CAN YOU GET THIS?

You must be working on a climate-health innovation focused on mosquito-borne disease, extreme heat, or air quality — and operating in Africa, Latin America, or the Caribbean.

You must be working on a climate-health innovation focused on mosquito-borne disease, extreme heat, or air quality — and operating in Africa, Latin America, or the Caribbean.

Eligible solutions include early warning systems, climate-responsive patient care, or tools that integrate weather and health data to support local health actors in low- and middle-income countries. Both early-stage and growth-stage startups are eligible.

YOUR REAL ODDS

Grant amount is not yet disclosed, and this is a competitive global program backed by a large multi-funder consortium.

Nexa draws on insights from over 6,400 health and humanitarian workers across 107 countries to shape its priorities, suggesting a large applicant pool. The program runs annually, so there will be future cycles if you miss this one.

WHAT IT TAKES

  1. Confirm your solution fits one of the three focus areas (mosquito-borne disease, extreme heat, or air quality) and that you operate in an eligible region — 1–2 hours

  2. Review the full application requirements on the Grand Challenges Canada Apply page — 2–4 hours

  3. Submit your application via the Fluxx portal before the deadline — Several days of preparation

WORTH KNOWING

Nexa explicitly prioritizes locally led, community-driven solutions shaped by frontline health and humanitarian workers — applications that center local actors and demonstrate contextual knowledge of the region are more aligned with the program's stated design.
