[RxPG] New Delhi, May 18 - The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Tuesday announced 78 grants of $100,000 each to support research in 18 countries in a bid to promote family health.

'Grand Challenges Explorations continues to generate unique and creative ways to tackle global health issues,' said Tachi Yamada, president of the Gates Foundation's Global Health Programme.

'We are convinced that some of these ideas will lead to new innovations and eventually solutions that will save lives.'
