Grant: Travel Awards - Institute Community Support

My name is Dr. Ananya Tina Banerjee and am Assistant Professor-Assistant Director for the Masters of Public Health -Health Promotion (MPH-HP) program at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health (DLPSH), University of Toronto. I am also a Registered Kinesiologist at Women's College Hospital in the Department of Cardiology and Fellow at the Institute of Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES). I received my PhD in Health Research Methodology from McMaster University. As a starting investigator, I am commited to conducting race, ethnicity and health disparities research using mixed-methods designs from a socio-ecological and intersectional lens. My work has been published in high-impact journals, such as The American Journal of Health Promotion and The Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health. I developed, launched and teach the first course on "Race, Ethnicity, And Culture in Health (REACH) at the DLSPH for graduate students. I have been fortunate to receive multiple research awards and grants including the CIHR postdoctoral fellowship and Lawson Foundation Child & Youth Strategy's Funding that has recognized the novelty, impact and value of my research on addressing health inequities in South Asian communities living in Ontario.
