Interesting grant. I assume LibreHealth would use a grant of this type for all three sub-projects? Would the steering committee initiate the paperwork?

If we are going to do something with this it needs to be right now:

  • December 20 - January 18: Concept Note Submission

Submitters post iterations of concept notes.

The Peer Review Committee, other submitters, and other stakeholders will:

  • Provide feedback, comments and suggestions
  • Identify potential areas for collaboration
