The Atlantic Indigenous health research network will be receiving $4M in support from the federal government over the next five years. The network—which has partnerships with Cape Breton University, Memorial University, and St Francis Xavier University, among other organizations—aims to support Indigenous communities and give them agency over health research. It supports a variety of initiatives with the goal of building capacity for Indigenous health research and supporting the Atlantic Indigenous Mentorship Network. “When money flows to the community-based organizations … it does build capacity at the community level and a different sense of ownership over the research,” said Memorial Adjunct Professor Jamie Snook.
