Opportunity:

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a large and diverse group of diseases that disproportionately affect health and livelihood of the poor in the developing world and typically lack attention and funding for research and development.  Although in recent decades there has been significant progress toward the elimination and even eradication of some neglected diseases, there is still an unmet need to discover, develop, and deliver tools and strategies to diagnose, treat and interrupt transmission of some neglected diseases.

Overview

In February 2012, we issued a call for proposals to help us find revolutionary approaches to communications that could motivate the public in wealthy countries of the world to support foreign aid investments and take action to demonstrate that support.  

The world responded, and we’re deeply inspired by the proposals we received. We will announce the winners in November 2012.
