The Global Institute for Disease Elimination (GLIDE) is excited to announce the launch of the inaugural Falcon Awards for Disease Elimination to help advance the elimination of malaria, polio, lymphatic filariasis, and onchocerciasis.
Five grants of up to US$200,000 each to organisations based in endemic countries. Awards will be given to talented groups whose project proposals demonstrate a high potential to expand and amplify effective solutions in disease elimination and create a lasting impact around our current diseases of focus.

- Cross-border, cross-disease, cross-programme, or cross-sector approaches to disease elimination
- Community-centred approaches to disease elimination
- Approaches that better integrate disease elimination within health systems
- Improved approaches to stop disease transmission, including through leveraging data and surveillance
- Improved tools and approaches for vector control
Eligibility:
