This year, American Leprosy Missions partnered with Novartis to offer two $20,000 awards to a finalist in the data and analytics domain and a finalist with a diagnostics proposal. We received 30 abstracts from 15 countries, yielding the six finalists. The finalists were introduced and the winners announced during the 12th annual NTD NGO Network (NNN) Conference, September 7-9, 2021. Additionally, one finalist received a $1,000 Popular Choice Award based on voting through ntdinnnovation.org.
