In the Round 6 Request for Proposals, Grand Challenges Canada is seeking to support bold ideas with big impact that improve global health. Projects may encompass the whole spectrum of global health, including drug discovery, vaccine development, diagnostics, health and medical education, maternal and child health, non-communicable diseases (including cancer and mental health), health-related water and sanitation, and health-related agriculture and nutrition.
For examples of the type of projects we have funded, visit Our Grantees and review our recently released Annual Letter from Dr. Peter Singer, Chief Executive Officer of Grand Challenges Canada.
Phase I grantees who complete a minimum of nine months of their Grand Challenges Canada grant, complete their proof-of-concept projects and have solutions that are ready to transition to scale will be invited to submit Phase II – Transition to Scale proposals. The Phase II – Transition to Scale program will require 50% matching of funds through partnerships to be eligible for Grand Challenges Canada funding.
