Award Details

The Global Institute for Disease Elimination (GLIDE) is launching the Falcon Awards for Disease Elimination – The Climate Edit – a global initiative which aims to expand the evidence base regarding the intersection of disease elimination and climate. Through the awards, GLIDE will provide catalytic support to researchers to examine new and under-explored areas of the climate and infectious disease nexus.

EXPECTED IMPACT  

  1. Elevate consideration of infectious diseases in the climate change discourse and drive momentum towards improved understanding of the intersection between infectious disease and climate.
  2. Support formative research to enhance understanding of infectious diseases within the climate-health nexus and inform potential intervention design.
  3. Disseminate knowledge to increase understanding and catalyse action in the climate and health space.
  4. Cultivate partnerships with research institutions exploring the impacts of climate change on the transmission, control, elimination, and eradication of infectious diseases

Each winner will receive a sum of up to $USD 50,000 to undertake a formative research project over a period of six months in the run-up to COP28. The research outcomes must contribute to the evidence base regarding the intersection of disease elimination and climate and contribute to local understanding of climate and health issues.
