PRINCE GEORGE- UNBC is one of four BC interior research universities the province is investing in to understand the harmful effects of COVID-19 and mitigate its impact on communities across the province.
The province is funding five collaborative research projects through the Interior University Research Coalition, ranging from identifying the effects of the pandemic on the mental health and well-being of people living in rural communities, to developing telehealth programs that will engage older adults outside urban centres.
Other projects include a focus on improving the lifespan of N95 masks, as well building a better understanding of whether new technologies are improving the resiliency of rural health-care practitioners.
