Grant: Travel Awards - Institute Community Support

I am an early career researcher developing my research program on determining barriers and facilitators to healthcare services and public health programs with a focus on vaccination programs and equity. The aim of my work is to determine the sub-populations not accessing these important public health services and what factors may be contributing to lack of access, which can then be intervened on. The aim of my program is also to help inform policy decision-making. The CIHR-III New Investigator Forum will help me build important skills necessary for an early career researcher within the field of infection and immunity. Additionally, the Forum will provide an opportunity to network with senior investigators and potential collaborators in the field.
