Global Grand Challenges: Estimating the Global Burden of Diarrheal Diseases

Through this Grand Challenge, the Gates Foundation seeks to support organizations with strong epidemiologic and quantitative modeling capabilities to produce credible, transparent, and decision-useful estimates of diarrheal disease burden in LMICs.

Applicants should propose approaches that can generate a minimum core set of estimates for the year 2025 and, where feasible, build longer-term analytic capacity in LMICs.

LMIC partner involvement is required.
