We are excited to annouunce that Kumar Murty has been awarded the University of Toronto’s President’s Impact Award for his contributions to the Ontario COVID-19 Science Advisory Table.
The Ontario COVID-19 Science Advisory Table was a vital source of evidence-based analysis informing Ontario’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. A uniquely collaborative and multisectoral body initially hosted by the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, the Science Table brought together interdisciplinary expertise to analyze and interpret emerging COVID-19 research and data to support a rapid response to urgent pandemic decisions. Thirteen University of Toronto faculty members, played instrumental leadership roles, while many more contributed their expertise and time to Science Table working groups, modelling and scientific briefs.
