Gates Foundation donates $7.8 million to research global initiatives

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has selected 78 new charitable initiatives in 18 countries, it announced Monday.

Each of the 78 causes will receive $100,000 in the most recent round of Grand Challenges Explorations. The money, which will fund research projects, will tackle issues such as strategic placement of insect-eating plants to reduce insect-borne diseases, inexpensive Cell Phone microscopes to diagnose malaria, and the relationship of nano-particles to vaccines.
