Saving Brains seeks bold ideas with real - world impact that also have the potential  to be scaled up sustainably. By the end of the funding period, each project is expected to demonstrate proof of concept, i.e., provide evidence of impact on child development in a controlled or limited setting, and/or that it has reduced a barrier to impact and provided evidence of demand for the innovation. To this end, innovative approaches and sound evaluation are expected to test how the intervention should be optimized to equitably reach the highest number of girls and boys, to have the most impact on each child reached, and to sustain impact at scale. Innovators are required to take into account gender equality considerations, environmental impact and governance structures that can impede or assist the impact of their solution.
