The Darling Foundation was established in 1929 in honour of eminent [[malaria]] expert Dr. [[Samuel Taylor Darling]], who died tragically while participating in a study expedition for the [[League of Nations]]' Malaria Commission. In 1948, WHO acquired control of the Foundation. A bronze medal and a fixed amount of 2500 CHF make up the Darling Foundation Prize, which is given for exceptional work in the pathology, aetiology, epidemiology, treatment, prevention, or control of malaria. It was discontinued in 2000.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Darling Foundation |url=https://apps.who.int/gb/awards/e/Darling.html |website=WHO}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |date=July 1971 |title=Darling Foundation Award |journal=WHO Chronicle |volume=25 |issue=7 |pages=302–306 |pmid=4935154}}</ref>
