The Center for Global Development has received a $10 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to support policy research on global health and poverty issues. The grant includes a commitment to match up to $5 million raised by CGD from other donors over the next five years. CGD president Nancy Birdsall said she was grateful for the grant, and for the Gates Foundation's active involvement with the Center's work. "The Gates Foundation is a major player in global health and development, not only because of its money but also because of the staff's openness to new ideas and their intellectual rigor. I am delighted that the Gates Foundation is among the Center's partners."
