• Program Description

  The Gates Vaccine Innovation Award is open to individuals from any discipline. Candidates from academic institutions, governments, healthcare facilities, research institutions, nonprofit organizations, and for-profit companies may be nominated.
  
  We invite you to nominate individuals or a group of individuals who have achieved significant improvements in the prevention, control, or elimination of vaccine-preventable diseases through immunization.
  
  Criteria: We recognize that innovation in the delivery of vaccines can take many shapes. Rather than limit what innovation can mean, we welcome a diverse array of ideas. As long as the innovation resulted in tangible health impact related to vaccine delivery, it is eligible for consideration.
  
  Nominees will be assessed on three broad criteria:
  

  • Impact: The nominee should have achieved significant improvements in the prevention, control, or elimination of vaccine-preventable disease.
  • Innovation and Creativity: The nominee should have applied imaginative and pioneering approaches to overcome difficult challenges to immunizing children and achieving impact.
  • Scale: The nominee's innovation should be at scale or suitable to be implemented at scale within the nominee's country and around the world.

• Other opportunities from Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
