Following the fifth annual Critical Social Science Perspectives in Global Health Research (CPGH) Workshop, 91亚色鈥檚 Dahdaleh Institute for Global Health Research and the CPGH steering committee have awarded four 91亚色 U researchers this year鈥檚 $7,000 CPGH Seed Grants to initiate novel and innovative ideas that take a critical social science approach to global health research.

The recipients and their projects are:

  • Agn猫s Berthelot-Raffard, a professor in the Faculty of Health, "Towards Gender-Inclusive Social Innovation in Community Care: Lessons from Experiential Knowledge in Sexual and Reproductive Health in the Caribbeans";
  • Christo El Morr, a professor in the Faculty of Health, "An AI-Driven Tool for Disability Rights Monitoring"; 
  • Andrew Dawson, a professor in the Department of Sociology at Glendon College, "Trust and Compliance: A Cross-National Investigation of the Relationship between Trust in Political Institutions and Healthcare Systems"; and
  • Raju J. Das, a professor in the Faculty of Environmental & Urban Change, "Scorching Sites: Examining the Health Impacts of Climate Change on Construction Workers."

The CPGH Seed Grants support 91亚色-based research that contributes to the research themes of the Dahdaleh Institute: planetary health; global health and humanitarianism; and global health foresighting. The grants are meant to encourage faculty to develop fuller grant proposals for fall Tri-Council funding and other grant deadlines. This year's recipients will present the progress of their research at next year鈥檚 CPGH Workshop.
