CGS and USFQ faculty have been awarded the National Institutes of Health R21 Research Grant Award for their new, interdisciplinary and inter-institutional collaboration project that will investigate how the water and food environments of the Galápagos impact human health. This project, entitled the Healthy Family Study, will measure the availability of clean water and healthy foods on the islands, using a mixture of spatial, observational, and secondary analytic methods in order to assess their effect on human health.
