Columbia University's International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI) has received $900,000 from Google.org to improve the use of climate information to predict disease outbreaks in East Africa. The award is part of a wider Google program that funds projects to map hot spots of emerging diseases and improve early-warning systems in resource-poor countries.
