In 2022, GLIDE launched its second iteration of the Falcon Awards for Disease Elimination – The Climate Edit in an effort to expand the evidence base on the intersection between climate change and infectious diseases. Nine projects were selected to conduct six-month formative research projects, the results were presented in a Compendium of Research in 2023.

By leveraging more than 20,000 malaria infection observations from a prospective cohort study in Madagascar, this research project aimed to characterize spatial and temporal variation in malaria transmission in the context of two major cyclones. The research evaluates the impact of disruptions for the suite of malaria control tools recommended by the World Health Organization by deriving estimates of the force of infection by locality, age group, and season.
