UBC Health is inviting interdisciplinary teams who are undertaking innovative health-oriented research in faculties, schools, or departments that stretches beyond the usual or expected to participate in Health After 2020.
 
The Health After 2020 program enables researchers to engage in interdisciplinary, cross-institutional collaborations that aim to create change in health and health producing systems. 

Health in Unexpected Places

The 2022/23 theme for Health After 2020 is Health in Unexpected Places. Health is not only the absence of disease but an attribute of individuals, communities, and societies that is vital for daily living. Health is shaped by a wide range of determinants, from individual genetics and risk factors to social and environmental exposures, education, work, and social and economic position. Health-oriented research exists in surprising and unexpected places across every faculty, school, and department at UBC—demonstrating that improving health and wellbeing extends beyond the health disciplines.
 
UBC Health offers funding of up to $10,000 to support program participants in starting or extending a collaborative relationship with a scholar or collaborator from outside UBC. Funds may be used to deliver Health After 2020 dialogue sessions and cover expenses for external collaborators to travel to Vancouver or the Okanagan.
 
The call for proposals is open to faculty members at UBC Vancouver and UBC Okanagan. The deadline to submit a proposal is September 29, 2022.
