We are pleased to congratulate Dr. Geoffrey Fong, on receiving the prestigious Royal Society of Canada Eric Jackman Prize in the Human Behavioural and Social Sciences.
This award recognizes Dr. Fong’s remarkable contributions to tobacco control research and the difference his work has made to public health policies around the world.
As the Founder and Chief Principal Investigator of the International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation Project (ITC Project), Dr. Fong has built an impressive international research collaboration involving more than 150 researchers across 31 countries. Through this work, his team has helped generate important evidence that supports effective tobacco-control policies and improves public health.
Dr. Fong’s achievement is a wonderful example of how research in behavioural and social sciences can make a real difference in people's lives. It is also a reflection of the dedication and impact of the many researchers and collaborators who have contributed to this work over the years.
