Grand Challenges Canada: Request for Proposals on Point-of-Care

Diagnostics

Grand Challenges Canada announces an important new research funding
opportunity in global health. This request for proposal (RFP),
addressing the first in a series of Grand Challenges, is targeted
exclusively at researchers in low- and middle-income countries.

The aim is to create innovative new components for a point-of-care
(POC) diagnostics platform for use in low resource settings. The
advanced platform, among other features, will be easy to use,
extremely low cost, multiplexed, and be capable of defining the stage
of development of the disease.

Grand Challenges Canada will fund proposals to advance the state of
the art in component technologies focused on the following topic
areas: 1) sample collection, concentration, and preparation; 2)
amplification and detection technologies; 3) readout and signal
transduction; 4) enabling technologies for diagnostics; and 5)
implementation research for point-of care diagnostics.
