UVic’s “Pathways to Impact” fund aims to move original research that aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs<\/a>) and move it into real-world applications for greatest impact.\u00a0The fund is a partnership between UVic’s Research Partnerships and Knowledge Mobilization<\/a> (RPKM) unit and UVic Libraries<\/a>.\u00a0Funded projects will make their research openly accessible, including via UVicSpace<\/a>, contributing to the democratization of knowledge and knowledge equity. The inaugural UVic fund<\/a> is one of a few institutionally led knowledge-mobilization funding initiatives across Canadian research universities and among the first to directly target the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Among the seven projects that were selected for the 2022 Pathways to Impact<\/em> fund is
\nA prospective cohort study of access to safe drinking water in Malawi<\/em>, the summary of the doctoral research of Dr. Alexandra Cassivi<\/a> \u2013 supervised by Dr. Caetano Dorea<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dr. Cassivi\u2019s research potential was recognized in 2020 with a\u00a0Green Talents<\/a> award. She is now a Postdoctoral Fellow at Universit\u00e9 Laval.\u00a0Dr. Dorea is a professor at the Department of Civil Engineering<\/a>, Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Victoria, research group leader of the Public Health & Environmental Engineering (PH2E) Lab<\/a>, and the director of the NSERC CREATE in Water & Sanitation for Low-Resource Contexts (#WASHCanada)<\/a> project.<\/p>\n

This research project is dedicated to exploring access to safe drinking water and sanitation for diverse populations in Malawi. It is hoped that the findings can be applied globally to make recommendations for assessing and monitoring access to water, particularly for low- and middle-income countries.<\/p>\n

The following articles were published in connection with the project so far:<\/p>\n
