The focus of our 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 colleagues from the global south as well as direct involvement of affected communities, GHRP has established platforms for conducting long-term, high-impact intervention projects.
The GHRP has been successful in obtaining continuous grant funding since its inception almost 20 years ago. In 2020, we received rapid research funding from CIHR and IDRC for work related to healthcare workers and COVID. In 2024, we received a project grant from CIHR entitled, “Using locally developed computer-assisted detection to promote social justice for a population with a high burden of lung disease: A participatory equity-sensitive approach“.
