Ahead of a major election year, several of the Grand Challenge networks have created briefs detailing policy recommendations for making progress in various Grand Challenge areas. These briefs can be helpful tools to focus policy advocacy and communicate about solutions with various stakeholders. We encourage you to take a look and share these with your networks, colleagues, professional organizations, and legislators.
