The PandemicTech Innovation Fellowship 2020 — Announcing our $100,000 Global Health Security Innovation Challenge

大流行病抗疫科技PandemicTech十分高兴地宣布开放大流行病抗疫科技PandemicTech 2020年度创新研究奖金，该计划总金额为$100,000美元，旨在选出并支持那些在抗击大规模流行性传染疾病威胁中最具希望和前景的全球卫生安全创新者。

The 2019-nCoV coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, the 2018 outbreak of Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and deadly outbreaks within the last decade of influenza, MERS, SARS, and Zika have consistently demonstrated the need for locally driven innovative approaches to confronting these dynamic challenges. PandemicTech is a community of innovators backed by a network of resources dedicated to improving global health security; we are seeking fresh ideas and new partners as we continue to build this community.

2019年于武汉爆发新型冠状病毒（nCoV），2018年于刚果民主共和国爆发埃博拉病毒，以及过去十年中流感、中东呼吸综合症 （MERS）、严重急性呼吸综合症（SARS）和寨卡病毒（Zika）的致命性爆发，一再表明在应对这些不断变化的挑战面前，我们需要当地推动的创新之举。大流行病抗疫科技PandemicTech就是一个创新者社区，拥有致力于改善全球卫生安全的一整套资源； 在进一步建设这一社区的过程中，我们也在寻求脱颖而出的思路和新的合作伙伴。
