This Grand Challenge is part of our ongoing commitment to addressing the significant gaps in women’s health research and development. Anita Zaidi, President of the Gender Equality Division at the Gates Foundation, emphasized this critical need during her keynote speech at the recent Grand Challenges Annual Meeting held virtually. If you were unable to attend the live sessions, we encourage you to view the recorded plenary sessions focused on clinical research and trials, women’s health, and regulatory harmonization.
We invite you to review the full details of this funding opportunity on our website. Additionally, we will be hosting a webinar on June 17, 2025, from 7:00 to 8:00 AM Pacific Time to provide further information and answer any questions. To participate, please register in advance and submit your questions.
We welcome applications from experts worldwide and encourage you to share this announcement with colleagues who may be interested. If you received this message through forwarding, please register on the Grand Challenges website to receive future grant notifications.
