changes.

Assessing impacts, adaptation and risk management strategies related to climate variability and change.

A Pre-Proposal may be submitted by any African scientist who is associated with an African institution of higher learning or with an African non-governmental organization.

Deadline: 15 August 2008.
