For the year 2019 the Child Health Foundation (CHF) wishes to receive proposals from registered non-governmental organizations (NGO)s) for innovative research or innovative service projects directed at improving the health and well-being of new-born infants during their first month of life. This is a time of high risk for babies and their mothers, and the believe that local groups may have some innovative ideas about how to improve the lives of these vulnerable infants. Organizations must be certified, that is, hold registration in the country of origin. And they will ask for a credible reference. No other proposals will be considered.
CHF will consider a range of technologies and approaches including both biomedical and social science projects that show promise, are innovative, and may have wide-spread application. Projects that involve only general medical care of children, but without innovative aspects, will not be considered.
Please note: In the past, CHF has invited a letter of intent to be submitted first. Among these letters, some were invited to submit a full application. For 2019, CHF is not inviting a letter of intent; rather, applicants should submit the full proposal directly.
