Network Environments for Aboriginal Research (NEARBC) Canadian Coalition for Global Health Research 5th Annual Summer Insititute.
A limited number of spaces are available for “dyads” or pairs of researchers on the same project or team where one is from a low- or middle-income country (LMIC) and one is from Canada. SI5 is intended to promote LMIC-Canada partnerships in addressing specific Indigenous health research challenges including, but not limited to, identifying Indigenous peoples, engaging community in the research endeavor, ensuring ethical standards are met (e.g., collective consent with respect to knowledge that is communally endowed], knowledge translation and exchange.)
