Bringing people and ideas together to improve lives

The research we fund builds knowledge and empowers developing countries and regions to find solutions and implement change.

Our grantees are individuals, institutions, think tanks, and non-governmental organizations. Together, they seek answers to global problems such as infectious diseases, natural disasters, environmental problems, and food security issues.

And there’s much more. Search our projects by program and by theme.
