$1.7M for McGill from NSERC for 鈥極ne Health鈥� and quantum research
A research team led by William Dawson Scholar and Assistant Professor Jen Ronholm (AnSci/FdSci) has received $1.65 million for an NSERC CREATE in One Health Against Pathogens (OHAP). Ten co-applicants from McGill, the University of Saskatchewan, the University of Guelph, and l鈥橴niversit茅 du Qu茅bec 脿 Montr茅al will collaborate. Additional partners include Health Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the National Research Council of Canada and Tahatikonhsont贸ntie鈥� Qu茅bec Network Environment for Indigenous Health Research (NEIHR).
鈥淭he [program] will train graduate students to think holistically about the profound connections between environmental, animal, and human health, and take these connections into account when devising strategies to control the spread of infectious disease,鈥� says Professor Jen Ronholm. 鈥淓specially for pathogens with complex transmission pathways, a 鈥淥ne Health鈥� approach is needed for effective, equitable, and sustainable control that maximizes public good and minimizes harmful social, economic, health and environmental outcomes.鈥�
