The Network Environments for Indigenous Health Research (NEIHR)
IPHCPR: Building a Research Network for Improving Primary Health Care with Indigenous people in Alberta
Our vision is to promote a renewed and transformed primary health care (PHC) system to achieve Indigenous health equity by advancing research that links knowledge to policy and practice, fomenting evidence-informed structural and policy innovations based in equity and Indigenous Ways of Knowing.
About the Network
The IPHCPR Network will nurture research that responds to the needs of community, is grounded within Indigenous ethics and addresses the impacts of ongoing colonization of Indigenous peoples. In nurturing this research, the Network seeks to clearly define the emerging knowledge area of Indigenous PHC which is unique as it is deeply connected to community, as well as social, political, clinical and population health.
Our Partnerships
The IPHCPR Network will support Indigenous communities, researchers, health system leaders, and health service providers to come together to build and share knowledge and to create dialogue aimed at improving health outcomes with Indigenous peoples.
