Description (French)
Ce projet est basé au Yukon et a pour but d’y créer un environnement réseau pour la recherche sur la santé des Autochtones (ERRSA), environnement dirigé par des Aînés des Premières Nations du Yukon, des experts et des chercheurs communautaires. Le projet renforcera la recherche en santé menée par les Premières Nations du Yukon en créant un espace de travail collaboratif, ancré dans les connaissances et valeurs des Autochtones du Yukon, sur des priorités communes, des questions d’éthique, des formations et des activités de gouvernance. Le financement de POLAIRE aidera à la consultation de Premières Nations du Yukon pour orienter l’élaboration de méthodes de recherche ainsi que des initiatives de mentorat et de formation pour les futurs chercheurs en santé autochtone.
