The Health Research Alliance (HRA) and the Public Library of Science (PLOS) have partnered to launch the Reimagine Biomedical Research for a Healthier Future Essay Challenge. The competition is hosted on Altum’s flagship grants management platform – ProposalCentral.
The biomedical research enterprise experienced a year of reckoning in 2020. Global cooperation to create a COVID-19 vaccine at an unprecedented pace shows the promise of research. Yet the pandemic, the resulting economic and social uncertainties, and the urgency of addressing systemic racial and regional inequities all add to longstanding concerns about the sustainability of the biomedical research enterprise. We need a new vision for a healthier future. The Reimagine Biomedical Research for a Healthier Future Essay Challenge is your opportunity to propose systemic changes that re-commit to serving society and achieving an equitable, diverse, and creative environment for all those working to advance scientific discovery and improve human well-being.
The winning essay will be published in either PLOS Biology or PLOS Medicine & will also receive a US$5000 prize.
Please go to ProposalCentral and create a user account (or login if you have one). Please note you will need an ORCID ID. Under the “Grant Opportunities” tab search for “Health Research Alliance”.
