The Open Society Institute: http://www.soros.org/initiatives/health/focus/tuberculosis/about - Gives grants to individuals and organizations; you can search by country.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation: http://www.gatesfoundation.org/grantseeker/Pages/overview.aspx - Provides ongoing funding for TB through the Global Health division

Just received: Call for research proposals from civil society organizations (CSOs)

Deadline: May 23

The WHO Scientific Resource Group on Equity Analysis and Research together with the Global Forum for Health Research and People's Health Movement announce a call for research proposals from civil society organizations (CSOs) on the theme:

‘Advancing health equity through research and practice – identifying what works to reduce health inequities’.

This call for research proposals aims at:

* Identifying the four most promising operational research and evaluation proposals submitted by CSOs;
* Refining methods, particularly on the attribution of changes in the distribution of health resulting from the interventions, and considerations to increase the interpretation and potential generalisability of results. For this, selected research proposals will be presented, discussed and improved during the 20th IUHPE World Conference on Health Promotion, in Geneva, Switzerland;
* Facilitating the conduct of winning research proposals by expert mentoring, facilitating contacts with potential research funders, a cash award of up to USD 10,000 (to contribute to evaluation of the intervention) and facilitating the dissemination of results.
