Organizations Practicing Healthcare Innovation to Improve Newborn Survival: You have $1Million Grant Opportunity

Deadline: 25 August 2014

The second annual Healthcare Innovation Award is open for nominations of organizations that are practicing innovative approaches for reducing under-5 child mortality. This is a global partnership program of GSK and Save the Children. The organizations that will be judged as practicing most innovative and effective ways to improve the newborn survival will be provided from US$10,000 to US$400,000.

The winners will be promoted through public award announcements and international media coverage to help publicize the winning innovations that are increasing access to healthcare around the world. Major goal of this innovation award is to provide a platform for the innovations and to share information about them so that others interested in improving healthcare for children can learn from, replicate, and adapt these innovations to new environments.
