Grand Challenges Explorations – Brazil

In 2018 the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Brazilian Health Ministry/National Council for the Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) launched these two calls for proposals in the scope of the Grand Challenge Explorations to Brazilian researchers: Data Science Approaches to Improvements Maternal and Child Health in Brazil and New Approaches to Characterize the Global Burden of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR).

The Data Science Approaches to Improvements Maternal and Child Health in Brazil´s call for proposal seeks to support proposals designed to answer critical scientific questions related to maternal and child health and development outcomes. The proposals should use innovative data analytics and modeling approaches that can be applied to the CIDACS linked datasets or to other relevant data sets that applicants can access. Moreover, these proposals should be based on these linked datasets or existing primary data in Brazil and yield actionable results with a potential to significantly impact public health polity

The New Approaches to Characterize the Global Burden of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)´s call for proposals seeks to support proposals that presents new approaches that have the potential to transform public health action on a regional or global scale by identifying and filling gaps in knowledge on the burden of resistance to antibacterial agents – it is not seeking incremental improvements in typical disease surveillance solutions.
