Each year, more newborns die as a result of preterm birth than from any other cause. Preventing Preterm Birth, a new initiative within the Grand Challenges in Global Health, is providing grants to discover new solutions to ensure healthy births around the world.
The Challenge
Discover biological mechanisms that lead to preterm birth and develop novel interventions to prevent them. Studies should explore gestational origins, biological mechanisms and the immunological response to infection and nutritional deficiency which lead to preterm birth, especially in the developing world.
Interested?
If you would like to apply for funding, please review the Request for Proposal and Letter of Inquiry instructions below. When you are ready, download and complete the Letter of Inquiry form and complete Steps 1 and 2 in the "Apply Now" section. Scientists in the developing world are encouraged to apply.
Letters of Inquiry must be submitted by 31 January, 2012.
