This grant program is part of the Grand Challenges in Global Health initiative. With up to $12 million of funding, the program seeks to validate biomarkers for use in developing a low cost, simple to use test that can quickly and accurately diagnose tuberculosis in low-resource settings. The term biomarker is intended to include all types of markers that have potential utility for tuberculosis diagnosis and can include markers associated with either host or pathogen biology.

Pois então Professor Barral Neto, eu até poderia ter condições de submeter um projeto para esta fundação bem como projetos na área de neurociência, epidemiologia do câncer, biologia do câncer e até mesmo na parasitologia. Mas não esqueço quando pedi a renovação da bolsa ao CNPq para permanecer no país como pesquisador após 16 anos de pesquisa na Europa, a mesma me foi negada pelo caro Professor. http://hadriano66.blogspot.com/
