Announcements
Dear Colleagues,
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and its funding partners in the Grand Challenges family of grant programs are inviting innovators to apply for the following two grant opportunities.
1) Our Grand Challenges Explorations fosters early-stage discovery research to expand the pipeline of ideas for solving our greatest global health and development challenges. Launched in 2008 with an initial $100 million commitment from the foundation, Grand Challenges Explorations grants have already been awarded to more than 1200 researchers in more than 65 countries.
We are accepting applications on the following four topics until November 9, 2016:
2) Grand Challenges for Development: The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Sweden through the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), the Foreign Ministry of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the Government of South Africa have joined together to launch the Securing Water for Food initiative. The goal of this program is to improve water and food security, gender equality and reduce poverty.
In addition, The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) in partnership with the Department of Biotechnology (DBT) at the Ministry of Science & Technology of the Government of India has launched the Healthy Life Trajectories Initiative (HeLTI) – India grant opportunity.
The goal of HeLTI is to generate evidence that will inform national policy and decision-making in India, Canada and other participating countries for the improvement of health and mitigation of the risks of non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
We look forward to receiving innovative ideas from around the world and from all disciplines. If you have a great idea, please apply. If you know someone else who may have a great idea, please forward this message.
Thank you for your commitment to solving the world's greatest health and development challenges.
The Grand Challenges Team

Dear Colleagues,
SPARC is pleased to share exciting news of two new opportunities for grant funding in the Open
Access and Open Science space. In the past week, two Foundations (The Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation and the Laura and John Arnold Foundation) have issued calls for letters
of interest/proposals in support of initiatives in the “open" space.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) has announced a new, $1.5 million program aimed at
supporting projects that increase transparency and accountability throughout the research life cycle,
with a special emphasis on open access, to increase the speed of the flow of information from
funded research to action. You can read about the RWJF’s new initiative here:
RWJF is also hosting an open Webcast on Friday, September 16th to provide additional information
on this activity. Details can be found in the announcement at the link above.
Additionally, the Laura and John Arnold Foundation (LAJF) is seeking Letters of Interest from
organizations with innovative ideas to facilitate open science. Specifically, LJAF is interested in
ideas for increasing access to the results of scientific research, including access to publications,
research data, algorithms, computer code, reagents, and tools.
Details on the LAJF’s call for Letters of Interest can be found here:
This is a welcome development, and a nice signal of the growing willingness of funders to truly
support the growing movement towards “open" in research and education.
