The Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation have announced the latest set of grant awards for the Grand Challenges Explorations program.
Over 80 new grants of US$100,000

diseases, condom development, linking data systems for development needs, and
exploring the intersection of human and animal health,” the foundation said.
