Research and Evaluations
The Research and Evaluation Program aims to enhance the impact and reach of our Centre’s activities and build the evidence base for initiatives that strengthen Indigenous health leadership.
Our research program aligns with our strategic goals of supporting emerging and established Indigenous health leaders and creating academic pathways for Indigenous people in health disciplines.
The portfolio of work includes evaluations of our current programs and initiatives to ensure that they are evidence-based and responsive, as well as projects that contribute to national and international conversations around Indigenous excellence within the academy and beyond it.
Together, these initiatives focus on the way Indigenous knowledges contribute to improving health systems and outcomes for Indigenous peoples.
