Research

The focus of research is to promote health equity and sustainability by discovering ways for better understanding and addressing occupational and environmental health challenges in an era of globalization.

By emphasizing strong partnerships with Latin American and African colleagues as well as direct involvement of affected communities, GHRP has established platforms for conducting long-term, high-impact intervention projects.

In 2011, GHRP was honoured to receive two 5 year, Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR)-funded health equity research program grants, ensuring a stable environment for sustaining and advancing collaborations established in Ecuador and South Africa
