SEATTLE, March 26 () -- The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in Seattle is asking students, scientists and entrepreneurs to design a game-changing next-generation condom. "To overcome persistent health and development problems, we need new, game-changing ideas," Chris Wilson, director of Global Health Discovery & Translational Science at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, said in a statement. "Inspiration can come from anywhere and we are hopeful that this new round of Grand Challenges Explorations will uncover innovative approaches to improve lives around the world." Since 2008,[url=http://www.suprashoessaless.com/]Justin Bieber Supra[/url], the Grand Challenges Explorations initiative funded more than 800 grants in 52 countries. The program welcomes proposals from a broad spectrum of contributors,[url=http://www.suprashoessaless.com/]Supra Shoes Cheap[/url], and encourages cross-discipline approaches.Anyone with a transformative idea is invited to submit an easy, online, two-page application to the foundation, Wilson said.
