WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)
Administrator Rajiv Shah today launched the Fighting Ebola: A Grand
Challenge for Development with a call to innovators around the world to
submit ideas focused on improving the tools used by frontline healthcare
workers in the fight against Ebola in West Africa. The initial focus of
the Challenge, as announced by President Obama on Sept. 26, is to generate
pioneering solutions to improve the personal protective equipment (PPE)
and tools used by healthcare workers battling Ebola. Shah detailed the
initiative today at the Grand Challenges Annual Meeting in Seattle, Wash.
.
Together with our international partners, we will translate the expertise
and ingenuity of scientists, innovators, engineers, and students from
across the globe into real solutions, said Shah. With your bold thinking
and engagement, we can give health workers the tools they need to win this
fight.
.
The Challenge seeks new, practical solutions in partnership with the White
House Office of Science and Technology, the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention and the Department of Defense.
.
The Fighting Ebola Grand Challenge will help to identify innovations that
improve the comfort while maintaining the safety of PPE masks, gloves,
boots and other protective gear used by healthcare workers. Every day,
health workers in Ebola-affected countries are performing critical,
life-saving tasks that prevent the spread of the virus. PPE offers
important protection, but also is the greatest source of physical
discomfort and stress for the workers.
.
To help healthcare workers on the front lines provide better care and stop
the spread of Ebola, this Grand Challenge will establish:
.
An open innovation platform, hosted by IDEO, to crowd source and
incubate innovative ideas to improve delivery of care and stem the spread
of disease, including improvements in PPE;
.
A challenge competition to fund and test innovations for PPE, infection
treatment and control; and
.
Partnerships for rapid testing and deployment of the best solutions.
.

USAIDs Grand Challenge for Development initiative crowd-sources solutions
to solve clearly-defined problem sets, engaging the world in a quest to
discover, incubate, test, and accelerate innovative solutions that have
the potential to solve the worlds greatest development challenges.
