The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (the Gates Foundation) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) is launching a new Grand Challenge: New Interventions for Global Health.

Target pathogens:
- Vaccines:
  • Human immunodeficiency virus – only approaches that aimed at providing sustained protection will be considered
  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis
    - Therapeutics:
  • Tuberculosis
  • Malaria
  • Diarrheal Disease in infants caused by Cryptosporidium hominis or Cryptosporidium parvum
