Indigenous Research Chairs in Nursing Initiative

The Indigenous Research Chair in Nursing initiative supports the development of best practices in nursing in order to improve the health of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.

Overview

The Indigenous Research Chair in Nursing initiative supports nurses of both Indigenous and non-indigenous ancestry to conduct research in Indigenous Health Nursing, furthering the development of knowledge and best and wise practices in the area of nursing practice, education, research and administration. The Chairs undertake research to understand social, economic and cultural determinants of health and Indigenous holistic health practices to improve the health of Indigenous Peoples. The initiative includes a training and capacity development component and provides a learning environment for trainees aligned with the individual Chairs.
