Moving to Centre for Collaborative Action on Indigenous Health Governance (CCAIHG), Simon Fraser University (SFU)
We are thrilled to share that we will be moving to the Centre for Collaborative Action on Indigenous Health Governance (CCAIHG) at Simon Fraser University (SFU) under the leadership of Dr. Krista Stelkia (Nominated Principal Investigator). CCAIHG is an Indigenous-led research centre that paves a transformative path for Indigenous people, communities, and scholars to learn from and share their experiences on Indigenous health governance.
About BC NEIHR:
Funded by the CIHR Institute of Indigenous Peoples’ Health (IIPH), the BC NEIHR is one of nine Indigenous-led networks across Canada that support research leadership among Indigenous (First Nations, Métis and Inuit) communities, collectives and organizations (ICCOs). The purpose of the Network Environments for Indigenous Health Research Program is to establish a national network of centres focused on capacity development, research and knowledge translation (KT). This network of centres provides supportive research environments for Indigenous health research led by, and grounded in, Indigenous communities in Canada.
This five-year program also supports Indigenous student research as well as facilitates community-led research partnerships between ICCOs, students, researchers and organizations. Through an extensive network of experienced and dedicated members and partners, including the First Nations Health Authority, BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres, and Métis Nation BC, the BC NEIHR supports an Indigenous-led provincial health research agenda.
Woven from the values, knowledge systems, priorities and leadership of Indigenous Peoples in BC, our collective vision is to contribute to the improved health, wellbeing and strength of Indigenous Peoples by:
- Supporting Indigenous Health Research Leadership
- Supporting Culturally Safe and Ethical Indigenous Health Research
- Supporting Indigenous Health Research Development
- Supporting Indigenous Health Research Capacity Development
