Description
1) Objective
Grand Challenges Canada seeks to support the transition to scale and sustainability of Bold Ideas with Big Impact. This funding opportunity is for innovators that are already funded by Grand Challenges Canada. External applicants may come from Grand Challenges Canada partners, including the Every Woman Every Child Innovation Marketplace, and must be invited to apply at the sole discretion of Grand Challenges Canada.
Grand Challenges Canada supports integrated innovations in these key areas: (1) global health; (2) saving lives at birth; (3) saving brains, and (4) global mental health programs. The Transition-to-Scale program seeks innovations that are bold and have the potential to make a substantial impact on a global health problem. They are looking for affordable approaches that can be used effectively to improve health in communities in LMICs with no or limited healthcare infrastructure (e.g., lack of electricity or clean water, etc.) and limited pools of trained personnel.
2) Eligibility
The applicant must be a non-profit organization, for-profit company, or another recognized institution that is incorporated in an eligible jurisdiction. The applicant must (1) be a previous or current grantee of Grand Challenges Canada or (2) be invited by Grand Challenges Canada to apply.
3) Location
Outside Canada they have no defined focus countries but provide assistance across the developing world.
4) Budget
Contingent upon 1:1 matching funds through partnerships and the needs of the Transition-to-Scale activities, Grand Challenges Canada may provide awardees up to $1,000,000 CAD ($768,000) for a defined period of time depending on availability of funds to Grand Challenges Canada. Funding in the $100,000 to $500,000 range CAD ($76,700- $384,000) is much more likely.
5) Application
Innovators must be invited by Grand Challenges Canada to submit an application for Transition to Scale funding. Unsolicited applications will not be accepted or considered for funding.
