Project with MILC Members funded by CIHR to improve breastfeeding support and maternal health

11/11/2024

 
MILC Members Dr. Nathan Nickel (left) and Dr. Garry Shen (right) have both received funding from the CIHR Operating Grant: National Women's Health Research Initiative (NWHRI) Innovation Fund. Their combined funding totals more than $1.1 million.
The project led by Dr. Nickel is titled "THRIVE: Transforming Healthcare through Research to Improve Breastfeeding and Advance Women's Health". This project will expand the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative to community health centres across Canada.  
The project led by Dr. Shen is titled "Protecting and Supporting Breastfeeding and Lactation Equity in Manitoba through Community-Integrated Education and Care using Culturally Safe and Gender-Affirming Care".  This project will address the gaps in access to breastfeeding support in Manitoba, in particular for First Nations families, 2SLGBTQI parents and other underrepresented groups.
