Prof. Marc Mendelson in discussion with Maggie Fox (One World One Health)

[Originally published by One Health Trust]

“While innovative and effective ideas to help solve major global health problems are hard to come by, finding and attaining funding to put them into action can be even more difficult. The research grant review process takes time and can be bogged down in red tape. Decisions on who and what kind of research gets funded can pass over novel ideas in favor of familiar project plans.

The Trinity Challenge aims to shake things up a bit by rewarding creative and practical ideas that take research down to the community level. While the first round was dedicated to addressing COVID-19, the latest prize will go to ideas to fight the emergence and spread of drug-resistant infections, otherwise known as antimicrobial resistance (AMR).”

Trinity Challenge Director Prof. Marc Mendelson joined Maggie Fox to discuss the Trinity Challenge on Antimicrobial Resistance in an episode of the One World One Health podcast from the One Health Trust.
