[open-science] Gates Foundation Grant Opportunities - New Grand Challenges Explorations Topics

[Matthew Todd]

Guys,
I'm at a tropical medicine conference (
http://www.viewdocsonline.com/document/jdiio3) in London right before
coming to Helsinki, and will try to get some information on what the call
is really about. The malaria component is very focussed, and the NTD one
too has nuances that make me wonder if they're looking for something quite
specific.
Cheers,
Mat
