Here are some links from the GCGH site:
The 14 Grand Challenges serve 7 long-term goals to improve health in the developing world.


Click below to learn more about specific challenges related to the seven goals.

1 Improve Vaccines
Improving delivery and stability of vaccines, as well as making them quicker and easier to administer, may one day save hundreds of thousands of young lives.

Challenge 7: Develop a Genetic Strategy to Deplete or Incapacitate a Disease-transmitting Insect Population
Challenge 8: Develop a Chemical Strategy to Deplete or Incapacitate a Disease-transmitting Insect Population

4 Improve Nutrition
Poor nutrition is a major global health problem. A promising long-term solution is to genetically modify crops that grow well in harsh climates so that they contain high levels of essential nutrients.

Challenge 9: Create a Full Range of Optimal, Bioavailable Nutrients in a Single Staple Plant Species

5 Limit Drug Resistance
Developing drugs that target different components of a pathogen and finding new ways to deliver them in the body may one day minimize drug resistance.
