Roots for Indigenous Partnered Research

Roots for Indigenous Partnered Research aims to strengthen collaborations between researchers and Indigenous communities, collectives, and organizations (ICCOs) by increasing the capacity of UBC and the broader research community to partner in a good way. The cluster focuses on integrating Indigenous values, methodologies, and ways of knowing into academic health research, addressing the challenges Indigenous and allied scholars face in a colonial system. Through regular events, the cluster will foster community, share knowledge, and highlight Indigenous-led health research and partnership opportunities, all while prioritizing reciprocal, relational, and culturally safe practices.
