The Nasivvik Centre for Inuit Health and Changing Environments is a
multidisciplinary research and training centre funded by the Institute
of Aboriginal Peoples Health (IAPH), one of the 13 institutes of the
Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). The Nasivvik Centre is

health. The three theme areas, as they pertain to community responses to
environmental change, and in particular issues related to Inuit health
and well-being are:
