NPD42 - Making Research Work for Nunavummiut: Follow up and Next steps sponsored by Braiding Knowledges Canada

Building on the "Making research work for Nunavummiut" townhall hosted at ArcticNet ASM 2022, and following on demonstrations of the Isirvik Nunavut Research portal at ArcticNet ASM 2023, we aim to expand discussions with this townhall  

This Townhall is an opportunity ask questions and share experiences with representatives of the Nunavut Research Institute, Qaujigiartiit Health Research Centre, and McMaster University about how to better support Nunavummiut and visiting researchers. We welcome participation and feedback on: i) ways research is working for Nunavummiut, ii) approaches to addressing research fatigue in Nunavut, iii) working according to updated research licensing requirements; iv) using Isirvik to see what research is happening where; and, v) developing resources needed to enhance research capacity.  

This discussion will help inform a Nunavut-specific approach to implementing the National Inuit Strategy on Research with the goal of improving research engagement and outcomes for Nunavummiut
