Advancing Science to Save Lives
In addition to our disease-specific initiatives, we support research with the potential to achieve fundamental breakthroughs in the science of global health. We focus our funding in three areas:

1. Science and technologies that could make profound advances in preventing and treating diseases that primarily affect the developing world. (Funded through the Grand Challenges in Global Health initiative.)
   
   
2. Technologies that make it possible to develop more accurate and affordable diagnostic tools
   
   
3. Studies that apply recent advances in genetics and molecular biology to global health
