The Network Environments for Indigenous Health Research (NEIHR) in Alberta
Building a Research Network for Improving Primary Health Care with Indigenous people in Alberta
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 knowledge as well as social, political, clinical and population health care knowledge areas.
The IPHCPR Network will support researchers, health system leaders, health service providers, and Indigenous communities to come together to build and share knowledge and to create dialogue aimed at improving health outcomes with Indigenous peoples.
