For the past three decades, Notisha Massaquoi has advocated for the health of Black communities across Canada. In March, the renowned expert in health equity was awarded $250,000 as the inaugural recipient the Connaught Major Research Challenge for Black Researchers to advance this work.
The project will utilize the expertise of a tri-campus team of researchers from across disciplines, and community partners in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), to provide concrete solutions and roadmaps to eliminating anti-Black racism in health care.
