Context
Established in 2021, the Novo Nordisk Network for Healthy Populations (NHP) is a cross-disciplinary research network at the University of Toronto (UofT) that aims to reduce the risk and burden of type 2 diabetes and related cardiometabolic conditions. The NHP brings together experts from the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, Temerty Faculty of Medicine, and the University of Toronto Mississauga—where the Network is based—to find new ways to support healthier urban living. In collaboration with community partners in Peel Region, these UofT researchers are creating locally relevant solutions that can help improve health outcomes for not just individuals but whole communities.
Core Aim
Reduce inequities in risk and burden of diabetes and related cardiometabolic conditions across the lifespan, through better care, lower risk factors and healthier living environments in Peel Region and beyond.

Priorities
- Ensure the work we do is shared broadly with local, national and international partners
- Create solutions that are scalable to other settings
- Learn locally, share globally
