Call for Letters of Inquiry from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is now accepting letters of inquiry for a new grant program to develop point-of-care diagnostics for the developing world. $30 million in new grants will be available through Grand Challenges Diagnostics, a part of the Grand Challenges in Global Health initiative. The program will develop components and technologies that allow assessment of multiple conditions and pathogens at the point-of-care in a variety of settings. The Foundation is looking to fund the development and optimization of novel, accurate, feasible technologies that are low cost, easy to use, functional at high temperatures and humidity, and do not require refrigeration, reagents, water or lab equipment. Details and application instructions are available at http://cts.vresp.com/c/?McLaughlinRotmanCent/b71122eb42/9a4c6f8aa6/9268a04555 Letters of inquiry are being accepted online until February 16, 2010. After a review of submitted letters of inquiry, the foundation will invite full grant proposals from selected applicants.
