[Africa][Asia] Evidence for AI in Health - Request for Proposals

Request for proposals (RFP) EVAH initiative

This is the first RFP issued through the newly launched Evidence for AI in Health (EVAH) initiative, which is co-funded by the Gates Foundation, Novo Nordisk Foundation, and Wellcome and will be implemented in partnership with the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab and the African Population and Health Research Center.

EVAH’s first request for proposals (RFP) supports locally-led evaluations of AI-enabled clinical decision support tools (CDSTs) that are ready for real-world use and designed to assist frontline workers with clinical tasks—such as triage, diagnosis, or referral—within primary and community health care settings in Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.
