Typical grants range from less than $100k to over $3M; total program funding exceeds $550M; multi-year support possible.

Supports high-impact, cost-effective biomedical research and technology projects addressing neglected global health challenges.

Unsolicited proposals accepted by email; only 1–2% of unsolicited proposals are funded.

--- ## Description Coefficient Giving’s Science and Global Health R&D program funds biomedical research and technology development projects that address important, neglected, and tractable global health challenges. The program is guided by a strategic cause selection framework, prioritizing projects where additional funding can have a transformative, cost-effective impact—especially in areas underfunded relative to their health burden. The fund is open to a broad range of topics, including computational protein design, new vaccines, diagnostics, clean water technologies, and market-shaping efforts for neglected diseases. The program has a track record of supporting both early-stage and late-stage research, including clinical trials and implementation science. --- ## Due Dates - Applications are accepted on a rolling basis; there are no fixed deadlines. --- ## Funding Amount - Grants typically range from less than $100,000 to over $3,000,000, depending on project scope. - The program has awarded over $550 million across 330+ grants, with multi-year support available for suitable projects. - Both small pilot studies and large-scale clinical trials have been funded. --- ## Eligibility - Open to researchers and organizations worldwide. - Eligible applicants include universities, research institutes, nonprofits, and occasionally for-profit entities working on relevant biomedical or global health challenges. - Projects must address areas that are important (large health burden), neglected (underfunded relative to burden), and tractable (clear path to impact). - Areas less likely to be funded: cancer, diabetes, reproductive medicine, rare diseases, pain, mental health, most work on HIV/AIDS, and issues primarily affecting high-income countries. --- ## Application Process - Most grants are made proactively, but unsolicited proposals are accepted. - To apply, email [science@coefficientgiving.org](mailto:science@coefficientgiving.org) with: - A short description of an existing proposal submitted to another funder, or - A new 1–2 page proposal including a rough budget and estimated timeline. - Only proposals that may be a good fit will receive a response, due to high inquiry volume. - Historically, 1–2% of unsolicited proposals are funded. - For more on the internal review process, see [grantmaking process](https://coefficientgiving.org/our-approach/grantmaking-process/). --- ## Additional Information - The fund supports all stages of research, from basic science to late-stage clinical trials and implementation. - Emphasis is placed on neglected diseases (e.g., malaria, tuberculosis, rheumatic heart disease), innovative technologies (e.g., computational protein design), and projects that can scale impact in low- and middle-income countries. - Example funded projects include malaria vaccine trials, hepatitis E vaccine access, novel malaria prevention strategies, and improved nutrition interventions for malnourished children. - For the latest funding priorities and portfolio highlights, visit the [Science and Global Health R&D fund page](https://coefficientgiving.org/funds/science-and-global-health-rd/). --- ## External Links - [Program homepage](https://coefficientgiving.org/funds/science-and-global-health-rd/) - [Funding criteria](https://coefficientgiving.org/funds/science-and-global-health-rd/our-funding-criteria) - [Featured grants](https://coefficientgiving.org/funds/science-and-global-health-rd/#grants-science-and-global-health-randd) - [Strategic cause selection framework](https://coefficientgiving.org/research/strategic-cause-selection/) - [Recent research highlights](https://coefficientgiving.org/research/five-highlights-from-our-scientific-research-portfolio/) --- ## Contact Information | Contact Method | Details | |----------------------------|---------------------------------------------------| | General Inquiries | [Contact Form](https://coefficientgiving.org/contact) | | Unsolicited Proposals | [science@coefficientgiving.org](mailto:science@coefficientgiving.org) | | Partnership Inquiries | [partnerwithus@coefficientgiving.org](mailto:partnerwithus@coefficientgiving.org) | ---
