Gates Foundation has 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. They 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.
