Reminder: Applications Due Soon! Ensuring Effective Health Supply Chains: A Grand Challenge for Development

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation have issued a joint call for innovative and transformative solutions to build more effective supply chains in low- and middle-income countries around the world. Ensuring Effective Health Supply Chains: A Grand Challenge for Developmentaims to address key  challenges faced by supply chains in communities with limited resources. More effective supply chains can enable delivery of supplies, services and treatments that have the potential to save more than 6 million lives in the next 5 years. We seek solutions that are daring in premise and different from the approaches currently used. The ideas must be translatable to practical interventions that are accessible in resource-limited settings and have the potential to be scaled up or reproduced in multiple settings.  Don’t wait – submit your idea today! The Grand Challenge will be accepting proposals until Wednesday, May 3, 2017, 2:30 pm, U.S. EST.
