Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) affect more than one billion of the world’s most vulnerable people, many in remote and underserved locations. In these contexts, affected people and health systems confront challenges in finding, diagnosing, treating and managing the complications of NTDs.
American Leprosy Missions accelerates the exploration and application of innovative solutions to stop disease and improve well-being for people affected by high-morbidity NTDs. Our lean experimentation process allows us to engage in translational research and develop projects, systems and tools that create sustainable, positive impact. This includes the annual NTD Innovation Prize, launched in September 2019. The prize encourages and supports ideas with the potential for cost-effective, scalable results for people affected by NTDs. In 2020, American Leprosy Missions is partnering with Novartis to offer a first place prize of $20,000 and a second place prize of $15,000.
