All full-time and part-time faculty who are involved with or have an interest in health-related research and education activities are reminded to take part in a survey being conducted through the Collaborations for Health Initiative.

Since its launch in July, more than 350 faculty members from various disciplines have completed the survey and provided keywords to describe their health-related activities. Faculty members who have not yet completed the survey are asked to do so by Sept. 15.

The goal of this survey is to create a Directory of Expertise and Interest in health at McMaster University. The directory will help faculty engaged in interdisciplinary, collaborative projects to locate potential colleagues across disciplines who possess similar, or complementary, expertise and interest in health-related research and education. The survey takes about five minutes to complete.

Collaborations for Health is a university-wide initiative intended to facilitate and foster new interdisciplinary, collaborative research and education at McMaster.

If you have any questions or concerns about this survey, please contact Margaret Shkimba, administrative co-ordinator, Collaborations for Health, at (905) 525-9140, ext. 22133 or e-mail shkimba@mcmaster.ca.
