Background
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.
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. To date, the foundation has committed over $500 million 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.
Eligibility:
Grand Challenges Explorations is open to both foreign and domestic (USA)  non-profit organizations, for-profit companies, international organizations, government agencies and academic institutions. Grants will not be provided to individuals.
