Grand Challenges Explorations fosters innovation in global health research.

To elicit great ideas without limiting creativity and boldness, we are setting forth a series of challenges that remain broadly unsolved in the areas where we work. Here we provide a bit of guidance around what we will and will not fund, but leave the solution itself open to your imagination. Please visit the sponsor website http://gcgh.grandchallenges.org/challenge/explore-new-solutions-global-health-priority-areas-round-16 for priority funding areas.
