Here is amended version, with a few other alterations as suggested by people. Please share it with others at LSHTM if appropriate - I only copied it to you and Paul.

I think two proposals are going into the MRC on jan 30th - 1) Armstrong et al. Statistical methods for estimating the effect of weather on health from time series data. 2) Wilkinson et al. DECISION-ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK FOR ADAPTING TO FUTURE BURDENS OF THERMAL EXTREMES IN LOW- & MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES. best wishes Sari ******************* Sari Kovats Centre on Global Change and Health Dept of Epidemiology and Population Health London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Keppel St, London WC1E 7HT tel: +44 20 7927 2962 fax: +44 20 7580 6897 sari.kovats@lshtm.ac.uk >>> Mike Hulme 01/24/03 09:40am >>> Dear All, Please read the attached 2-pager. This was prepared in response to a question from DEFRA about climate change and health research and Tyndall Centre. I hope I have mentioned the main items, but please correct me/inform me of any oversights. What I haven't included is a section on up-coming proposals arising out of the MRC-NERC Co-op. Perhaps I could add a section about this if I get the raw material. Many thanks, Mike
