UBC receives $4.8M for sexual and reproductive health projects

The University of British Columbia has received nearly $4.8M from the Government of Canada for two projects focused on sexual and reproductive health services accessibility. UBC’s Contraceptive & Abortion Research Team will use $4.3M to undertake several initiatives including updating content on the Canadian Abortion Provider Support Website and developing resources for patients. UBC’s Stigma and Resilience Among Vulnerable Youth Centre will receive $451K, which will be used to develop and implement sexual education sessions for diverse 2SLGBTQI+ youth in British Columbia and Newfoundland and Labrador. The funding is a part of a broader $13M investment in sexual and reproductive health projects.
