Grand Challenges Exploration GCE Round 23: Emerging Technologies for New Solutions in Global Health Priority Areas

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is accepting proposals for the Round 23 of the Grand Challenges Exploration on the topic of Emerging Technologies for New Solutions in Global Health Priority Areas.

The Foundation seeks proposals that apply an emerging technology or a combination of emerging technologies for new and potentially transformative solutions in global health priority areas.

The goal of this challenge is to foster and support impact in global health through innovative uses of emerging technologies.

Priorities

  • Represent potentially transformative approaches that would not have been funded by mechanisms focusing on individual technologies or subject areas
  • Represent new perspectives on the problem being targeted, including applying insights from fields outside the priority global health areas that are the subject of this challenge
  • Leverage existing data or biosamples from human cohorts or biorepositories of proven value

Funding Information

Awards of $100,000 USD are made in Phase I. Phase I awardees have one opportunity to apply for a follow-on Phase II award of up to $1,000,000 USD.
