For this challenge, we are interested in research proposals for well-defined projects that seek to understand what causes poverty, how we can bring more people above the poverty line, or improving development practices around the world.

Below are some examples of areas, however, proposals do not need to address these specific questions. Any project related to poverty or development is welcome.

• How can we get people access to vaccines and drugs for common infectious diseases?
• How can we efficiently use microloans to give people financial independence?
• How can we better provide access to food, shelter, clean water, and electricity?
