[Fritz Claydon]

Dear Colleague:

This is a reminder that the deadline for Letter of Intent submission for the
Tuberculosis Biomarkers RFP is March 31, 2011 10:00 AM PDT.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is now accepting letters of inquiry for
the new grant program Biomarkers for the Diagnosis of Tuberculosis.

This grant program is part of the Grand Challenges in Global Health
initiative. With up to $12 million of funding, the program seeks to validate
biomarkers for use in developing a low cost, simple to use test that can
quickly and accurately diagnose tuberculosis in low-resource settings. The
term biomarker is intended to include all types of markers that have
potential utility for tuberculosis diagnosis and can include markers
associated with either host or pathogen biology.

Details and application instructions are available at
http://www.grandchallenges.org/biomarkers/eb

Letters of inquiry are being accepted online until March 31, 2011 10:00 am
PDT.

After a review of submitted letters of inquiry, the foundation will invite
full grant proposals from selected applicants.

We look forward to receiving innovative ideas from scientists around the
world. Please help us to notify a broad audience of researchers by
forwarding this message to others who might be interested in applying.

challenges.
