The Global Climate Change Foundation (GCCF) focuses on postdoctoral and graduate student research grants that advance climate science while contributing to a dialogue about the big questions that remain in the field of abrupt climate science. Please note that GCCF does not accept unsolicited proposals. Comer Family Foundation offers administrative support to GCCF's grant making program.
