Kenjgewin Teg has announced that the Manitoulin Anishinaabek Research Review Committee (MARRC) will officially become part of the institution. MARRC is a committee that reviews research proposals and provides recommendations to researchers and community partners, with the goal of supporting informed decision-making and ethical research planning practices. The move is expected to strengthen Indigenous-led research ethics, community-based research leadership, and culturally grounded research practices across Mnidoo Mnising (Manitoulin Island). “With the support of Noojmowin Teg Health Centre and a dedicated team of volunteers, MARRC has helped reshape the research landscape by applying Anishinaabek ethics guidelines to research proposals,” stated MARRC Chair Dr Lorrilee McGregor. “The shift to Kenjgewin Teg aligns with its new research focus, ensuring the momentum built over the years continues.”
