Dear Investigators,

Launched last September in Vancouver, the Canadian Rising Stars in Global Health program is seeking emerging scientists' ideas and creativity to address pressing global health issues. In this round, Grand Challenges Canada will award up to 20 grants of $100,000. Awardees in this round will be eligible for a later competition of $1 million awards. The application deadline for this round of $100,000 grants is March 7, 2011.

Grand Challenges Canada is a new global health organization funded through Canada's foreign aid budget. We strive to transform global health through an integrated innovation approach. For further information, please see www.grandchallenges.ca<http://www.grandchallenges.ca/>.
