What gets us excited

• Disease ecology we know, in new or marginalized settings
• Humanitarian health with partners building research capacity
• Climate–infectious disease linkages
• Community-based interventions & access to care in neglected populations
• Thoughtful dynamics of human/vector movement; activity spaces; linking EO to people and places

How we work

• Mostly international; growing U.S. portfolio
• Open science when safe; protect sensitive data
• Rigorous, plain-language analytics—jargon-light, map-friendly, mixed methods welcome
