Grand Challenges Canada Application - Please Show Your Support!
A Canadian grant agency is using social networking to contribute to their review process by having each investigator post a 2-minute animated explanation of their project to try to win support from the community. This is a U of T grant application by Tim Chan (Engineering), Dr. Laurie Morrison (Emergency Medicine), Yu Ling Cheng (Global Health), and partners in Bangladesh to try to develop a simulation model to optimize transportation routes (through traffic, population density and urban upheavals) for ambulances in a city in Bangladesh to quickly transport the sick and injured to a hospital. This simulation model will have important contributions to the transport of the sick and injured in developing and developed countries and the software application has the potential to save many lives where time-sensitive interventions are helpful. Tim Chan's brother is the animation expert behind the short video!
