About Saving Lives at Birth: In 2011, the Saving Lives at Birth program called upon the brightest minds across the globe to identify and scale up transformative prevention and treatment approaches in rural, low-resource settings for pregnant women and newborns around the time of birth. Building upon the success of the past four years, in February, the program launched its fifth call and received an impressive set of applications that continue to push the boundaries of innovation. We are narrowing our pool of innovators, and these finalists, along with our existing grantees, have been invited to the Development^XChange in Washington, D.C., to participate in the final stage of the competition and actively network their ideas with businesses, funders, development experts, non-governmental organizations and each other.
