The Nasivvik Centre for Inuit Health and Changing Environments is
accepting applications for Masters and doctoral scholarships in the
field of Inuit environmental health.
The Nasivvik Centre for Inuit Health and Changing Environments is a
multidisciplinary research and training center funded by the Institute
of Aboriginal Peoples Health (IAPH), one of the thirteen institutes of the
Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). The Nasivvik Centre is
focused on building capacity in Inuit health research through trainee
support and promoting research in specific areas of Inuit environmental
health, including:
- contaminants, diet, nutrition, and the environment;
- healthy homes, e.g., air and water quality;
- climate change and Inuit health;
- northern environmental health surveillance and monitoring; and
- Inuit and scientific knowledge for environmental health research,
e.g., traditional medicines and research methods for knowledge
incorporation.
Scholarship applications are invited from students whose graduate
research focuses on an issue related to one or more of the above themes.
Proposals for projects that are being conducted in cooperation with an
Inuit community or organization, which include some in-community
research time, and that have a high probability of contributing to the
understanding of a specific Inuit environmental health issue and the
student's education in Inuit health are strongly encouraged.
Applicants must be full-time graduate students at any recognized
Canadian university or institution and Canadian citizens or permanent
residents of Canada.
