Associate Professor Dr. Heather Gainforth is the SSHRC Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Research Coproduction and Implementation Science.
Dr. Heather Gainforth has a singular principle that drives her research and her career.
“At the end of the day, everything I do is in service to the communities that benefit from my work.”
That work—seeking to inject meaningful community engagement into all aspects of university research projects—received national recognition today when Dr. Gainforth, Associate Professor in the Faculty of Health and Social Development, was named the SSHRC Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Research Coproduction and Implementation Science.
“It’s huge,” she says. “Being a CRC is not only an honour, but it helps protect my time to better conduct my research and better service communities—I can show up so much more in the ways I want to.”
