Grand Challenges Explorations- Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

Organisme

El Programa Grand Challenges Explorations fomenta la innovación en la investigación de temas de salud a nivel mundial. La Fundación Bill & Melinda Gates se ha comprometido a invertir $100 millones de dólares para animar a científicos de todas partes a aumentar la fuente de ideas novedosas para hacer frente a nuestros más grandes problemas de salud.

Objecte

Grand Challenges Explorations (GCE) supports hundreds of early-stage research projects – including many ideas that have never before been tested – and scientists from a wide range of disciplines and regions. The Explorations initiative funds innovative ideas that could lead to new vaccines, diagnostics, drugs, and other technologies targeting diseases that claim millions of lives every year, as well as improvements and innovations in agriculture development and other Gates Foundation priority areas.

GCE is an extension of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s commitment to the Grand Challenges in Global Health, which was launched in 2003 to accelerate the discovery of new technologies to improve global health. More recently, GCE has expanded to include global development and communications challenges. To date, the foundation has committed over half a billion dollars to support hundreds of projects on topics such as making childhood vaccines easier to use in poor countries, and creating new ways to control insects that spread disease.
