| Gates Foundation Grand Challenge: Estimating the Global Burden of Diarrheal Diseases (06/16/26) |
June 10th, 2026 Funding |
|
The Global Partnerships & Grand Challenges Team announced a new grant opportunity, with applications due no later than June 16, 2026, at 11:30 AM Pacific Daylight Time. Estimating the Global Burden of Diarrheal Diseases: Reliable burden estimates are essential for guiding investments in prevention, treatment, and product development. However, estimating diarrheal mortality, morbidity, and pathogen-specific burden remains challenging for a number of reasons. Through this RFP, the Gates Foundation seeks to support independent estimation efforts that inform the overall burden of diarrhea and pathogen-specific contributions, |
