The GHIT Fund announces a funding award opportunity "GHIT Fund RFP 2013-001" for the discovery and development of new medicines, vaccines, or diagnostics for infectious diseases that are prevalent in the developing world, including HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, Malaria, and other Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs). Proposed projects should address health needs in the developing world or fill a gap in global health technologies for infectious diseases.

The proposed collaboration project may include R&D activities from discovery to licensure. More specifically, we seek to fund a portfolio of innovative collaboration projects, such as:

• Pre-clinical development (e.g., animal model development, toxicology screening, chemistry, formulation development, process validation)
• Clinical development (e.g., Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3)
• Licensure (e.g., submission to WHO prequalification)
