Call for Papers: A human-centered approach to health innovations
Global Justice Program, Yale
As the COVID-19 pandemic and global health exigencies show, many important vaccines, treatments, diagnostics, and other health technologies remain unaffordable or inaccessible to millions of people, many of whom suffer or die as a result.
We invite activists, academics, policymakers, industry representatives, and health professionals to contribute to an edited open-access volume advancing a human-centered approach to health innovations.
Contributors will be invited to present their draft essays at a hybrid workshop in New Haven, October 28-30, 2022.

Ambedkar Grants for Advancing Poverty Eradication, Funding Opportunity
In its first year, AGAPE aims to divide Rs. 8,00,000/- among ca. five promising projects that will pilot innovative approaches to poverty eradication. Here poverty is defined broadly as including the whole range of basic social and economic needs; and eradication is conceived as enabling households to escape poverty permanently. Only individuals and organizations planning projects in India are eligible to apply.
Guidelines:
Applications should consist of one page each on the proposal and the proposers.
The proposal page should specify a detailed plan for the pilot project, preceded by a one-sentence summary statement of purpose, and followed by a brief timeline and budget.
The proposer page should give relevant details about the person(s) intending to do the work and (if applicable) their organization.
Additional supporting materials are accepted but not encouraged.
An expert panel will assess pilot projects based on their cost-effectiveness and promise of success as well as their potentials for innovation and scale-up. Selected projects may be resubmitted in subsequent years for additional funding.
Proposals should be sent to agapeindiagroup@gmail.com by 31 July 2022, with selections to be announced by the end of August.
AGAPE is an initiative by Academics Stand Against Poverty (ASAP), an international community of scholars and researchers working to confront the rules and practices that perpetuate global poverty and to initiate targeted, evidence-based reforms. This initiative commemorates and honors Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, India’s foremost promoter of poverty eradication.
We would like to thank Krishen and Geeta MEHTA as the generous sponsors of the inaugural three years of the AGAPE fund.
