Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation: Grand Challenges (LOI)

Metagenomic Next Generation Sequencing to Detect, Identify and Characterize Pathogens

Through this Grand Challenge, funding will be offered to 10 scientific groups to explore the identification, characterisation and context of infectious disease in low and middle-income country (LMIC) settings. Selected applicants will benefit from onsite next generation sequencing and rapid pathogen detection to better understand their local pathogen landscape.

Funding: up to $200,000 over 2 years.
