The recipients and their projects are:
- Agnès 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";

- 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 91ÑÇÉ«-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’s CPGH Workshop.
