Initial grants are for USD $100,000 and successful projects are eligible to receive follow-on funding of up to USD $1 million. Proposals are solicited twice a year for an expanding set of global health and development challenges. Applications are only two pages, and no preliminary data is required. Applicants can be at any experience level; in any discipline; and from any type of organization, including colleges and universities, government laboratories, research institutions, non-profit organizations and for-profit companies.

We invite you to read summaries<https://gcgh.grandchallenges.org/grants?f%5B0%5D=field_challenge%253Afield_initiative%3A37073&items_per_page=100> of the GCE grants funded to date and to explore an interactive world map<https://grandchallenges.org/#/map> of projects across the global Grand Challenges funding partner network. We look forward to receiving innovative ideas from around the world. If you have a great idea, please apply. If you know someone else who has a great idea, please forward this message.
