The Round 6 of the Grand Challenges Explorations of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is now open to accept applications, providing grants of up to $100,000.
The Grand Challenges Explorations is an opportunity for researchers around the world to submit proposals providing innovative solutions for improving global health. The program is a $100 million grant initiative from the Foundation to encourage bold and unconventional global health solutions.
The initiative focuses on areas where creative, unorthodox thinking is most urgently needed. For this round, applicants are asked to focus their proposals on these five topic areas:
- Design New Approaches to Cure HIV Infection;
- Create the Next Generation of Sanitation Technologies;
- Create Low-Cost Cell Phone-Based Applications for Priority Global Health Conditions;
- Create New Technologies for the Health of Mothers and Newborns;
- The Poliovirus Endgame: Create Ways to Accelerate, Sustain and Monitor Eradication.
The topic focusing on sanitation technologies highlights the integrated approach the foundation is taking toward health in developing countries. Improved sanitation is essential to reducing water-borne illnesses and has profound economic, educational, and social benefits.
The selected proposals are awarded with an initial grant of $100,000. Projects which show success will be provided with an additional grant of $1 million. Applications submitted should not be more than two pages and the preliminary data about the proposed research is not required.
The deadline to submit the proposal is 2 November 2010. For more information, visit this link.
