🚨 Lead research grants 🚨 Please share! New Center for Global Development call for research proposals on reducing lead poisoning in the developing world. Three broad areas: 1. Sources: where is the lead coming from 2. Impacts: measuring harms from lead 3. Solutions: evaluating policy tools

⚠️New Report⚠️ Exporting Lead Poisoning: The Toxic Trade in Lead Chromates 👉tinyurl.com/4xyn9tv3 This #ILPPW2024 we must 🧪address double-standard that allows wealthy countries to export lead chromates & 🚨regulate this toxic trade. ⏰Time to #FinishTheJob & #BanLeadPaint.

Important report - wealthy countries including Germany, Italy, and France, continue to export lead chromate (pigments which are toxic and easily substituted), despite it being banned for use within the EU.

Interested in applying for lead research grants? We're doing a Q&A session on Thur, 12pm ET cgdev.org/event/research… Rachel Bonnifield Rory Todd Call for proposals is here: cgdev.org/sites/default/…

Then next week we're doing a match-making event, where researchers can hear from policy orgs doing lead work who might be interested in partnering with research teams. cgdev.org/event/research…
