Med School Receives Gates Grants

By Ben Gitlin

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation recently awarded Weill Cornell Medical College two $100,000 grants as part of its Grand Challenges Explorations initiative. The five-year, $100 million initiative — which awards grants on a competitive basis — aims to foster and advance innovative solutions to complex diseases and other medical conditions.

In order to receive funding, researchers needed to submit two page proposals outlining why their project takes an unconventional or creative approach to solving medical problems.
