2022 INGENUITY FUND – REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
We are delighted to be launching fourth round of the 120 Under 40 Ingenuity Fund in 2022. This round of funding will build momentum toward the 2022 International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP), connecting sexual and reproductive health to Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
The overall purpose of the 2022 120 Under 40 Ingenuity Fund is to encourage the winners of 120 Under 40 to think creatively and inventively about ways to advance family planning and reproductive health for women and men, communities, and countries around the world. The fund is designed to reward fresh, inventive thinking that will enable breakthroughs in family planning and reproductive health — the kind of thinking that can cause a “positive disruption” in some aspect of family planning, and in this unique circumstance also alleviate a much-needed gap in family planning and reproductive health. The primary objectives of the 2022 120 Under 40 Ingenuity Fund are the following:
- Award funding to 120 Under 40 winners to implement creative and inventive problem-solving about challenges in reproductive health and family planning, encouraging them to grow as thought leaders and participate even more fully in charting the course of the family planning movement.
- Infuse additional creative energy and ideas into the thinking around the future of family planning.
- Amplify the visibility and reach 120 Under 40 Ingenuity Fund winners’ projects, including spotlighting their work at the 2023 World Contraception Day, 6th International Conference on Family Planning, and through multiple Gates Institute and 120 Under 40 promotional activities and materials, such as website, social media posts, and e-mail newsletters.

The new Leadership Accelerator will engage mid-career policy-makers, program managers, advocates and academicians who exhibit exceptional promise and potential for leadership and achievement in global health.
OVERVIEW
The two-week Global Health Leadership Accelerator will impart innovative approaches to leadership, program management, policy analysis, strategic planning, communications, advocacy and organizational change. Through dynamic discussions and hands-on exercises, participants will learn new skills, apply them to real-world examples and reflect on what they’ve learned.
The discussion-based course will be led by the following:
Henry Mosley, MD, MPH – Professor Emeritus, Department of Population, Family and Reproductive Health, JHSPH

Government and project leaders

Participants will return to their organizations and home countries with new leadership, advocacy and communication skills that will enable them to make positive, transformative change and contribute at a higher level to advancing global health.
Specifically, students will be able to:
Recognize the importance of self-reflection to clarify one’s values and purpose in life, and understand how one’s mindset (world mental models) shapes the reality that one observes
Describe the underlying relationships and deeper patterns that shape it, and identify leverage points for change
Engage stakeholders at every level in coalitions to generate a shared vision of a better future
Build committed action-learning teams based on shared goals and values, mutual respect, and a willingness to take risks and learn from mistakes
Negotiate conflict, accepting differences, but taking actions from which all sides can learn and benefit

The fund is designed to reward fresh, inventive thinking that will enable breakthroughs in family planning and reproductive health — the kind of thinking that can cause a “positive disruption” in some aspect of family planning, and in this unique circumstance also alleviate a much needed gap during this global pandemic. It is a fitting funding opportunity for the 120 Under 40 winners, who are the next generation of family planning leaders; it will challenge them to grow as thought leaders and to participate even more fully in charting the course of family planning post-2020. It will also result in an injection of additional creative ideas into the thinking around family planning’s future.
A small number of awards will be available, and funding will range from USD $3,000 to USD $20,000. The concept underpinning this fund is “small is beautiful,” recognizing that seemingly small actions can have huge repercussions. Funding may be viewed as a prize for the best ideas or can be utilized to carry out proposed projects/activities. The “ingenuity” in the fund’s name can be interpreted as the creation of a new idea as well as the reframing of existing approaches and systems.
This opportunity allows the 120 Under 40 winners to not only receive additional funding, but also to access a global platform from which to share that idea. The funded projects will be presented and shared globally at the sixth ICFP in Pattaya, Thailand.
