Neglected Tropical Diseases | Global Grand Challenges The elimination of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) is feasible but its progress is hindered by the suboptimal implementation of available interventions.
Challenges faced by NTD programs can range from poor targeting of interventions, low treatment coverage among specific sub-groups, and lack of surveillance systems that can meet the sensitivity and specificity requirements for the endgame of disease elimination.
These challenges could be addressed by the development of innovative solutions but also by the application of existing tools and technologies which are effectively used by other health programs, including polio, malaria and immunization.
We see an opportunity to identify and demonstrate feasibility of innovative solutions and new applications of existing technologies to address the challenges faced by national NTD programs in mapping, targeting, disease and vector surveillance, and other endgame strategies.
We have partnered with Kikundi , a community of practice for NTD program managers in Africa, to identify areas for transformational innovation in service of national NTD programs.
We invite proposals that will address one or more of the following areas: Methods to rapidly map NTDs, including integrated mapping Methods to better target existing interventions Strategies to target subgroups routinely missed by programs Approaches to vector surveillance Integrated surveillance that leverages other health surveillance platforms Strategies for post-elimination surveillance, including cross-border surveillance.
Funding level : up to USD $200,000 for each project, with a grant term of up to 18 months depending on the scope of the project.
We are looking for proposals that: Are led by institutions, which could be ministries of health, based in sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia (other global partners may be included but at least 80% of funding should go to sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia) Demonstrate partnership with national NTD programs Propose innovations and applications that are scalable Have a plan for how the proposed solution would be tested or validated, and report its impact on NTD elimination goals and program efficiency We will not consider proposals that: Do not include a lead investigator from an NTD-endemic country Do not consider explicit collaboration with endemic country governments, government NTD programs and/or partners Focus on current NTD intervention delivery or piloting of tools already used by NTD programs Do not outline a clear path forward to scale and sustainable impact

Past winners and funding trends for this program
NSF has $8.8 billion appropriated and is holding roughly $1 billion of it in a central account earmarked for a White House initiative called Grand Research Challenges. Core programs cannot reach the money. Roughly 400 peer-reviewed, recommended proposals are sitting at the Office of Award Management. Here is what the mechanism actually is, why it is different from the terminations story, and how to plan a submission calendar around it.

Four funding streams, four eligibility regimes, four clockspeeds — and most applicants only know about one.
