  • The Rockefeller Foundation (Cat: Health)

    The Rockefeller Foundation was established in 1913 by John D. Rockefeller, Sr., to "promote the well-being" of humanity by addressing the root causes of serious problems. The Foundation supports work around the world to expand opportunities for poor or vulnerable people and to help ensure that globalization’s benefits are more widely shared. With assets of more than $4 billion, it is one of the few institutions to conduct such work both within the United States and internationally.

    As John D. Rockefeller said, “The best philanthropy is constantly in search of the finalities—a search for a cause, an attempt to cure evils at their source.” This approach has produced such breakthrough work as the professionalization of public health, the development of a vaccine against yellow fever, the “Green Revolution” in Latin American, Asian and Indian agriculture, and the creation of public-private partnerships to develop promising new vaccines.

    Submission of project ideas can be done here.

  • TDR Grant (Cat: Health)

    The Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) is an independent global programme of scientific collaboration.

    TDR focuses on neglected infectious diseases that disproportionately affect poor and marginalized populations.

    Call for application for research grants has closed for now.
