In this year\u2019s LEAP Challenge, the panel of expert judges<\/a> selected 10 organizations<\/a> from over 240 applications to become official 2023 LEAP Project Hosts. They will receive expertise from research and social entrepreneur fellows<\/a> over the course of a 12-week project sprint, tailored strategies designed to strengthen their evidence base, and a $5,000 stipend.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n\r\n
