Background

About Sara Urowitz

I am a strategic leader with 15+ years at the intersection of research, policy, and community impact—turning data into action to inform funding, strategy, and systems change. With a PhD and deep experience across national initiatives in health, cancer research, and Indigenous partnership, I have helped shape policy, grow research infrastructure, and enable collaborative, evidence-informed decisions. Rooted in Jewish values and community, I bring both professional and personal commitment to strengthening communal life, addressing equity, and shaping policy that works in the real world. Passionate about using research to enable change—whether through cross-sector coalitions, demographic insights, or outcome-focused evaluation—I thrive when building systems, influencing strategy, and making a difference for people.
