KUALA LUMPUR, April 14 -- The Global Institute for Disease Elimination (GLIDE) has launched The Falcon Awards for Disease Elimination, in a drive to discover and implement innovative approaches to disease elimination.
According to a statement, GLIDE is a new Abu Dhabi-based global health Institute focused on eliminating infectious diseases of poverty.
The Falcon Awards invites Non-Governmental Organisations, philanthropic foundations, coalitions or networks of Civil Society Organisations, academic or research institutions, Public-Private Partnerships, and public or private sector institutions in endemic countries to submit proposals that aim to accelerate the elimination of one or more of GLIDE’s four focus diseases.
The diseases are malaria, polio, lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis.
GLIDE is particularly seeking proposals which address cross-border, cross-disease, cross-programme, or cross-sector approaches to disease elimination.
Submissions should focus on the implementation of innovative ideas and established research which has a high potential to be catalytic, transformational, or genuinely novel in approach, or on operational research with prospects to provide solutions to existing disease elimination challenges.
Five winners will be announced later this year following a thorough evaluation by a jury panel comprising esteemed global health experts.
Each winner will receive a sum of up to US$200,000 to fund and implement their unique solutions to disease elimination. (US$1 =RM4.128)
The applications open on May 4 with a deadline on June 13. More details at https://glideae.org/awards
