The Chanchlani Global Health Research Award was created by the Chanchlani Family and McMaster University, Canada in 2012, to recognize a leading scholar in the area of Global Health. Each year a Scholar within the broad Global Health domain (i.e. Determinants of Health, Policy Development, and Innovative Solutions) is chosen from nominations we receive from inside and outside of McMaster University, and an internal review committee selects the awardee.

This year’s awardee is Michelle A. Williams, SM ’88, ScD ’91, a renowned epidemiologist, an award-winning educator, and a widely recognized academic leader. She recently stepped down as Dean of the Faculty at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health after seven years, and is currently spending a sabbatical year as a Visiting Professor at Stanford University. Following her sabbatical, she will return to the Harvard Chan School as the Joan and Julius Jacobson Professor in Public Health. Prior to becoming Dean, she was Professor and Chair of the Department of Epidemiology at the Harvard Chan School and Program Leader of the Population Health and Health Disparities Research Programs at Harvard’s Clinical and Translational Sciences Center.
