Dear HCI Colleagues,

Hope you are in good health.

I am trying to put together a grant proposal (UofT internal) to develop an accessible voice-based healthcare system for marginalized communities both in Ontario and in the Global South. I already have partners from the Global South, but I do not have many from UofT. If you find this proposal interesting, I will be very happy to add you as my collaborator on this proposal (and your required workload for this is close to zero).

I have attached the grant call to this mail. The deadline is April 1.

Here is the first draft of the proposal, and I will keep polishing it until the deadline is over.

Please let me know if you are interested. Also, your comments, suggestions, etc. are welcome.

Best Regards, Ishtiaque
