An Advance Market Commitment (AMC) for neonatal sepsis diagnostics could save newborn lives and curb antibiotic resistance.
But how should such an AMC actually work? And how will we get it off the ground? 🧵

In collaboration with @CGDev, we’re establishing a working group to design an Advance Market Commitment (AMC) for a rapid diagnostic for neonatal sepsis—a devastating and neglected cause of child mortality.
Here’s why this is our focus. 🧵👇

Neonatal sepsis kills ~500k newborns every year, yet fast and accurate diagnostics remain unavailable. Our new 3-post series with @CGDev unpacks the problem—and shows how an Advance Market Commitment (AMC) could unlock life-saving innovation. 🧵👇

White House Office of Science and Technology Policy director Michael Kratsios gets it:
"Prizes, advance market commitments, and other novel funding mechanisms, like fast and flexible grants, can multiply the impact of government-funded research."
