EDST Professor is a team recipient of CIHR Grant

EDST congratulates Jennifer Chan, Associate Professor, who is one of seven international co-investigators on a research team which was awarded a four-year grant from Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) for $406,716. This operating grant is in support of the team’s research project, Living in “transnational spaces”: Gendered vulnerability to HIV of Chinese immigrants in Canada and the implications for future interventions.

The study’s objective is to understand the contrast between Chinese immigrants’ risky sexual behaviours, and silence surrounding sex and HIV. The study findings will help develop education programs, services and policies on global health governance.
