MONTREAL, QC, Nov. 13, 2011 /CNW/ - Grand Challenges Canada CEO Dr. Peter A. Singer today announced a pioneering new funding program for creative and dynamic developing world innovators. The announcement was made at the 2011 Global Health Conference. "Rising Stars in Global Health" is a program designed to encourage developing country innovators to pursue their original and bold ideas to tackle some of the most difficult global health challenges.
"Grand Challenges Canada believes that some of the most effective life-saving breakthroughs come from developing country innovators," said Dr. Peter A. Singer, CEO of Grand Challenges Canada. "Who knows the people, the health challenges, the impact and the potential for solutions better than motivated local innovators? Often promising local ideas do not have the support to be developed. We want to change that."
