2025 Knowledge Mobilization Grant Recipients
The Institute for Pandemics (IfP) is pleased to announce the five recipients of the 2025 Knowledge Mobilization (KMb) Grants.
The purpose of these $5,000 grants is to support the dissemination of knowledge generated from pandemic and public health emergency-focused research and engagement of knowledge users, stakeholders, and decision-makers to impact on policy and practice.
The five recipients represent four U of T divisions, continuing IfP’s aim to support research across the university and highlight quality pandemic research from many disciplines.
Individuals from government, not-for-profit and the private sector interested in collaborating with these projects are encouraged to message ifp.dlsph@utoronto.ca to discuss opportunities for engagement.
Congratulations to this year’s recipients!
