Assuming a sufficient number of proposals of sufficient merit, this RFP is expected to fundbetween 10-20 grants of varying amounts for an aggregate total cost of up to $12 million

Canadian Dollars over three years. Applicant organizations must be individual non-profitorganizations or for-profit companies. The Principal Investigator must be from a low or middle-income country.
