Kenjgewin Teg has announced that it has achieved institutional grant eligibility from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. This eligibility allows the institution to administer CIHR grants and awards. “Research can be mystifying at first, but at its core, it’s about ‘making meaning’ and getting to a greater understanding of why things are happening or not happening,” said Kenjgewin Teg President Dr Beverley Roy. “In our context of Anishinaabe higher education, for Kenjgewin Teg, this new funding eligibility status from CIHR will allow us to bring forth and expand our conversations about holistic health and wellness for learners and their communities, wellness models, and Mino Bmaadziwin – all from our Anishinaabe worldview lens.” CIHR is the second federal funding agency to give grant eligibility to the institution, preceded by SSHRC in 2023.
