In the tenth round of Grand Challenges Explorations, proposals were invited that targeted the following topics: labor saving innovations for women farmers, new approaches for the control and elimination of specific neglected tropical diseases, identifying anti-malarial compounds, and communicating the positive impact of development aid.
The new agriculture topic targets women farmers because of their key role as the family nexus of agriculture, nutrition, and health. The new neglected diseases topic seeks specifically to address diseases caused by parasitic worms, including elephantiasis and river blindness.
