Weiss Asset Management Foundation invites proposals from organizations and researchers that engage in highly cost-effective work to alleviate human suffering in low- and lower-middle-income countries.

Grant Focus Areas
The foundation prioritizes projects with the potential to create measurable, large-scale impact in areas such as:

• Global health

• Nutrition

• Poverty reduction

• Water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH)

• Pandemic preparedness

• Disaster resilience

• Evidence-based policy research

• Other interventions that significantly improve wellbeing in low- and middle-income countries

-

1. Nutrition

We seek proposals that address nutrition challenges in low- and lower-middle-income countries, with a focus on highly cost-effective interventions that can improve nutrition-related health outcomes for vulnerable populations.

2. Health Impacts of Poor Air Quality

We invite proposals that address the health impacts of poor air quality, with a focus on evidence-based and cost-effective interventions that seek to improve human health rather than address broader climate-change issues. Proposals may include interventions and research that generate insights into mitigating the adverse effects of poor air quality on people in low- and lower-middle-income countries.

3. Health Services Delivery

We seek proposals that offer systemic solutions or research related to efficient delivery of health services in low- and lower-middle-income countries. Proposals could include research and interventions that are evidence-based or evidence-generating. We are particularly interested in practical solutions that could improve supply chains, streamline implementation, and maximize impact for vulnerable populations.
