This research will back advocacy and program development and will prioritize equitable access to necessary and culturally appropriate dental care services.</p> <p>“This Connaught grant is meaningful because it supports a community-led research partnership that will help to fill this gap and it stands to help support the pathways to economic independence and empowerment for racialized survivors,” Essue says.“The data from this project will support efforts to ensure that the perspectives and lived experiences of racialized IPV survivors can inform the implementation of the national dental care program in Canada.”</p> <p>The Connaught Community Partnerships Research Program encourages collaborative research partnerships that will foster access to each other’s unique knowledge, expertise and capabilities on issues of shared interest. It is intended that the partnerships supported by this program will strengthen over time.</p> <p>Essue is one of four researchers at the ؿζSM to receive the award this year.
