Applicants can be at any experience level; in any discipline; and from any organization, including colleges and universities, government laboratories, research institutions, non-profit organizations and for-profit companies. \nProposals are being accepted online until May 6, 2014 on the following topics: \n-New Ways of Working Together: Integrating Community-Based Interventions \n-Explore New Ways to Measure Fetal and Infant Brain Development \n-Innovations in Feedback & Accountability Systems for Agricultural Development \n-Inciting Healthy Behaviors: nudge, leapfrog, disrupt, reach \n-Novel Enabling Tools and Models Supporting the Development of \nInterventions for Severe Diarrhea and Enteric Dysfunction \nInitial grants will be US $100,000 each, and projects showing promise will have the opportunity to receive additional funding of up to US $1 million. \nFull descriptions of the new topics and application instructions are available at: www.grandchallenges.org/explorations. \n \n2) Grand Challenges Canada, through their Stars in Global Health program, is seeking ideas that use scientific, social, or business innovation to address some of the most pressing challenges in global health. Talented innovators in both low- and middle-income countries and Canada are invited to apply. Proposals are being accepted until March 10, 2014. More information, including the request for proposals, application instructions, and frequently asked questions can be found at: \nhttp://response.notifications.gatesfoundation.org/t?ctl=4AE0DD6:EC1D4E0B6B7E6EEAB093215083D2608C5F7B25B3BA82FABC& \n \n3) In addition there is also a Biostatistics Course opportunity from KwaZulu-Natal Research Institute for TB and HIV. Deadline for applications is March 31, 2014. For more information and to apply please visit www.k-rith.org. \nWe are looking forward to receiving innovative ideas from around the world and from all disciplines.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
