It is also important that the intervention be scalable and cost effective, so that more children’s lives can be saved.

Projects are evaluated on their:

Effectiveness
Innovation and scalability of the intervention approach within global health
Feasibility of the proposed lives-saved estimate
Probability of success
Ease of verification
