Project Leads

About the Project Leads program

As Atlantic Canada’s primary research-intensive university, Dalhousie’s research excellence is recognized worldwide, and the MacEachen Institute is proud to contribute to this storied reputation as the University’s policy hub.

The MacEachen Institute’s Project Leads program is an opportunity for members of Dalhousie University’s research community to have an impact on policy at the local, regional, and national level. As Project Leads, our scholars influence public conversations on today’s most relevant issues, and further their work through projects and research.

Our Project Leads provide leadership and build the Institute’s research capacity within one of our key research themes: health; environment; finance, the economy, and rural economic development; and democracy and engagement.
